Collaborate with industry-specific and regional student and alumni organizations to support employer outreach initiatives. Utilize innovative methods to identify leads through social media, alumni networks, and student referrals. Proactively reach out to corporate representatives to establish connections on behalf of Chicago Booth. Travel domestically (approximately 10-15%) to engage with corporate partners. Foster and maintain positive relationships with internal departments and corporate contacts, promoting employer development initiatives. Effectively market resulting employment opportunities to the relevant Booth constituencies. Conceptualize, plan, and execute events that enhance the Chicago Booth brand within targeted industries and regions. Create communication materials, including social media content, blog posts, and presentations, to inform students and alumni about the relationship-building efforts undertaken on their behalf. Manage daily administrative tasks such as data entry, calendar organization, and travel arrangements. Identify and cultivate employer relationships and job opportunities within designated industry sectors, employing best practices to attract new companies to participate in recruitment activities.
