Workplace & People Operations - Intern

Join Choco, where we build and own solutions that reshape a broken food system.

The global food supply chain is inefficient by design. Waste is high, margins are thin, and most distributor order processes are done over the phone, tracked across broad spreadsheets, and based on intuition rather than strong data.

At Choco, we’re changing that. We build software used daily by food distributors and their customers to run their business. It automates orders, reduces errors, and helps operations run faster and more reliably. Because it’s embedded in daily operations, our SaaS platform has immediate, real-world impact, on efficiency, margins, and how businesses run day to day.

About the role

As our Workplace & People Operations Intern , you will support the daily running of our Berlin office while gaining hands-on experience across core People Operations processes.

You will help coordinate the practical details that enable employees to work effectively, from office operations and IT requests to onboarding, employee documentation and internal events.

This is a primarily onsite role in our Berlin office.

What you’ll do

Workplace operations

• Support the daily operation of the Berlin office, ensuring that workspaces, meeting rooms and shared areas are organized and ready for use.

• Coordinate routine requests with building management, external vendors and service providers.

• Manage office supplies, deliveries, access cards and other workplace-related requests.

• Coordinate with IT on equipment preparation, access requests, technical issues and the return of devices.

• Support workplace-related invoices, purchase requests and administrative records.

• Help organize office events, team activities and employee initiatives.

• Gather employee feedback and contribute ideas for improving the workplace experience.

People Operations

• Support employee onboarding and offboarding, including documentation, equipment, system access and first-day preparation.

• Assist with maintaining accurate employee records and updating information in our People systems.

• Prepare routine employee documents and administrative materials for review by the People team.

• Respond to straightforward employee questions and direct more complex or sensitive topics to the appropriate People team member.

• Support recurring People processes and internal projects.

• Help document and improve Workplace and People Operations processes.

What we’re looking for

• You are currently studying or have recently completed studies in human resources, business administration, hospitality, office management or a related field.

• You are interested in developing practical experience across both Workplace and People Operations.

• You are organized, dependable and comfortable coordinating several tasks and stakeholders at the same time.

• You communicate clearly and follow through on commitments.

• You handle employee information with care, discretion and confidentiality.

• You are comfortable working with digital tools and learning new systems.

• You have strong English communication skills. German language skills are a strong advantage when coordinating with local vendors and service providers.

• You can work primarily onsite in Berlin for 30 hours per week.

• You have the right to work in Germany for the duration of the internship.

What you get

• Work on digitalizing core operating systems for food distributors, automating orders, sales and payments in a system that still largely runs on calls and spreadsheets.

• Work with an AI product with proven product–market fit, already embedded in distributor workflows and directly affecting order accuracy, speed, and margins.

• Join a global team across 6 countries and 40+ nationalities, building a company that has raised $300M+ and reached unicorn status (~$1.2B valuation) with the ambition to define this category end-to-end.

• In return, you get real ownership, equity, and the support to do your best work, including competitive compensation, health and wellbeing support, and long-term benefits like a sabbatical (all localized by office).

• Collaborate with people who want to own outcomes in a messy, real-world system and make it work at scale.

If you want to work on real problems, take ownership, and raise the bar, we should talk.
