People Operations & Analytics Intern

Nerdio

1d

About The Position

Nerdio is building the infrastructure that powers Microsoft cloud at scale - and our People team is building the infrastructure that powers Nerdio. This internship puts you at the center of two high-impact initiatives: cleaning and governing the data that drives our people strategy, and documenting the operational playbook that keeps our HR engine running. You'll work hands-on with real systems, real stakeholders, and real data - and leave with artifacts your future employers will actually want to see.

Requirements

• Rising junior or senior studying HR Analytics, Business Intelligence, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related field — or any major with demonstrated analytical coursework or experience.
• Proficient in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Comfortable working with messy, real-world data — finding patterns, flagging inconsistencies, and drawing conclusions.
• Systems thinker: you naturally ask 'how does this connect to everything else?'
• Strong written and verbal communicator — you can translate data findings into plain language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Self-directed and curious; you don't wait to be told what's broken — you go find it.
• Collaborative by default; this role requires partnership across People, IT, and Operations teams.

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) or SQL is a strong plus.
• Any exposure to HRIS platforms (Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, etc.).
• Experience designing or documenting processes or workflows.
• Interest in AI tools and how they apply to HR or business operations.

Responsibilities

• Audit key HR data fields in Rippling, surface inconsistencies, and help build a governance framework.
• Conduct root-cause analysis of data errors or mismatches in partnership with system owners.
• Develop a 'People Data Governance Framework' defining ownership, correction cadence, and escalation paths.
• Identify and build data-focused dashboards to enable the People team and business leaders to identify trends and insights.
• Map core HR workflows across Rippling, Remote.com, benefits vendors, and leave management.
• Document and improve 2-3 core HR processes with clear ownership and decision points.
• Create a finalized 'HR Operations SOP Playbook' for ongoing internal use, particularly for talent acquisition and onboarding activities.
• Explore where AI can add value to recruiting and performance management, researching leading companies and evaluating tools.
• Design a pilot AI use case with a sponsor, including a business case covering benefits, risks, and a path to scale.
