## About the role

As Talent Programs Manager, you will own Modal's talent events, our intern program, and our presence at career fairs, end-to-end. This is a build-from-the-ground-up role for someone who wants full ownership rather than an existing playbook to execute. You'll work directly with recruiters, hiring managers, and marketing to make sure every program ladders up to real hiring outcomes, and you'll be the person who makes candidates' and interns' first experience of Modal a great one.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years running recruiting/talent programs, events, or university relations, with a track record of owning a program end-to-end including budget and vendors
- High influence, low ego: you build relationships easily across recruiting, hiring managers, and marketing, and share credit freely
- Strong project management skills, comfortable juggling multiple concurrent events and timelines without dropping details
- Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable representing Modal externally
- Someone who takes ownership seriously: you drive programs to completion and build structures that let them scale
- Based in or willing to relocate to NYC, in-office
