ARE YOU A HOSPITALITY BRAVEHEART?

JOIN US AS OUR HR INTERN.

About Odyssey

We are The Odyssey Hotel Group, Europe’s most ambitious hotel operator and the team behind many famous global hospitality names. We partner with Marriott, IHG, and Accor to develop exceptional properties across various brands, from Holiday Express to Marriott’s Autograph collection. Powered by over 700 Bravehearts and supported by Activum SG as our major shareholder, our purpose is to create wonderful stories through a passion for unique and locally inspired hotel design and attention to every detail. We achieve this through a culture of enabling and empowering our teams to be masters of the art of hospitality.

ODYSSEY CULTURE

You’ll be joining a fast-moving, ambitious, and successful team that’s shaking up the industry we love. If you thrive on responsibility, share a passion for great service, and are a natural collaborator, we’ll be a good fit. We pride ourselves on a Braveheart spirit with a collaborative mindset.

THE POSITION

Odyssey is growing and so is our workforce. Our people, the foundation of Odyssey is crucial to us, and smooth-running HR processes is the key to the optimal employee experience. Therefore, we need your support to keep our HR team up and running.

During your HR Internship, you’ll be part of the centralized HR department, which takes care of all HR tasks for the above property personnel, supports HR colleagues on properties, and sets standards, guidelines, and policies for the entire organization. As an HR Intern, together with our HR Manager and HR Advisor, you’ll support in a variety of personnel-related (administrative) tasks across the employee life cycle. You’ll be the first point of contact for our employees, meaning that you’ll answer various questions from our employees during the day. Furthermore, you’ll oversee all daily HR administration, from drafting contracts to assisting with the monthly payroll. In doing so, you’ll support the HR team but will also take on independent projects and tasks. Think about organising onboarding and social activities for our student interns or guiding employees on their first day at work. Working with people means that there are many unforeseen situations during the day, but that makes the work diverse and challenging!

In addition to your daily functions, there’s plenty of room for your own input and projects. We’re always curious to see how you get the best learning experience during your internship.

Handling internal and external HR-related inquiries or requests as first point of contact for all employees, and providing assistance where needed
Taking care of daily HR administration: assisting with drafting employee contracts and associated employee agreements, updating HR databases
Execute HR-related projects such as updating onboarding packages, writing standard operating procedures and company policies, updating training files, and creating company presentations
Taking care of the (administrative) on- and offboarding employees, and update records with new hires
Independently carrying out projects on behalf of the HR Manager or HR Advisor
