The opportunity

  • Run the full intern lifecycle from sourcing and offers through onboarding,: relocation, mid-point reviews, final presentations, and conversion decisions

  • Build and own the target school strategy and relationships with University of: Nevada, Reno (UNR), Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC), Clemson University, and the national engineering programs that feed our sites, including campus and virtual recruiting events

  • Train intern managers on scoping projects, giving feedback, and making: conversion calls, and run calibration so intern performance and offer decisions are consistent across sites

  • Design and deliver the summer program, including onboarding, site tours,: executive speaker series, cohort projects, and the final showcase, and act on intern and manager feedback

  • Own program metrics including offer acceptance, conversion rate, school: yield, cost per hire, and retention of converted interns, and report on program health to Talent Acquisition and People leadership

What they're looking for

  • Partner with Legal on work authorization guidelines for interns, with HR: Operations on Greenhouse and Workday workflows, and with Communications on student-facing employer brand content, and extend the program into co-op and new-grad tracks
  • Experience owning an internship or early-careers program end to end, ideally: at a company that hires engineers into manufacturing, hardware, energy, automotive, or industrial environments
  • Track record of growing or rebuilding a program rather than maintaining one
  • Comfortable owning a budget and defending it with data
