• Support other related projects as needed.

Qualifications:

• Current student or recent graduate studying Human Resources, Benefits Administration, Compensation, Legal Studies, or related fields.

• Strong ability to comprehend and analyze moderately complex legal documents.

• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.

• Experience or coursework in paralegal studies or HR compliance is a plus.

What We Offer:

• Flexible remote work option.

• Hands-on experience with real-world HR and legal compliance challenges.

• Opportunity to contribute to impactful system enhancements and projects.

Duration:

• The internship will begin immediately and run through the completion of the LOA project in April 2025, with the potential for extension to focus on CBA benefit language review.
