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.
We’re already profitable, growing fast, and deeply product-driven. Our unique model blends human expertise with proprietary tools to help companies hire top 1% talent at scale.
About the Role
We’re hiring a People Operations (HR) Intern, an ambitious, exceptionally smart individual who wants hands-on exposure to high-impact HR and people operations.

If you thrive on ownership, pace, precision, and clear communication, this is your opportunity to work with one of the most mission-driven teams out there.
