Job description

At Parfumado, we're looking for a People & Office intern who wants to learn the full breadth of the field, from office management to HR. In a fast-growing company, you can look behind the scenes everywhere and learn a lot in a short time. You'll get real responsibility: a set of tasks you own and manage independently, with guidance from your manager.

Parfumado is a fast-growing scale-up offering a fragrance subscription. Our team of around 70 people is split between an office team of about 25 and a warehouse team of about 45. You'll make sure everyone has a pleasant, well-organised workplace and that new colleagues feel welcome from day one.

What you'll learn

This internship gives you a broad view of the field: you'll learn both office management and HR. You'll see up close how a fast-growing organisation works, from the first application to the last working day, and from supplier agreements to team events. You'll gain hands‑on experience with recruitment, onboarding and HR administration, and a basic understanding of Dutch employment law. At Parfumado you'll get a look at many different parts of the business, so you'll learn a lot in a short time.

You'll work closely with our People & Office manager, who is also your internship supervisor. We'll have a weekly check-in and align your learning goals with your study programme's requirements. Spot a chance to improve something, such as a smarter onboarding process? Then you'll get the room to take it on yourself.

What you'll do

You'll work across both office management and HR, so no two days are the same.

Onboarding & offboarding

• You draft employment contracts for new colleagues based on our templates.

• You prepare first working days: laptop, accounts, Swapfiets and welcome package.

• You schedule the first meetings, so new colleagues know who to meet and when.

• You welcome new colleagues and are their first point of contact in their first weeks.

• You help build towards our goal to have the best onboarding ever

• You handle the practical side of offboarding, such as collecting equipment.

Recruitment support

• You post vacancies and manage the candidate pipeline.

• You schedule interviews and send confirmations and rejections.

• Over time, you take on the first screening of CVs and join job interviews to gain experience in interviewing.

Events & culture

• You organise team lunches, drinks and team building days.

• You help with bigger events, such as our annual team trip (previous editions took us to Paris, Antwerp and Vlieland): comparing venues, requesting quotes and keeping the planning on track.

Office management

• You run day-to-day office operations: mail, supplies, stock and supplier relationships.

• You coordinate the daily office lunch and manage its budget.

• You make sure the office is well organised and safe, and spot opportunities to improve how things run.

HR administration

• You keep personnel files up to date and process documents in our HR system.

• You prepare standard contracts and letters based on our templates.

• You record leave and sick leave in the system, supervised by the HR manager.

• You answer practical questions from colleagues, for example about employee benefits, leave or lunch.

What we offer

• A monthly internship allowance of €450, based on a full-time internship

• Flexible start date: from February 2027, or earlier in consultation

• A hands‑on internship where you'll learn all aspects of HR and office management

• Plenty of responsibility and room for your own ideas

• A dedicated supervisor who guides you from day one

• A dynamic environment within a fast-growing company

• Delicious and healthy free lunch at the office

• Discounts at Adidas, Zalando, NA-KD and many more through Corporate Benefits

• Fun team activities, such as padel

• And, of course, a Parfumado subscription with a perfume of your choice every month!

Who we're looking for

• You're studying HRM, Facility Management, Business Administration or a related field at university of applied sciences (hbo) level.

• You're looking for an internship or graduation internship of at least 5 months, 4-5 days a week.

• You're hands‑on and love getting things done.

• You're highly reliable and professional, also when handling confidential information.

• You switch easily between thinking and doing: you spot what can be better and put it into practice.

• You take initiative and aren't afraid to ask questions.

• You speak and write fluent Dutch and English.

• Experience with Google Workspace is a plus; experience with an HR system is nice to have, but not required.
