CRB is a privately held company with a rich history of serving clients throughout the world, consistently striving for the highest standard of technical knowledge, creativity and execution.

The Early Career Program Manager is a key member of CRB's Talent Acquisition team, responsible for building out and scaling CRB's intern and early career program. This role is the connective tissue between students, business leaders, hiring managers, and university relationships — ensuring that every early career hire receives an exceptional, consistent, and meaningful experience from offer acceptance through their first year at CRB. 

This position requires a proactive communicator who thrives on relationship-building, is comfortable engaging with executive leadership and students alike, and brings disciplined program management to a fast-moving, people-focused environment. Reporting to the Talent Acquisition Manager, this role will mentor a Recruiter, providing support on tactical recruiting responsibilities such as intern and new grad phone screens, sourcing, and candidate pipeline coordination, while also partnering on training and cross-functional projects. The successful candidate will play a central role in shaping CRB's early careers pipeline as a primary DEI lever and long-term workforce development strategy, ensuring early career initiatives are aligned to broader Talent Acquisition goals, metrics, and regional hiring strategies.
