Job description

At SYOS Aerospace, we’re not just building another aerospace company. We’re building autonomous technology across air, land and sea – and scaling fast. Our UK team is growing, our engineering programmes are expanding, and we’re building the people, culture and processes to support that growth. That’s where you come in.

The Role

At SYOS, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a passionate and commercially minded Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our People & Culture Team and help us attract, engage, and hire exceptional talent across our global business.

This is more than a recruitment role. As a partner to the business, you will work closely with hiring managers and very much work collaboratively with the People & Culture team to understand workforce needs, identify talent opportunities, and deliver innovative recruitment solutions that support our long‑term growth.

Working alongside our established Talent Acquisition team in New Zealand, you will be part of a collaborative international function focused on building talent pipelines, enhancing our employer brand, and delivering an outstanding candidate experience. This role suits hybrid working balanced with on‑site support for hiring managers.

What you’ll do:

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you will act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, providing expertise and market insight to support effective hiring decisions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Hiring driven by behaviours first and foremost.
• Managing end‑to‑end recruitment processes across a variety of business functions.
• Partnering with hiring managers to understand current and future workforce requirements.
• Collaborating closely with the New Zealand Talent Acquisition team to deliver a consistent global recruitment approach.
• Developing proactive sourcing strategies to identify and engage top talent.
• Building and maintaining talent pipelines for critical and hard‑to‑fill roles.
• Promoting the SYOS employer brand through targeted attraction campaigns and networking opportunities.
• Delivering an exceptional candidate experience throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
• Using recruitment data and market insights to influence hiring strategies and drive continuous improvement.
• Championing inclusive hiring practices and ensuring compliance with recruitment policies and procedures.

What we’re looking for:

An experienced recruiter or Talent Acquisition professional who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and influencing outcomes.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience managing end‑to‑end recruitment within an in‑house or agency environment.
• Strong stakeholder management and relationship‑building skills.
• The ability to influence, challenge, and support hiring managers effectively.
• Experience sourcing talent across multiple channels, including LinkedIn and professional networks.
• Ability to demonstrate T&A working collaboratively with People team and not independently.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively with colleagues across international locations.
• Experience of delivery high volume quality hires.
• Experience using Applicant Tracking Systems and recruitment technologies.

Why SYOS?

This isn’t a traditional corporate HR environment. You’ll be joining a fast growing engineering and technology business where things move quickly, priorities evolve and your contribution is visible.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across the employee lifecycle, influence how we do things and help build the HR foundations that support our next stage of growth.

If you want to be close to the action, work with great people and help build something from the ground up, we want to hear from you.

Curious people. Big ideas. A team that gets things done.

We collaborate, move quickly, challenge ideas and take ownership.

Come build with us. Grow with us.
