About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior University Recruiter to help us identify and attract top-tier early career talent to join our Engineering and Design teams.

From building relationships with universities to advising on the interview processes, being a part of headcount conversations to planning events and running performance review cycles, you will help build the foundations of this program making it something that can scale and grow each year.
