HR Intern @ Hotel Indigo

At Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown
, people are at the heart of everything we do, and our HR team plays a big role in shaping that experience. We are looking for an enthusiastic and curious HR Intern who is eager to learn how people operations work behind the scenes in a lifestyle hotel. If you enjoy working with people, staying organized, and being part of a team that cares about culture as much as compliance, this internship is a great place to start.

A little curiosity can take you anywhere. So, at Hotel Indigo, we do more than satisfy our guests' curiosity, we inspire them. Our passionate colleagues help create memorable and unique experiences for our guests; in a place truly connected to the local neighbourhood, infused with intriguing design and local flavours. Where every day brings new discoveries, fresh experiences, and unexpected ideas.

The hotel boasts 269 tastefully decorated rooms, each thoughtfully designed to reflect the hotel's neighbourhood story; the story of Dubai Creek. To learn and experience how we keep things running smoothly, we’re searching for a proactive and passionate intern for our Human Resources Department.

As our HR Intern, you will support the HR team with day to day administrative and people related tasks while gaining hands on exposure to core HR functions. You will assist with onboarding activities, help maintain employee records and personnel files, and support attendance, leave tracking, and basic payroll coordination. You will also assist with internal communications, training coordination, and employee engagement activities, giving you insight into how HR supports both people and performance.

You will have opportunities to get involved in employee events, wellbeing initiatives, and team activities, as well as support simple creative tasks such as preparing posters, notices, or visual content using tools like Canva. This role offers a well rounded view of HR in hospitality, from administration and compliance to culture and connection.

We are looking for a student or recent graduate in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field who is eager to learn and take initiative. You should be organized, detail oriented, and comfortable handling confidential information. A positive attitude, good communication skills, and a genuine interest in people and teamwork are essential. Previous internship experience is a plus, but not required.

At IHG, we celebrate individuality and believe in creating a workplace where you can truly be yourself. When you join us, you’re not just stepping into a job; you’re becoming part of a global family that values your unique perspective.

We offer more than just a competitive salary. You’ll enjoy great benefits, world-class training, and plenty of opportunities to grow and shine. We’re all about creating inclusive, supportive teams where everyone feels welcome and empowered to thrive.

So bring your passion, your personality and your ambition; we’ll give you the space and support to grow your career, your way. At IHG, there’s always room to be you.
