Depending on your interests and progress, gradually conduct initial interviews with coaching from the team.
Help keep candidates informed and supported throughout their recruitment journey.

Employer branding: help tell the stories of our Engineering and Product teams through employee content, social media, and tech events.
Campus program: develop school and university relationships, coordinate student events, and help organise internship and apprenticeship recruitment campaigns.
