Head of University Recruiting

Key Responsibilities

• Own our campus recruiting strategy — build a year-round plan for target schools, hackathons, career fairs, partnerships, and other early-talent channels, including budget, staffing, travel, and ROI
• Build Polymarket’s campus presence — create a distinctive, repeatable playbook for how we show up on campus, from event strategy and activations to candidate capture and follow-up
• Launch and run our internship program — build a structured, high-quality experience from recruiting through onboarding, programming, manager enablement, and full-time conversion
• Build the recruiting infrastructure — design scalable application, assessment, screening, and interview workflows that surface the strongest candidates and make it easy for hiring teams to engage them
• Partner with senior leaders and hiring managers across engineering, product, design, legal, finance, marketing, and other functions to plan headcount, define hiring needs, and build effective early-career pipelines

Key Requirements

• 5–10+ years of experience building or scaling campus recruiting, university talent, early-career, or similarly complex talent programs
• Track record of building systems and programs from the ground up — you’re as comfortable designing the infrastructure as you are executing against it
• Exceptional operational rigor and project management skills, with the ability to own a large budget, coordinate many moving pieces, and move quickly
• Strong executive presence and communication skills — you’re comfortable representing Polymarket externally and influencing senior stakeholders internally
• Cultural fluency and strong taste — you know how to create campus experiences that feel relevant, energetic, and distinctly Polymarket
