The Job

At Jenson USA, we’re passionate about bikes, the outdoors, and the people who love both. Based in Riverside, we’re a leading retailer of all things cycling — from mountain and road to e-bikes — plus a growing selection of camp and hike gear. Our corporate office and warehouse is one of a kind in the region, and many of our team members are riders and adventurers themselves. While outdoor enthusiasm isn’t a job requirement, don’t be surprised if you end up joining a trail ride or swapping campfire stories with your coworkers.

We offer a flexible, welcoming environment filled with down-to-earth people who care about what they do.

In this role, you’ll support the HR team with day-to-day operations including recruiting, onboarding, employee engagement, reporting, and general administrative support. This opportunity is a great fit for a college senior or grad student looking to kickstart their career in Human Resources.

If you're someone who’s organized, curious, and eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you. While not required, feel free to include a cover letter telling us a bit about yourself and what you’re looking for in your career.
