Senior Manager, Emerging Talent

ABOUT THE ROLE

Emerging Talent has changed drastically. Ramp is building it into one of the most important recruiting functions at the company: a way to meet exceptional people earlier than everyone else and turn that connection into the next generation of Ramp talent.

We are looking for a true builder to lead the full Emerging Talent function. Reporting to Ramp’s Head of Talent, you will set the strategy and lead the team responsible for the internship programme, early-career recruiting, campus and community relationships, events, candidate programming and conversion of top interns into full-time employees. You will have the backing of the executive team and a real mandate to build something category-defining.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the strategy, operating model and results for Ramp’s Emerging Talent function, from early identification through full-time conversion.

- Build a world-class internship experience, including seasonal programmes, events, programming, manager partnership and intern-to-full-time conversion.

- Find original ways to identify and attract exceptional technical and engineering talent before competitors do.

- Build high-conviction relationships with universities, student communities, technical networks and other early-talent channels.

- Partner with Engineering, Product, business leaders and the executive team on workforce plans, candidate quality and conversion outcomes.

- Design and test new programmes that create an edge, then turn what works into repeatable systems.

WHAT YOU NEED

- 5-6+ years leading an elite Emerging Talent or campus recruiting function at a top technology company.

- A clear record of building new, experimental talent programs that improved the ability to identify and attract exceptional people early.

- Strong technical and engineering early-career hiring experience.

- Proven people leadership and the ability to build, coach and raise the bar for a small, high-performing team.

- Strategic judgment alongside hands-on execution. You can set a direction, run the details and make things happen.

- Exceptional stakeholder management with senior leaders, hiring managers, university partners and candidates.

NICE-TO-HAVES

- Experience in a high-bar technical environment, including elite technology or quantitative-finance organizations.

- Experience improving intern-to-full-time conversion and using that data to shape program strategy.
