• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work with executive leadership, hiring managers, and the Talent Team to understand the company's hiring needs and align program goals.
• University Partnerships: Build and maintain relationships with key university partners to attract top talent and promote Affirm as an employer of choice. Additionally, work on projects and design and manage events that brand Affirm's university program.
• Program Development: Create engaging programs that appeal to early career professionals who are passionate about our mission and making a positive impact in fintech.
• Talent Brand Projects: Collaborate with the Talent Brand Manager on additional projects as needed, contributing to the overall branding and reputation of Affirm's early career programs.
