About the role

McMaster-Carr is a leading e-commerce company that industrial customers have trusted for over 120 years. Our products help them get manufacturing lines back up quickly, keep operations running smoothly, and prototype the next generation of innovative solutions. We earn and keep that trust by offering the right products, making them easy to find, and delivering them fast, so our customers can solve problems with greater speed, precision, and ease. Our industry-leading e-commerce experience, indispensable product selection, and world-class service bring hundreds of thousands of customers to our site each day. But we're never standing still. Our curious, exceptional people are at the heart of our evolution. They turn new challenges and disruptive technologies into opportunities to refine our operations, expand our offering, and deliver a better experience for every customer. How You'll Make an Impact We're expanding our team to meet ambitious goals, and we know that great people are the key to our success. As a University Talent Partner, you'll play a critical role in shaping how we identify and evaluate early career talent. You'll thoughtfully recognize potential, understand context, and surface insights that help us make thoughtful hiring decisions. Your work will directly support our ability to build high-performing teams, refine our approach to campus recruiting, and deliver meaningful candidate experiences. You'll collaborate closely with your management team, engage with students and university partners, and bring a discerning eye to every step of the process. You'll also lead efforts to deeply understand each campus ecosystem-identifying where top talent lives, which academic programs and student organizations align with our hiring goals, and how to tailor our approach to each school's unique strengths. You'll plan and execute campus events with precision, anticipating challenges and solving them before they arise. And you'll prepare McMaster-Carr leaders to participate effectively in the recruiting process-equipping them with campus insights, guiding them through interview best practices, and helping them represent our brand with clarity and impact.
