TL;DR · Production Recruiting Lead

The CW Production Recruiting Lead serves as the single-threaded owner for all production, manufacturing, and supply chain hiring outcomes within the Connected Warfare division. This role functions as a player-coach and strategic program manager, balancing high-level strategy with hands-on execution. You will manage end-to-end hiring cycles, including headcount planning, demand forecasting, and risk mitigation while personally executing recruitment for critical leadership and technical roles. You will also coach the centralized recruiting team, ensuring their efforts align with divisional priorities. Key competencies include full-cycle recruiting, program management, data-driven reporting, and cross-functional collaboration with Finance and BizOps teams. The role addresses a critical alignment gap by providing direct visibility into talent pipelines for complex manufacturing and production roles within the defense technology sector, specifically focusing on hardware and supply chain infrastructure to meet contract milestones.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end production hiring outcomes including headcount planning, demand forecasting, and requisition prioritization for the CW division.
  • Act as a strategic talent partner to senior leadership by translating business objectives into actionable hiring strategies.
  • Provide regular reporting on hiring health, pipeline velocity, and risk mitigation to divisional stakeholders.
  • Execute full-cycle recruiting for high-priority roles including leadership, senior technical, and complex "single-point-of-failure" positions.
  • Align the priorities of the centralized production recruiting team and provide coaching and quality assurance to those recruiters.
  • Manage the operational rhythm for the division's hiring portfolio, including intake meetings and cross-functional coordination.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for hiring blockers, process breakdowns, or stakeholder misalignment within the division.
  • Design and lead high-volume surge hiring initiatives and complex recruitment programs specific to divisional needs.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 8+ years of talent acquisition experience in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • Must have significant recent experience as a full-cycle production or technical recruiter.
  • Proven ability to manage complex hiring portfolios and navigate ambiguous situations independently.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and advise Director-level and above stakeholders on hiring strategies.
  • Proven program management capability to lead initiatives beyond individual requisitions and coordinate cross-functional teams.
  • Excellent analytical skills to use data for decision-making and present hiring narratives to leadership.
  • Ability to provide direction and feedback to peers in a matrixed environment without formal authority.
