Talent and People Operations Internship

We grow food. And people.

xFarm Technologies was born in the field — literally. Created by farmers for farmers, we are an independent tech company building the most comprehensive platform for the digitalisation of the agri-food sector. Today, 600,000+ farms across 16 million hectares in more than 100 countries rely on us every day to manage their business more efficiently and sustainably. Our platform is built around five pillars: Farm Management, Agronomy, Precision Farming, Connectivity, and Sustainability.

Behind every great tech company, there is a great People team. We are looking for a People & Organization Intern to join our P&O team in Milan and help us build the HR function of a fast-growing, purpose-driven, global agritech company.

This is not a coffee-and-photocopies internship.

You will be hands-on from day one, working alongside a small, highly skilled team that runs the full spectrum of HR — from recruiting top talent globally to shaping how the company is organised and how its people thrive. We call this a Full-stack HR model : instead of being siloed in one area, you will get real exposure to all the key domains of a modern People function.

If you are passionate about people, curious about tech, and ready to learn fast in a real-world environment — this is where you start your HR career.
