Sr University Recruiter, Non-Tech

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. This isn't a typical high-volume recruiting role; it is a high-stakes mission to bridge the digital and real worlds by identifying potential where others see only a blank resume. You will navigate the fast-paced, often ambiguous landscape of campus cycles, apprenticeship programs, and internal events, all while moving with the urgency and care that Uber’s mission demands.

The work is real, and so is the pressure. You’ll need to stay steady during peak hiring seasons, balancing the excitement of student webinars with the grit required to manage complex full-cycle pipelines. Success here means moving beyond transactional coordination to become a strategic advisor and requires both deep recruiting expertise and the ability to act as a versatile utility player, stepping into priority needs across the broader uBecome team.
