• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or master’s degree in human resources or a related field.
• Ability to commute to Ambler, PA to work on a hybrid basis as needed. 
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with data and documentation.
• Interest in HR operations, HR technology, and/or employee experience.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint); familiarity with SharePoint or other collaboration tools is a plus.
