People & Office Intern

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.

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

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.

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

• You post vacancies and manage the candidate pipeline.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
