Human Resources Intern (Summer 2025)

The Human Resources (HR) Internship is a 10-week developmental experience within the Westfield Human Resources department. The intern will have ownership of high impact project deliverables and assignments and work alongside HR team members with expertise in multiple disciplines across HR. The intern will have the opportunity to actively participate in the enterprise summer intern program, which includes learning workshops, community investment opportunities, leadership talks and summertime fun! The specific HR team and manager assignment will be determined closer to the start of the internship based on project prioritization. Projects will likely be a defined scope of work within Talent Management, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Community Investment, or Total Rewards. There will also be ample opportunity to partner with the Human Resources Business Partner team throughout the internship period. This internship will be on site with a hybrid schedule at our beautiful Westfield Center Ohio corporate headquarters.
