## Job description

We are looking for a University Recruiting Leader to evolve, drive, and implement our global early career strategy across programs, branding, and engagement. This is a high-impact, highly visible leadership role that demands strategic vision, operational excellence, and creativity to attract and encourage the next generation of talent.

Work collaboratively alongside internal groups to uphold our university recruiting brand and deliver compelling storytelling and regionally relevant social and digital strategies.

Own and evolve technical conference strategy—identifying priority events, optimizing our presence, and driving measurable impact across key early talent segments. Partner closely with internal teams including Academic Relations, Developer Programs, Research, HRBPs and Marketing to align early talent recruiting initiatives with broader business priorities. Use data and insights to operate with agility—rapidly evaluating program efficiency, iterating on engagement strategies in real time, and continuously improving outcomes across all pipelines.

Serve as a thought partner to senior leadership by bringing market insights, campus trends, and innovative ideas to continuously evolve our approach.

### What we need to see

12+ years of experience in University Recruiting and Talent Acquisition, with 6+ years in a recruiting or HR leadership role. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. Shown success crafting and scaling intern and new graduate programs in sophisticated or high-growth environments with multi-event portfolios and measurable ROI. Experience developing and delivering employer branding strategies across multiple platforms.

Strong influencing and partnership skills, capable of collaborating across functions and levels. Outstanding organizational and program management experience capable of leading multiple priorities at scale.

### Ways to stand out from the crowd

Experience leading global or multi-region university recruiting programs. Background in employer branding, digital marketing, or early talent engagement campaigns. Proven success crafting innovative, high-impact intern experiences that drive conversion and brand affinity. Experience partnering with academic institutions to build long-term talent pipelines or curriculum-aligned programs. Recognized for creativity, innovation, and the ability to bring new insights to life at scale.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 247,250 USD for Level 3, and 196,000 USD - 310,500 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
