Résumé du poste

Anduril Industries in Washington, DC is seeking a Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition for the Rocket Motor Systems team to own full-cycle hiring, align workforce plans with production leadership, and drive measurable improvements across the recruiting funnel.

The role requires leading a team of recruiters, partnering with HR and engineering leaders, and delivering a high-caliber talent pipeline for hardware, production, and related technical roles.

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.

Responsabilités

• 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
