People Operations Intern

Overview

GoodParty.org is looking for a detail-oriented People Operations Intern with previous relevant experience to join our operations team. Your role will be critical in assisting our organization’s hiring, administrative, and people operations initiatives to grow GoodParty.org’s movement in this critical election year. You’ll be involved in the day to day of an early stage startup and have multiple opportunities for mentorship and growth through interactions with senior leadership. If you want to gain valuable experience while making a difference, this opportunity is for you.  

We’re especially interested in applicants who are current college seniors or recent graduates with past experience in a hiring, HR, or people operations internship, since this has potential to convert to full-time upon graduation. 

About GoodParty.org:

GoodParty.org is the movement to make people matter more than money in our democracy. We’re building free tech and a movement to end America's two-party political dysfunction. 

Americans are losing faith in democracy – especially young people. The rigged, two party system has turned Independent into a dirty word to make voters trapped between voting for the lesser of two evils or wasting their vote on an alternative. In fact, a majority of eligible voters (over 130M Americans), including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans, nor Democrats represent them…but they keep getting elected! Whether you’re concerned about the climate, privacy, inequality, or our individual freedoms, solutions are held back by the dark doom-loop of dysfunctional partisan politics. 

With over 500,000 elected offices in the United States, GoodParty.org is empowering a grassroots revolution to take back our communities from career politicians. We help real people run winning local and state level campaigns.

GoodParty.org’s solution is to train people to run for office plus support candidates who take our pledge with cutting-edge tech tools to win, all without selling out to the Democrats, Republicans, big money, or special interests. Our free AI Campaign Manager and team with 50+ years of campaign experience make running, winning and serving as an independent possible.

We are building a community to end the corrupt two party system and then harnessing that community’s collective power to elect the most promising independents around the country. By leveraging social media and creators, we’re making our mission to make people matter more than money mainstream.

GoodParty.org is founded by serial entrepreneur, Farhad Mohit, with over $1B in exits — Flipagram (now TikTok), Shopzilla, and BizRate.   

Why you should work at GoodParty.org:

• Join us in solving the biggest problem of our time – fixing our democracy – so all other problems can be solved
• We’re a Public Benefit Corporation that prioritizes social impact over making money
• Work where and how you like, on a fully remote team spread across the country
• Join a passionate team with diverse political views focused on one mission
• We’re fully funded for our mission. No stressing over whether the next round of funding will come through. Focus on making an impact. That’s what matters here.

What you’ll do: 

• Be the backbone of our hiring efforts, schedule interviews with job candidates, assist in keeping our pipeline seamless in our Applicant Tracking System (Lever/Ashby) to ensure a seamless candidate experience.
• Provide support for People Operations activities, including day to day administrative and logistics tasks.
• Support the growth of GoodParty.org’s team by supporting onboarding and role success across our Mobilization, Product, Marketing, and Operations teams.

• You’re known amongst your friends for your superior organization & project management skills. You can’t help but make sure everything’s well arranged when you’ve got plans or a trip coming up. You catch the details others miss.
• You’re a timely communicator - emailing, coordinating, and scheduling with others energizes you rather than drains you.
