Intern / Working Student International HR (m/f/d)

Description

Finance in Motion is a leading impact asset manager, structuring, managing, and advising on nearly €4 billion in assets across 10 funds—all classified as SFDR Article 9. Founded in Germany, we bring over two decades of experience investing in emerging markets. With deep local expertise from Latin America to Eastern Europe, we focus on advancing green and social impact. Our investments, through private and public debt, as well as private equity are firmly aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our mission is clear: to invest where it matters most.
Now, we’re looking for someone who shares our passion and purpose.

As an HR Intern or Working Student at Finance in Motion for a duration of minimum 6 months, you will become part of our HR team and get exposure to different areas of HR from day one. Rather than focusing on just one topic, you will support us across recruitment, learning & development, HR operations and different HR projects. You will work with colleagues across our international organization and get the opportunity to understand how HR works in practice in a diverse and fast-moving environment. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Support our recruitment activities, incl. interview coordination and communication with candidates and hiring managers
• Support the organization of trainings and learning activities, incl. invitations, registrations and attendance tracking
• Help prepare and coordinate onboarding activities for new colleagues
• Support the HR team with employee documentation, incl. drafting reference letters, contracts and maintaining templates
• Assist with HR data, reporting and our HR systems
• Support ongoing HR projects and initiatives, giving you exposure to topics such as employee experience, performance, learning, compensation and organizational development
• Contribute ideas on how we can improve and simplify HR processes
• Take on additional responsibilities as you grow into the role

What we expect:

• You are currently studying or have recently completed a degree in Human Resources, Business Administration/Economics, Law, Psychology, Social Sciences or a related field
• You are interested in developing your career in Human Resources and want to gain practical experience
• You enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and cultures
• You are organized, reliable and comfortable coordinating several topics at the same time
• You have a hands-on attitude and are not afraid to take ownership of smaller tasks and projects
• You work accurately and understand that confidentiality is essential when working in HR
• You are comfortable working with Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel
• You have very good communication skills in English and German; another language would be an advantage
• Previous HR experience is welcome but not required. What matters most is your curiosity and willingness to learn.

  
What you can expect:

• Real HR experience from day one, not just observation
• The opportunity to take responsibility and develop during your 6–9 months with us
• A supportive HR team that will help you learn while giving you room to contribute
• An agile, widely diverse international working environment of around 70 nationalities that is keenly interested in making a positive difference through their work and who share a collaborative, can-do spirit. 
• A job that allows you to fully utilize and expand your skills within an innovative, hands-on company culture. 
• A purpose-driven, performance-oriented company that rewards above-average results. 
• An organization dedicated to providing effective training and upskilling to its employees. 
• A company that offers a flexible and amicable work environment, placing a high value on work-life balance. 

We, a team of around 300 dedicated professionals across 14 regional offices worldwide, are committed to advancing sustainable development through pioneering finance solutions. If you relish tackling complex challenges hands-on and crave an adaptable and motivating work environment, we're eager to connect with you.
