• Partner with hiring managers to scope role requirements, build sourcing strategies, and set realistic timelines for each requisition.

• Maintain accurate, real-time requisition and candidate data in the applicant tracking system (e.g., Workday), and track time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, and source-of-hire metrics.

• Serve as a working member of the Talent Acquisition team, participating in weekly req review and intake meetings, workforce planning discussions, and TA process improvement initiatives.

• Balance day-to-day requisition load with seasonal campus recruiting demands, ensuring consistent output across the full year rather than only during peak campus cycles and early career program demands (i.e., Co-Op program, and rotational programs, focused on early career talent).

• Research key information and develop a project plan with timelines and deliverables to enable kickoff in October 2026.

• Manage Co-Op program, ensuring top student talent is identified and business units across the company have the opportunity to take advantage of the program.

Stakeholder Management

• Partner with hiring managers, mentors, and business leaders to align intern, Co-Op, early career, and open-requisition placements with business needs.

• Report on requisition health, campus program outcomes, and pipeline metrics to PXT and Talent Acquisition leadership on a regular cadence.
