Job description

HR Internship: Help Build the Future of HR

Are you ready for an internship where you actually get to build something?

Solo | Rijswijk or Ede | Internship | 4-6 months | Working internship or graduation internship

Solo is on an exciting journey. We are bringing together three established companies into one European organization with the ambition to become Europe's leading one-stop shop for custom branded merchandise. And HR is right at the heart of that transformation.

We are looking for ambitious HR interns who want to learn, contribute and make a real impact. Depending on your interests and studies, you could work across areas such as:

• Talent Management
• Talent Acquisition
• Learning & Development
• HR Technology & AI
• Compensation & Benefits
• Internal Communications
• Employee Engagement

What could you work on?

This will not be an internship where you spend your time watching from the sidelines.

You could contribute to projects such as:

• Implementing our new HR information system
• Supporting our organizational transformation
• Building our Sales Academy and other functional academies
• Developing our engagement strategy
• Supporting talent, performance and succession initiatives
• Exploring how AI can make HR smarter and more effective
• Improving internal communication and the employee experience

Our broader people agenda is focused on creating a high-performing, engaged and future-ready organization, with particular focus on performance, succession, leadership development and functional academies.

At the same time, you will support the HR team with day-to-day HR activities. We believe a great internship combines exciting projects with learning how HR really works in practice.

What we are looking for:

You are currently studying Human Resources, Business, Organizational Psychology, Communications or a related field.

More importantly, you:

• Are enthusiastic, curious, proactive and keen to learn
• Like taking ownership rather than waiting for instructions
• Are comfortable working in a changing environment
• Enjoy combining ideas with hands-on execution
• Are interested in technology and AI
• Communicate clearly and enjoy working with different people and cultures

You can join us for either a working internship or graduation internship, provided you are also able and willing to contribute to our day-to-day HR agenda.

What we offer:

Most importantly: real exposure and real responsibility.

You will work alongside our HR team on topics that are shaping the future of the organization. You will have room to explore your own interests, bring new ideas and potentially take ownership of a project from start to finish.

We are building rather than maintaining. That means things will move fast, not everything has been figured out yet, and your ideas can genuinely influence what we create.

About us

Solo is building Europe's leading one-stop shop for custom branded merchandise. Solo, midocean and XD Connects, three well-established names in our industry, are coming together as one European company, with sales offices across Europe, design and sourcing in Asia, and our own production and printing facilities.

We help businesses connect with their employees and customers through products people actually want to keep, while working hard to reduce our impact on the environment. We DARE to challenge the way things have always been done. We CARE about our people, our customers and our planet. And we GO FAST, working together across borders to turn ambition into results.

Joining Solo now means joining a company in the middle of building something big. You will be challenged, you will be inspired, and you will be proud of what we create together. 2500+ colleagues across Europe are looking forward to welcoming you.
