Summer Intern, Total Rewards

The Washington Post
Washington, DC Intern
POSTED ON 2/6/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/14/2025
Job Description

In this position, you will assist HR's Total Rewards team with gathering and organizing information to facilitate our automation efforts. Specific responsibilities may include:

  • Gathering, cataloging, and formatting job descriptions
  • Testing system configuration and integrations
  • Creating and maintaining frequently asked questions (FAQ) documents
  • Document processes and procedures

Interns are paid hourly and are expected to work between 35 and 40 hours per week.

Our internship program is based out of our D.C. office, so you are expected to be onsite for the summer and follow The Washington Post’s in-person work policy. We do not provide housing but can suggest options upon request. You must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program at the time of submitting this application. We encourage you to apply if you are currently a student, regardless of your background or experience with engineering and/or journalism.

Foreign nationals can apply for internships. All work samples must be submitted in English. If selected, the necessary documentation for evidence of U.S. work authorization must be provided. The Post is unable to provide visa sponsorship for internships. If you have any questions, please reach out to life@washpost.com

We will review all applications and invite a subset of applicants to the next process, which includes live coding and interviews with team leads.

Our program provides a meaningful learning experience for employees who support The Washington Post's mission. Our interns work directly with our full-time team members on real projects.

Additionally, you'll be invited to exclusive events and lunch seminars from leaders across the company.

This internship is not a guarantee of a job at The Post. We have hired from our internship classes in the past, and we hope to continue this trend in the coming years. Note our internship program is not a binding contract — you can take a full-time job elsewhere or from your (or another!) team at The Post before the internship ends.

The Post strives to provide its readers with high-quality, trustworthy news and information while constantly innovating. That mission is best served by a diverse, multi-generational workforce with varied life experiences and perspectives. All cultures and backgrounds are welcomed.

The innovation doesn’t end in the Newsroom – dozens of teams power The Washington Post. We are now hiring the next innovator – how will you Impact Tomorrow?
