People Operations Intern

Who we are

We’re GoSpooky: the ones who get all things social. A global agency made for the social era. We grow brands through content, community and commerce, keeping them at the forefront of culture. Social isn’t just first, it’s the foundation.

From creatives and commerce specialists to game designers and data analysts, we cover the full social spectrum. If it shapes internet culture, we’re on it, making fast, bold and relevant work that actually gets shared.

From TikToks that break the For You Page, to creator stories built with real community insights, all the way to TikTok Shop, social affiliates and live social shopping that convert in real time.

As official partners of Instagram and Snapchat and partners and social affiliates of TikTok (Shop), we work with brands like KLM, JBL, Samsung, Prime Video and HEMA. Driven by bold ambition, endless creativity and authentic people, our teams think ahead, react fast and keep brands culturally relevant. Whether it’s live social shopping, creator management, social-first campaigns or turning a trend into a brand moment.

We’re always looking for fresh energy: people who bring new perspectives, challenge the norm and help us and our clients evolve. If you love shaking up social, thinking big and moving fast, you’ll fit right in.

The role

As our People Operations Intern, you’ll be the behind-the-scenes hero who keeps things running smoothly. Think of yourself as the glue that holds our team together: welcoming new hires, making sure our HR systems are up-to-date, supporting with contracts and documents, and helping organize team events.

It’s a hands-on role where you’ll get a close look at how HR works in a fast-paced creative agency. Most tasks will be administrative, but you’ll learn a ton about onboarding, payroll, sick leave processes, and modern HR tools. And the best part? You’ll play a direct part in making GoSpooky an awesome place to work and will support our one-of-a-kind team.

This is a 6-month internship with a start date in mid-September 2026.
