You will also be involved in designing and running innovative candidate engagement events at scale and delivering on internal projects within the team to make EY stand out.

Your key responsibilities
You'll contribute to achieving Student Recruitment hiring targets by partnering with university/early career officials to build brand awareness and promote EY as a top employer of early career talent. You'll deliver bold events strategies, planning and executing innovative bespoke events, ensuring we see a clear ROI whilst also providing a great candidate experience. You'll engage with candidates through our social media channels and professional career groups. You’ll also support pipeline management & delivery, respond to candidate questions and support candidates who have started an application with us. In addition to the above, you'll provide clear and meaningful MI to help manage our pipeline and shape future strategy.

We operate a hybrid model; you will need to spend time in the office, and you will also spend up to 50% of your time at university or school events.

• Relationship-building skills – with the ability to challenge where necessary, always acting with integrity and enthusiasm
• Proven ability to work autonomously and to high standards, able to take the lead on assigned projects using knowledge to achieve quality results

Ideally, you'll also have:

• Experience of public speaking/ delivering workshops to students
• An understanding of Undergraduate and schools work experience programmes
• Experience of managing campaigns for multiple positions and building candidate pipelines
• Social media knowledge and experience
