We are seeking a highly experienced and results-oriented University Recruiting Partnership Manager to join our Global University Recruiting team. This critical role will be responsible for building, nurturing, and strategically expanding our deep relationships with a select portfolio of top-tier universities.

This is not a purely operational role; it requires a strategic mindset and an ability to translate university partnerships into tangible talent and business outcomes. The ideal candidate will serve as the primary liaison between GE Vernova and our core partner universities, ensuring our engagement is cohesive, impactful, and aligned with our executive-level talent priorities.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic University Relationship Management

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for a defined portfolio of GE Vernova's most strategic university partners.
  • Develop and execute long-term, multi-faceted engagement strategies that span talent acquisition, research collaboration, executive visibility, curriculum input, and diversity initiatives.
  • Proactively identify and cultivate relationships with key faculty, career services, deans, department heads, and university executive leadership.
  • Coordinate executive-level participation (including C-suite and VP leadership) in university events, meetings, and strategic reviews to maximize organizational impact and strengthen partnerships.

Project Leadership and Internal Alignment

  • Lead complex, high-visibility projects related to university initiatives, such as establishing new talent recruiting programs and hiring initiatives, launching specific research sponsorships, or coordinating large-scale campus events.
  • Manage internal stakeholder alignment by working closely with business leaders, functional heads, and HR partners to define talent needs and map them to university capabilities.
  • Establish clear metrics, track performance of university initiatives, and regularly report on ROI and strategic impact to executive leadership.
  • Manage budget for strategic university programs, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently to achieve maximum impact.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 7 years of professional experience with a strong emphasis on strategic relationship management, specifically focused on universities, academia, or external partnership development within a corporate or non-profit setting.
  • Proven expertise in project management, including the ability to define scope, manage complex timelines, coordinate multiple internal and external stakeholders, and drive projects to successful completion.
  • Demonstrated experience interacting with and presenting to executive-level internal stakeholders and high-level university leadership (e.g., Deans, Presidents, VPs).
  • Exceptional communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and negotiate at all levels.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Communications, Human Resources, Marketing).
  • Proven interpersonal and communication skills (oral, written and presentation)
  • Sound analytical and problem-solving skills; clear thinker
  • Change agent ability to drive and manage change across various stakeholder groups
  • Willingness and ability to travel 3-4 times per year (includes international travel)
  • Desired Characteristics

  • PMP or other relevant project management certification.
  • Experience working within the energy, technology, or industrial sector.
  • Familiarity with global university systems and talent acquisition best practices.
  • The starting base pay range for this position is $122K to $170K. The specific pay offered may be influenced by a variety of factors, including the candidate's experience, education, and skill set. This position is also eligible for a 15% bonus. This posting is expected to remain open until around November 22nd.
