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.

  • 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.
