What are the responsibilities and job description for the Human Resources Total Rewards Intern (Summer 2025) position at Tactile Medical?
Tactile Medical is offering a Total Rewards internship opportunity for a student who is seeking to accelerate their professional experience and career trajectory in Payroll, Compensation and Benefits. Join a driven organization that is a compassionate leader in helping people living with chronic illnesses live better lives with at-home therapy devices.
In this 11-week internship program, our Total Rewards intern will join other interns to start out in our corporate headquarters campus in Minneapolis, MN for the first three days to learn from leaders across the entire organization. Our leaders will walk through how each of Tactile's collaborative teams identify patients, provide them with care, and ensure their lives are improved. We will provide an exclusively transparent view on how we at Tactile embrace change by proactively innovating our products, processes, and challenge each other.
After the first three days on campus, the Total Rewards intern is paired with a mentor on the Total Rewards team to dive into their internship focus. You will be given an authentic experience by working through real scenarios and contributing to meaningful projects. On the final day, all our interns will return to campus to present their internship accomplishments and celebrate on how they made a direct impact on helping people live a better quality of life.
