Become a Recruitment Manager

Recruitment Managers (RMs) grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity by compelling top leaders to join the Teach For America corps. As a Recruitment Manager, you will execute visions and lead strategic plans for campaigns, identify and cultivate diverse top prospects, and inspire a broad network of constituents to build a large, diverse, and talented corps. Some of the role responsibilities can include:

• Set and define a strategy to achieve goals tailored to college or professional markets.
• Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders on campuses, within partner organizations, and/or within the professional community to maximize outreach efforts in recruitment campaigns and promote a stronger organizational brand.
• Work across teams to plan, execute, and improve strategy, using data to identify gaps, patterns, and opportunities within campaigns and develop solutions to achieve outcomes.
• Consistently leverage results from successes and failures that are conclusive, specific, and evidence-based to make pivots for campaigns and to inform broader innovation and strategy.
