Responsibilities

  • Manage and develop a team of recruiters supporting RMS hiring across production, manufacturing engineering, quality, and supply chain functions
  • Own end-to-end hiring strategy for RMS: forecast demand with production leaders, build pipelines, and report progress with clear, data-backed communication
  • Use recruiting data and funnel metrics to identify bottlenecks, diagnose root causes, and drive process improvements—acting on what the data shows rather than waiting for direction
  • Set and maintain a high performance bar for the recruiting team: define clear expectations around sourcing activity, pipeline velocity, interview quality, and offer-acceptance rates
  • Act as a subject matter expert in sourcing techniques and tools—including Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, referral programs, and SOBO campaigns—and coach your team to use them effectively
  • Conduct interviews and calibrate hiring manager expectations, demonstrating strong interview-to-offer conversion through disciplined candidate evaluation
  • Build talent maps and market intelligence specific to the RMS talent landscape (propulsion, energetics, pyrotechnics, production operations) to inform proactive engagement strategies
  • Drive diverse talent into the organization while ensuring a consistently excellent candidate experience at every touchpoint
  • Partner cross-functionally with HR, compensation, and workforce planning to align recruiting efforts with headcount plans, offer competitiveness, and retention goals
  • Represent Anduril’s brand and recruiting function with the highest level of professionalism—internally with senior stakeholders and externally with candidates and partners

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of high-volume talent acquisition experience evaluating and hiring top-tier technical talent
  • 8+ years partnering with senior leaders and stakeholders—reporting on progress, advising on strategy, and using data to influence hiring decisions
  • 5+ years managing or mentoring a team of recruiters with accountability for time-sensitive, high-volume pipelines
  • Demonstrated track record of using recruiting analytics to initiate and sustain process improvements—not just reporting metrics but acting on them
  • Experience recruiting in an agency and/or fast-paced startup environment, hiring for hardware, production, manufacturing engineering, or related technical roles
  • Ability to travel between sites as needed
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
