Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Recruiting Manager to own talent delivery for the Advanced Effects business line within the Air Dominance & Strike division. Advanced Effects is Anduril's largest revenue driver—a multi-billion-dollar portfolio spanning next-generation combat aircraft, autonomous unmanned systems, and AI-powered defense platforms.
In this role, you will be the single-threaded owner of recruiting strategy and execution for a strategic program, combining deep business partnership with direct people leadership. You'll translate business objectives into hiring strategies, manage recruiter teams, and ensure the right talent lands on the right programs at the right time.
Key responsibilities include:
Strategic Business Partnership: Own end-to-end talent acquisition strategy for your business line, including headcount planning, demand management, and requisition prioritization tied to program milestones and revenue commitments. Act as a trusted advisor to VP-level and program leadership, using market intelligence and hiring data to shape the talent roadmap. Define hiring goals, SLAs, and success metrics; report progress through dashboards and business reviews. Partner with BizOps, Finance, and Workforce Planning on headcount allocation and budget alignment. Own all hiring progress reporting and serve as the primary escalation point for hiring blockers.
Recruiting Execution: Set the standard for recruiting excellence across sourcing, candidate engagement, assessment rigor, and closing. Maintain hands-on market expertise by actively recruiting on a select portfolio to understand talent availability, compensation dynamics, and competitive positioning. Lead major cross-functional hiring initiatives and surge efforts—batch days, high-volume campaigns, and ramp-to-milestone sprints.
Team Leadership: Provide direct people leadership for recruiters aligned to your business line, including performance management, coaching, mentorship, and career development. Manage recruiter allocation, capacity, and performance tracking. Build a high-performing recruiting organization that operates with urgency, rigor, and mission alignment.
You'll work with aerospace engineers designing stealth capabilities, software developers programming AI vehicle integration, systems integrators, and program leaders managing billion-dollar initiatives. Every hire directly contributes to platforms that protect lives and maintain air superiority.
