TL;DR · Production Recruiting Lead

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 hands-on full-cycle recruiting for high-priority leadership and technical roles with the oversight of a centralized recruiting team. Key responsibilities include headcount planning, demand forecasting, and managing recruitment pipelines while providing coaching and quality assurance to recruiters. The ideal candidate possesses over eight years of talent acquisition experience in fast-paced environments, specifically within production or technical domains like robotics, logistics, manufacturing, or government contracting. You will utilize data-driven insights to manage hiring health and navigate complex organizational structures. This role addresses the critical need for aligned talent pipelines to meet contract milestones and scale operations within a defense technology context.

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.
  • Manage the daily priorities of the centralized production recruiting team and provide coaching and quality assurance.
  • Lead 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.
  • 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 operate independently while managing complex hiring portfolios and ambiguous situations.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and advise Director-level and above stakeholders on hiring strategies.
  • Demonstrated program management capability to lead initiatives beyond individual requisitions and coordinate cross-functional teams.
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills to use data for decision-making and reporting to senior leadership.
  • Ability to provide direction and feedback to peers in a matrixed environment without formal management authority.
