Employment details

• Location: Gurugram [Haryana] [India]

About the employer

• Graviton Research Capital is a global quantitative trading and investment firm driven by technology, mathematics and rigorous problem-solving.
• We bring together exceptional talent across quantitative research, software engineering and technology to solve some of the most challenging problems in the industry.
• Our university talent ecosystem is one of the most important engines for building Graviton's future - and one of the most operationally demanding to run well.
• The Role : We are looking for a campus talent professional who can both think in systems and execute in detail - someone who can shape how Graviton identifies, engages, assesses and converts exceptional early-career talent, and who is equally comfortable owning the on-the-ground execution that makes a hiring cycle run without friction.
• Depending on experience, this role can be scoped as a hands-on execution owner running the campus hiring engine end-to-end, or as a strategic owner architecting the assessment frameworks, university strategy and program design that the engine runs on - in both cases, you will partner closely with Quant and Tech leaders and be accountable for the full lifecycle: university outreach, assessments, internships, PPO conversion and onboarding.
• What You Will Own Campus Talent Strategy & Ecosystem Building Build and maintain relationships with priority institutions (IITs, IIITs, BITS and relevant global universities), placement offices, faculty and student communities.
• Drive year-round engagement - events, technical talks and competitions - to strengthen Graviton's employer brand outside peak hiring windows.
• Assessment & Selection Coordinate (or design and standardize, at senior levels) rigorous selection frameworks in partnership with Tech and Quant teams - scheduling assessments, allocating panels, driving timely feedback, and building interviewer calibration mechanisms to keep evaluation objective and consistent.
• Internships & PPO Conversion Own the operational lifecycle of internship programs: onboarding, logistics, engagement tracking and performance milestones.
• Manage the transition from internship to PPO/FTE with clear communication, decision timelines and (at senior levels) program design that maximizes conversion of high-performing interns.
• Operations & Candidate Experience Be the primary point of contact for candidates, delivering a high-touch experience with transparent timelines from first contact through onboarding.
• Own budget tracking, vendor relationships, venue booking, travel and infrastructure for on-ground and virtual events.
• Build and maintain robust SOPs and checklists for scalable, repeatable execution.
• Data, Reporting & Leadership Maintain real-time hiring metrics, trackers and dashboards (funnel conversions, offer acceptance, joining rates) and use them to guide decisions and inform leadership.
• At senior levels: act as a strategic partner to executive leadership and mentor the broader campus talent team.
• What Success Looks Like Campus hiring cycles run predictably, with zero operational friction and complete data transparency.
• Candidates, interviewers and university stakeholders receive an exceptional, high-touch experience.
• Selection frameworks consistently identify top-tier quantitative and technical talent.
• Internship and PPO programs serve as Graviton's primary pipeline for high-performing full-time hires.
• What We Are Looking For 6-12 years of experience in campus recruitment, university relations, early-career programs, or program management, ideally within a highly selective technical or quantitative talent environment Proven experience managing (or architecting) end-to-end campus hiring campaigns across multiple universities simultaneously.
• Strong project management skills, high attention to detail and operational discipline; at senior levels, demonstrated experience in assessment design, interview calibration and multi-year strategy building.
• Proficiency with recruitment data, tracking systems and reporting dashboards, with an analytical, decision-driven mindset.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills - able to build trusted relationships with candidates, faculty, university placement teams and internal leadership.
• Ability to operate independently, solve problems quickly and take complete ownership of outcomes.
• Why This Role Matters: Great campus hiring is won in the details and built on strategy.
• From the first student touchpoint to assessment design, internship execution and final conversion, every interaction shapes how top talent views Graviton.
• You will help build - and run - a world-class university hiring engine that operates with speed, precision and rigor.
