We’re looking for a seasonal University Relations to own our early career hiring and summer intern program end to end. This is a hands-on, build-oriented role for someone who has run a university program before and can operate independently - recruiting the class, standing up the program, and delivering an intern experience that converts top talent into full-time hires.

This is a fixed term role with the potential to convert to a permanent position based on business need and performance. 

What You’ll Do

Campus Recruiting

• Own full-cycle early career recruiting for intern and new grad roles across tech and non-tech functions.
• Build and execute the campus strategy - school targeting and partnerships.
• Develop relationships with university career centers, faculty, and student groups at target schools
• Manage high-volume applicant review, screening, and interview coordination against a compressed campus timeline
• Maintain accurate candidate records and reporting in the ATS (Greenhouse or equivalent)
• Design and run the summer intern programs
• Serve as the primary point of contact for interns throughout the summer, troubleshooting issues and escalating where needed
• Build and run the mid- and end-of-summer evaluation process, including conversion recommendations
• Track and report on program metrics - pipeline health, offer acceptance, intern satisfaction, and conversion rates
• Document the program so it can be run and scaled by the team in future cycles

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of university relations, early career recruiting, or intern program management experience
• Demonstrated experience building or significantly scaling a university program, not just executing an existing one
• Full-cycle recruiting experience with the ability to manage high applicant volume against campus timelines
• Strong program management skills - able to run multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines simultaneously
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with students, hiring managers, and senior stakeholders
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and building process where none exists
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with HR, Legal, and Immigration on early career hiring logistics
• Familiarity with ATS platforms (Greenhouse preferred) and campus recruiting tools
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth, or startup environment is a plus

Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components, such as onsite interviews or Launching into Better: LIVE—a multi-day cultural immersion in New York City for full-time, non-seasonal hires. These sessions are designed to build connection and bring our culture to life, though specific travel and participation requirements will be confirmed based on your role and location. Your recruiter will provide clear guidance at each stage of the process.
