Sr University Recruiter, Non-Tech

About the role and team

Interns and early-career talent at Uber don’t just observe—they build. As a University Recruiter, you are the architect of that first experience, finding the hungry, curious, and adaptable minds that will shape our future. This isn't a typical high-volume recruiting role; it is a high-stakes mission to bridge the digital and real worlds by identifying potential where others see only a blank resume. You will navigate the fast-paced, often ambiguous landscape of campus cycles, apprenticeship programs, and internal events, all while moving with the urgency and care that Uber’s mission demands.

The work is real, and so is the pressure. You’ll need to stay steady during peak hiring seasons, balancing the excitement of student webinars with the grit required to manage complex full-cycle pipelines. Success here means moving beyond transactional coordination to become a strategic advisor and requires both deep recruiting expertise and the ability to act as a versatile utility player, stepping into priority needs across the broader uBecome team.

What you’ll do

• Own the full-cycle recruiting process for non-techinical intern and New College Grad candidates,  creating a world-class candidate experience.
• Design and execute scalable yet tailored sourcing strategies at events, webinars, and conferences, acting as a brand ambassador.
• Navigate and cultivate successful relationships between academic institutions and internal industry groups, influencing hiring managers with data-backed insights.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with the People team and business leaders to solve logistical hurdles and unblock hiring bottlenecks in a fast-changing environment.
• Communicate complex recruitment findings and reporting to hiring teams, providing clarity and direction on university strategy and candidate trends.
• Act as a versatile utility player, jumping in to support strategic TA initiatives whenever needed with a focus on ownership and integrity.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven experience managing stakeholders and driving data-informed hiring decisions in a fast-paced, global tech environment.
