About Weekday Weekday is reinventing how companies hire. Backed by top investors including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Kunal Shah (CRED), and Cloud Capital, we're building India's most powerful platform to hire white-collar talent, used by some of the most ambitious startups and enterprises today.

About the Role We are hiring a Founding People & Operations (HR) Intern — an ambitious, exceptionally smart individual who wants to get hands-on exposure to high-impact HR and people operations. This is not a typical intern role you'll work directly with founders, HR leadership, and cross-functional teams to drive core initiatives across people, culture, hiring, and internal operations. If you're someone who thrives on ownership, pace, precision, and clear communication, this is your shot at working with one of the most mission-driven teams out there.

Automate repetitive and manual workflows to increase efficiency across the employee lifecycle. Set up robust documentation and audit-ready systems for people operations. Build internal HR dashboards and data pipelines to enable real-time insights and decision-making.
2. Strategic Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning Define hiring strategy across functions in close alignment with founders and business needs. Own and build a repeatable, data-driven recruitment engine with standardized processes and automation. Set up systems for structured interviews, performance benchmarking, and candidate assessments.

3. Founders' Office & Special Projects Act as a strategic partner to the founders on people-centric projects, leadership development, and org health. Drive confidential or cross-functional initiatives requiring strong judgment and stakeholder alignment. Lead change management initiatives as the company grows and evolves. Own high-impact "zero-to-one" projects across operations, culture, and compliance.
