General Description of the Role

The HR Intern at Canale Plant joins a hands-on HR team embedded in one of Campari Group's Italian production sites, home to the production of iconic brands including Aperol, Sarti, Riccadonna, Braulio. This role offers a genuine 360° HR experience: from day-to-day administration and industrial relations to talent management, performance processes, and learning — all within the specific rhythm and culture of a manufacturing environment.

Beyond generalist exposure, the intern will play an active role in two strategic site initiatives: supporting the change management process for the digitalization of time and attendance systems, and contributing to recruitment for a production insourcing project.

Key Responsibilities & Activities

• Support the Plant HR Administration Specialist in day-to-day HR administration: personnel records, contract management, attendance tracking, and local compliance documentation
• Contribute to the digitalization project of the time and attendance process, including change management (training, communication support, user adoption follow-up, and coordination with the relevant IT and operations stakeholders)
• Support end-to-end recruitment activities for a relevant production insourcing project liaising with external recruitment agencies (Job description definition, CV screening, interview scheduling, onboarding coordination)
• Leverage AI tools to improve efficiency in HR administrative tasks, document management, and reporting where applicable
• Lead the digitalization of the plant's paper HR archive: scanning, indexing, and organizing documents in the HR digital repository in compliance with data privacy requirements
• Contribute to the development of a unified skill matrix and performance management process definition for operators
• Assist in the coordination of learning and development activities at the plant
• Exposure to industrial relations activities at site level
• Contribute to internal communication initiatives aimed at engaging the plant workforce across all levels

Key Relationships

Internal: Senior HR Manager Italian Plants, HR Administration Specialist, Plant Director and Plant Leadership Team, Team Leaders, Shopfloor Operators, HSE function, Group HR CoEs for process alignment

External: Recruitment agencies and training providers, payroll provider

Requirements — Education & Experience

• Master's Degree in Human Resources Management, Labor Relations, Psychology (organizational track), or Economics with an HR specialization — preferred
• 0–6 months of work or internship experience (curricular or post-degree)
• Prior exposure to manufacturing, production, or industrial environments is a plus — not required

Hard Skills

• Solid command of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook)
• Familiarity with HR information systems or willingness to learn quickly (SuccessFactors experience is a plus)
• Good understanding of Italian labor law and CCNL framework — or strong motivation to develop it
• Document management and digital archiving skills
• Comfort with AI productivity tools (e.g., Copilot, or equivalent) for data analysis, workflow automation, agents creation
• Data entry accuracy and attention to detail in administrative processes

Soft Skills

• Learning agility: actively seeks new knowledge, adapts quickly, and applies learning in real situations — comfortable in environments where not everything is defined in advance
• Can-do attitude: takes initiative, follows through on commitments, and approaches challenges with energy rather than hesitation
• Interpersonal range: able to build genuine, respectful relationships across all levels of the organization — from the Plant Director to shopfloor operators — adapting communication style to context
• Curiosity about people and organizations: genuine interest in how HR shapes culture, performance, and industrial relations in a production environment
• Discretion and reliability: handles sensitive personnel information with confidentiality and professional judgment

Additional Requirements

• Full professional proficiency in Italian (written and spoken) — required
• English at B1–B2 level — useful for interacting with Group HR tools, documentation and central functions
• Availability to be present on-site at Canale (CN) — this is a plant-based role; remote work is not the primary modality
