Job description

Описание:

ARIA is a R&D funding agency created to unlock technological breakthroughs that benefit everyone. We fund scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of the possible. At ARIA, we believe breakthroughs are driven by people. As our Talent Acquisition Manager in R&D, you’ll play a pivotal role in bringing together the exceptional people who will turn ambitious scientific ideas into transformative technologies. This is more than recruitment; it’s about building relationships, challenging convention, and connecting extraordinary talent with a mission that matters.

Задачи:

Full-Cycle Hiring - with a particular focus on deep AI/ML and computational skillsets, you will drive intentional campaigns to find exceptional, diverse, and values-driven talent rather than just filling seats. Act as an ambassador for ARIA. You will manage complex (at times), multi-stage interview schedules, frequently aligning candidates across various global time zones, ensuring every candidate, regardless of the outcome, feels valued, heard, and receives a first-class experience. Act as a trusted strategic advisor to hiring managers and scientific leaders. You will guide them through complex hiring decisions, challenging assumptions when necessary, and coach them on inclusive, effective assessment techniques. Support the Talent Acquisition Lead in sourcing and selecting ARIA's Programme Directors. In this unique challenge, you will assist in identifying and engaging the visionary scientific leaders who will define our strategic direction, architect our funding programmes, and drive technological breakthroughs. Help tell the ARIA story - you’ll partner with our Comms team to manage our presence on platforms like LinkedIn and Glassdoor, and help at events to build a community around our mission; using your sourcing skills to build proactive pipelines of talent, driving faster time to hire. Represent ARIA at leading scientific conferences, academic symposiums, and tech industry events. You will support targeted talent gatherings and embed yourself in specialised communities to cultivate long-term relationships and build a warm pipeline of passive candidates.

Требования:

Bring proven in-house recruitment experience from a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment, specifically hiring for niche technical, scientific, or deep-tech roles relevant to ARIA’s mission. You have a strong track record of actively sourcing for hard-to-fill positions, moving beyond inbound applications to systematically hunt for exceptional, elusive talent and build scalable sourcing engines. You’re agile and adaptable, thriving in environments where the right way isn't always written down. You’re highly organised. We typically run campaign-style recruiting processes that require careful planning, communicating upfront timeframes, and close coordination both internally and externally. You operate with a high degree of autonomy. We don't micromanage; instead, we trust you to take full accountability for your campaigns, proactively identifying bottlenecks and building solutions before problems evolve. You’re a systems thinker where you don’t just do tasks; you build systems to make everything run smoother. You have a track record of using tech to eliminate friction. You understand the UK talent landscape. You can speak the language of R&D and innovation, and you appreciate the nuances of hiring for a high-profile public agency. Being detail-obsessed, you understand that in a high-stakes agency, small details, error-free comms, consistent branding and seamless scheduling - build the credibility that’s needed to hire the best.
