    Description

    THE ROLE

    CTC's Talent Acquisition team is growing, and we're adding a Campus Relations & Events Associate to execute our full calendar of campus-related events.

    You'll be the person who keeps CTC's relationships with career centers, faculty, and student organizations active year-round, and who runs the full mix of events - office visits, campus info sessions, and virtual events - that put CTC in front of the right students at the right time. Like everyone on our campus team, you'll be team-first: this role isn't limited to what's listed below, and we're looking for someone who jumps in wherever the team needs a hand.

    WHAT YOU'LL DO

    University Relations & Partnerships

    • Own and grow CTC's relationships with career centers and student organizations across our target campuses - you're the familiar, trusted face they hear from consistently, not just during peak season.
    • Serve as CTC's primary point of contact for student organization partnerships and sponsorships, negotiating terms and maintaining the relationship year-round.
    • Track relationship health and engagement across schools and flag opportunities or gaps to the Campus Recruiter and Campus Program Manager.
    • Identify and help develop new partnership opportunities across target campuses - new student organizations, academic departments, or affinity groups where CTC doesn't yet have a presence.

    Event Execution

    • Coordinate and run CTC's campus events calendar - info sessions, coffee chats, trading competitions, office visits, and Super Day support - handling everything from planning logistics to day-of execution.
    • Track and manage metrics for each event (attendance, pipeline generated, conversion) and run post-event lookbacks, sharing what worked and didn't work with the team to improve future events.
    • Project-manage event logistics end-to-end: venue/vendor coordination, materials and swag, travel, and on-site staffing - partnering with the Recruiting Coordinator where scheduling overlaps and making sure every event runs without a hitch.

    WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

    • Bachelor's degree (all majors and concentrations welcome)
    • 1+ years of experience in campus recruiting, recruiting coordination, or event planning
    • A natural relationship-builder who builds credibility quickly with students, student organization leaders, and career centers
    • Highly organized with strong attention to detail; able to manage multiple schools, events, and partners simultaneously
    • A team-first mentality
    • Proficient and comfortable tracking event and partnership metrics and using data to evaluate what worked and didn't work
    • Minimal travel required
    • Experience working with an ATS, preferably Greenhouse, a plus
