CAMPUS RECRUITING MANAGER JOB DESCRIPTION

Talent acquisition leaders at financial services firms and technology companies depend on early career pipelines to sustain analyst rotational programs and meet OFCCP diversity compliance requirements. The Campus Recruiting Manager answers to those pressures directly. When university relationships go unmaintained, and pipeline data goes untracked, conversion rates from intern to full-time fall and brand visibility at target schools erodes. This role owns the full campus strategy: which schools receive investment, how diversity initiatives translate into sourcing decisions, and what the hiring plan commits to each business unit.

The mandate of the Campus Recruiting Manager is to design and execute a data-informed university recruitment strategy that delivers a measurable pipeline of intern and entry-level talent aligned to organizational workforce goals. Working across business units and reporting to Talent Acquisition leadership, this manager oversees school partnerships, recruiter teams, and rotational program logistics from initial campus engagement through analyst deployment.

Career Impact: Owning campus strategy at this scope, including MBA-track and analyst rotational programs, builds recognized expertise in early talent acquisition that translates directly to senior TA leadership roles in competitive corporate markets.

Business Impact: The intern and analyst cohorts this role fills become the firm's next generation of full-time contributors; pipeline shortfalls or poor conversion rates surface immediately in workforce planning outcomes across business units.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to DEI program design, OFCCP compliance frameworks, and global campus operations creates a credential set that commands relevance across financial services and technology recruiting functions at scale.
