You will work cross-functionally to align university strategies with GE Vernova’s global business needs.

Requirements

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to navigate diverse institutional cultures.

• Partner with university recruiters to track hiring metrics, ensure high-quality candidate flow, and meet regional hiring targets.
• Build and lead a "GE Vernova Campus Team" for each university. This involves recruiting, training, and managing internal employees of various levels—including senior executives serving as University Champions—to drive brand advocacy and recruitment success.
• Own the regional university budget, including forecasting, tracking spend, and ensuring a strong ROI on partnership investments.
• Own all branding needs (booths, swag, toolkits) to ensure successful recruiting experiences in the region.
