• Familiarity with content management systems such as SharePoint or Confluence
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

Desirable

• Astera Labs is looking for a motivated HR Systems & Program Management Intern to help bring the Manager Playbook to life on our employee-facing HR Hub portal
• As a leader in AI infrastructure connectivity, we're scaling rapidly — and our People team is building the systems and tools that support 600+ employees worldwide
• This is a hands-on, high-impact internship at the intersection of HR and technology
• You'll work directly with the HR and IT teams to coordinate the integration of the Manager Playbook into our employee portal, support the technical handoff of our HR Hub prototype, and help establish the content workflows that keep it running after launch
• This isn't a passive support role — you'll own workstreams, drive coordination, and see your work go live
• Track milestones, action items, and dependencies across HR and IT workstreams for the Manager Playbook portal launch
• Prepare status updates and meeting materials for HR leadership
• Coordinate between HR content owners and the IT portal team to keep the project on schedule
• Identify blockers early and flag them to the right stakeholders
• Engage with regional HR stakeholders (APAC, EMEA, Americas) to ensure the portal and playbook content reflects global needs and local nuances
• Systems & Technical Support
• Support the technical handoff of the HR Hub HTML prototype to the IT portal team
• Help validate that the Manager Playbook content is correctly structured and surfaced within the portal
• Assist with testing the audience toggle (employee vs. manager views) and verifying all links and integrations are functional (Darwinbox, ADP, SharePoint, Navex)
• Help document the content management process so HR can update the portal independently post-launch
• Documentation & Governance
• Draft process documentation for how HR content will be maintained and updated over time
• Support the creation of a lightweight QA checklist for content changes
• Assist with go-live communications planning in partnership with HR and IT
