BR-2405 Total Rewards and Business Partner Graduate Intern

Overview

WWF Overview

For 60 years, WWF has worked to help people and nature thrive. As one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, WWF works in more than 100 countries, connecting cutting-edge conservation science with the collective power of our partners in the field – more than one million supporters in the United States and five million globally, as well as partnerships with communities, companies, and governments.

Our vision for diversity, equity and inclusion at WWF is an organization as diverse as the world we protect; where the richness of all our unique views, experiences, and backgrounds combines to create the most sustainable and inclusive conservation outcomes possible — bringing the greatest benefit to the planet and every person who lives on it.

Across the many cultures and individuals that represent WWF, we are unified by one mission, one brand, and one common set of values : Courage, Respect, Integrity and Collaboration.

BRIDGE – Building Relationships, Inclusivity, Diversity, Growth, and Excellence

WWF’s diversity-focused internship program, BRIDGE, aims to recruit professionals early in their careers who bring fresh thinking and innovation to the environmental and conservation sector and are well positioned to develop into the next generation of leaders. Our mission is to increase exposure of students from underrepresented populations to conservation and environmental careers, provide professional development opportunities, reduce the barriers to attracting a diverse pool of internship candidates, and develop a pipeline for future WWF hires from underrepresented populations.

Position Summary

This position will give an intern the opportunity to support two teams within the People & Culture department : Total Rewards (Compensation & Benefits) and Business Partners (PCBP).

For one portion of the internship, the person will partner with the total rewards team to help evaluate and enhance a comprehensive total rewards package for WWF staff including data driven compensation decisions, rewards and recognition programs, and health and well-being. The projects for this role will focus on strengthening WWF’s employee experience and we look forward to attracting an intern who will be able to be innovating in suggesting, creating and implementing new ideas to WWF.

Additionally, the intern will support the PCBP team in fulfilling projects, which do not come with step-by-step instructions. On the contrary, these assignments will be trying to respond to a very specific problem or a situation that needs to be solved. To be successful the individual needs to be creative, a good team player and a problem solver, and action oriented. The individual should know how to navigate the grey areas, and succeed by finding a way where there was not one before.
