As the Career Services & Employer Partnerships Specialist , you will serve as the critical bridge between ambitious, qualified health & sciences graduates and hiring organizations seeking talent. Rather than taking a passive advisory approach, you will operate as an active talent matchmaker: hunting for open roles, pitching qualified candidates directly to hiring managers, and building sustainable employer partnerships.

• Talent Pitching: Act as a recruiter and advocate by directly matching and pitching qualified alumni candidates to hiring managers to secure interviews.

• Industry Insights: Stay current on health and sciences hiring trends to provide actionable market intelligence to job seekers.

2. Alumni Engagement & Multi-Channel Outreach

• Proactive Campaign Execution: Conduct high-energy, multi-channel outreach campaigns via email, phone, and text message to drive graduate participation in Career Services.

• Pipeline Management: Track and maintain an active pipeline of job-seeking alumni, re-engaging them consistently to understand their evolving career goals and employment status.

• Metric Tracking: Document all touchpoints, outreach metrics, and placement milestones in the CRM.

3. 1:1 Virtual Career Coaching

• Targeted Coaching: Deliver impactful 30-minute 1:1 virtual coaching sessions for alumni of a specialized health & sciences university.

• Core Topics: Guide alumni across key professional development topics, including LinkedIn optimization, resume writing, targeted networking, interview strategy, personal branding/digital visibility, navigating imposter syndrome, and entrepreneurship.

Qualifications & Requirements

Minimum Requirements:

• Experience: 2+ years of direct experience in university employer relations, higher education career services, workforce development, or technical/healthcare recruitment.

• Coaching Credentials: Active pursuit or completion of a recognized career coaching certification (e.g., ICF, PARWCC, Lumia, The Academies, Coach U, or equivalent).

• Tech Stack: Hands-on proficiency with Handshake , HubSpot (or comparable CRM systems), and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Meet).

• Communication & Sales Mindset: Exceptional written, verbal, and phone/text communication skills with a comfortable, high-energy approach to cold outreach and candidate representation.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• High Engagement Rates: Successfully converting cold alumni outreach into active, ongoing 1:1 coaching relationships.

• High Value Employer Engagement: Building relationships with high-value employers, primarily large healthcare systems and national corporations.

• Coaching Excellence: Consistently delivering actionable, high-value career strategy plans that move alumni forward in their job search.

• Data Integrity: Maintaining real-time accuracy in HubSpot, ensuring seamless record-keeping for engagement histories and placement pipelines.
