<h3><strong>About the team</strong></h3>

<p>Early careers is a critical part of Stripe’s long-term talent strategy. The University Recruiting team helps shape Stripe we become by building the systems, programs, and hiring partnerships that bring exceptional interns, apprentices, and new graduates to Stripe.</p>

<p>As University Recruiting Manager, you will lead and develop a team of University Recruiters while owning the strategy and delivery of intern and new graduate hiring across Stripe.

<h2><strong>What you’ll do</strong></h2>

<p>You will bring strategic judgment, a builder’s mindset, and a deep commitment to craft. You will balance the operational rigor required to deliver at scale with the creativity to design programs and experiences that are clear, useful, and memorable. You will use data to understand what is working, where we are falling short, and what needs to change. And you will build credibility with leaders by making complex recruiting challenges easier to understand and act on.</p>

<li>Raise the bar for how University Recruiting works at Stripe by bringing rigor, care, and a strong point of view to both the strategy and the details.</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>Who you are</strong></p>
