  • 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
