Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Direct experience recruiting within business development, capture, proposals, government relations, or program management — ideally in defense, aerospace, or national security.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent searches across different functional areas while maintaining quality and candidate experience.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to advise, calibrate, and build trust with hiring managers across levels.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruiting across Business Development, Government Relations, and Program Management, with flex capacity into adjacent Growth hiring during peak periods.
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies tailored to each sub-function, recognizing that a capture manager pipeline rooted in the DoD acquisition community looks very different from a government relations pipeline built around former Hill staff and agency liaisons.

• Manage the interview process from intake through close: calibrate with hiring managers, prepare interview panels, facilitate debriefs, and drive offers to signature.
