People Operations Intern

What we’re building

The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years. Until now.

Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry. We're rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles. And we're already executing. We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology. We’re now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon. Now we’re extending our platform to commercial applications, starting with tugs, ferries, and defense, with years worth of signed contracts and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.

The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous. The marine industry is going electric and Arc is building the platform that powers it

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who’s fired up by our mission and ready to build. You’ll thrive here if you adapt quickly, take ownership, and care about the details. 

You will join our People team as a summer intern from June 14th-August 20th 2027. You will work from our headquarters in Torrance, CA. Given that we’re a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

What You'll Do

• Supporting day-to-day operations of the People team and contributing to broader People programs
• Coordinating and executing process improvement efforts to streamline workflows, such as organizing shared files and team resources so information is accurate and easy to find
• Developing training content and managing course assignments and completion tracking in EasyLlama
• Auditing employee records and internal systems for missing, outdated, or inconsistent data, and correcting issues so our records stay clean and reliable
• Supporting payroll by tracking employee changes, auditing timecards for wage and hour compliance, and coordinating timely manager approvals
• Preparing compliance paperwork for review, including state disability and family leave forms, wage garnishment orders, and employment verifications, and tracking deadlines through resolution
• Executing planning and logistics for the company retreat, from vendor coordination and travel to agenda and attendee communications
• Helping run company engagement efforts, such as scheduling and organizing new-hire lunches with our co-founders and maintaining our employee recognition program
• Pitching in wherever needed — this is a startup, after all
