• Strong communication and relationship-management abilities.
• Strong working with data, trackers, spreadsheets, and reporting tools.
• A proactive, ownership-driven attitude with an eagerness to learn and grow.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in any discipline; 0–3 years of relevant experience in coordination, operations, HR, or placements.

Good to Have

• Prior experience in a placement, campus recruitment, or talent-operations environment.
• Familiarity with CRM, ATS, or spreadsheet-based tracking tools.
