Why East Harbor Financial?

East Harbor Financial is a private credit firm specializing in high-yield, asset-backed financing across real estate, construction, transportation, and luxury assets. With over 30 years of combined expertise and over $60 million in assets under management, we're a small, fast-moving team where every person makes an impact. As an intern here you'll be in the room, learning how a growing financial firm operates from the inside.

About the Role

We're hiring a Human Resources Intern to support our team with the day-to-day work that keeps our people operations running smoothly. This is a hands-on role built for someone who wants real experience in HR — not busy work. You'll be involved in recruiting, onboarding, employee support, and compliance, working directly alongside leadership.

This is a great fit if you're looking to build a career in human resources, people operations, or business administration and want to see how HR works at a growing firm where you can make a real contribution.

What a Typical Week Looks Like

• Posting job openings, screening resumes, and coordinating interviews with candidates and hiring managers
• Organizing and maintaining employee files, onboarding documents, and HR records
• Drafting and proofreading internal communications, offer letters, and HR correspondence
• Supporting benefits enrollment, payroll processing, and PTO tracking
• Researching HR best practices and helping implement process improvements
• Handling sensitive employee information with discretion and professionalism
• Assisting with compliance tasks such as I-9 verification and policy updates

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and ability to stay organized across multiple tasks
• Comfortable handling confidential and sensitive information
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• Available to work in-office in Miami, FL for ~20 hours per week

Nice to Have:

• Prior office, customer-facing, or administrative experience
• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (e.g., JazzHR, Greenhouse)
• Interest in employment law, recruiting, or people operations
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus

What You'll Gain

• Direct mentorship from leadership at a growing financial services firm
• Real experience across the full HR lifecycle - recruiting, onboarding, compliance, and employee relations
• A professional reference and portfolio of work you actually did, not just observed
• Exposure to how HR supports business operations in a fast-paced, small-team environment

Please only apply if you meet the required qualifications listed above. We review every application and want to make sure this is the right fit for both sides.
