People & Workplace Intern

Job description

Join Choco, where we build and own solutions that reshape a broken food system. The global food supply chain is inefficient by design. Waste is high, margins are thin, and most distributor order processes are done over the phone, tracked across broad spreadsheets, and based on intuition rather than strong data. At Choco, we’re changing that. We build software used daily by food distributors and their customers to run their business. It automates orders, reduces errors, and helps operations run faster and more reliably. Because it’s embedded in daily operations, our SaaS platform has immediate, real-world impact, on efficiency, margins, and how businesses run day to day. As our People & Workplace Intern, you'll help create an exceptional employee experience by supporting our HR operations and ensuring our Paris office runs smoothly. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn how People Operations works in a fast-growing international tech company while making a real impact from day one. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Support payroll administration and prepare employee contracts and HR documentation - Maintain accurate employee records and organize HR documentation in Notion - Coordinate the day-to-day operations of our Paris office, including facilities, vendors, and office supplies - Welcome employees and visitors and support office events and engagement initiatives - Respond to employee requests and provide administrative support to the People team - Identify opportunities to improve and automate HR and workplace processes WHAT YOU BRING - Currently pursuing a Bac+2 or Bac+3 degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field - Fluent in French and English - Highly organized with strong attention to detail - Proactive, autonomous, and eager to learn - A people-oriented mindset with excellent communication skills - Previous internship or student job experience is a plus WHAT YOU GET - Work on digitalizing core operating systems for food distributors, automating orders, sales and payments in a system that still largely runs on calls and spreadsheets. - Work with an AI product with proven product–market fit, already embedded in distributor workflows and directly affecting order accuracy, speed, and margins. - Join a global team across 6 countries and 40+ nationalities, building a company that has raised $300M+ and reached unicorn status (~$1.2B valuation) with the ambition to define this category end-to-end. - In return, you get real ownership, equity, and the support to do your best work, including competitive compensation, health and wellbeing support, and long-term benefits like a sabbatical (all localized by office). - Collaborate with people who want to own outcomes in a messy, real-world system and make it work at scale. If you want to work on real problems, take ownership, and raise the bar, we should talk. Choco is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We are committed to ensuring that our technology is available and accessible to everyone.
