HR Undergraduate Intern - People Org

Zillow • Seattle, WA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Zillow is hiring two undergraduate Human Resources interns for its nine-week summer internship program, which runs from June through August 2027. One intern will join the Talent organization, and one will join Employee Service and Operations. Each intern will be assigned to one host team; this is not a rotational program. Projects will depend on the host team and business priorities and will address a defined business need. Interns will work alongside experienced HR professionals, collaborate with partners, and develop recommendations or resources while building practical skills and connecting with mentors, leaders, and the intern cohort.

Potential Talent project areas include recruiting and talent research, learning and development, onboarding, employee engagement, performance programs, executive talent initiatives, and talent experience and enablement. Employee Service and Operations projects may involve employee service experience, HR process improvement, employee-facing knowledge resources and communications, or HR operations and enablement.

The 2027 internships are based in Seattle and follow a hybrid schedule, with interns generally working together in person Tuesday through Thursday. The role is categorized as an Office position, with employees regularly working at an existing ZG corporate office for approximately 80 to 100 percent of their time each month. Interns must live within reasonable commuting distance of their designated office. Eligible interns will receive a stipend to help offset summer housing and relocation costs.
