REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of direct, full-cycle recruiting experience specifically focused on legal and regulatory roles, including corporate counsel, trade compliance (ITAR/EAR), commercial real estate, cybersecurity law, and government/defense contract management roles.
• Proven experience conducting thorough competency assessments and evaluating legal capabilities (e.g., contract drafting, regulatory risk mitigation, intellectual property, GovCon procurement regulations) against technical and cultural requirements.
• Experience managing strategic stakeholder relationships, particularly with general counsel, proposal and capture teams, driving strategic recruiting efforts based on business needs, profile calibration, and providing transparent pipeline progress via reporting.
• Experience acting in a consultative manner, where your guidance on market conditions, talent availability, and candidate expectations has led to improved outcomes and a positive candidate experience within the defense‑legal space.
• Clear and effective communication with legal candidates to understand motivation, drivers, and cultural fit within a fast‑paced, high‑impact organization.
• Experience managing various funnels of legal candidates and keeping track of their progress throughout the recruitment process using an ATS (e.g., Greenhouse).
• Highly autonomous but highly collaborative, thriving in a dynamic, high‑growth environment.
