Global Head of Talent Acquisition

Join Skylo, a leading technology company, as the Global Head of Talent Acquisition. In this player-coach role, you will build and run our recruiting function, transforming it into a data-backed competitive advantage. You will architect and execute a multi-year global talent acquisition strategy, optimize our recruiting system, and lead a global recruiting team. This position offers comprehensive benefits, a generous time off policy, and the opportunity to work abroad temporarily.

• Architect and execute a multi-year global talent acquisition strategy that supports Skylo's aggressive technical milestones and long-term business goals.
• Run our hiring motions separately and resource them differently: (1) scarce specialist, via named-target mapping and executive-sponsored outreach, (2) scaled functional, via a repeatable pipeline with conversion metrics, (3) executive, via retained search, and (4) cleared personnel, as our government work matures.
• Own and optimize Ashby as our core recruiting OS, managing workflows, interview kits, system permissions, third-party integrations, and strict data hygiene across all candidate pipelines.

• A track record of building structured interviewing from scratch, and of measuring quality of hire rather than only speed and volume. Able to drive candidate experience initiatives, and employer branding programs from scratch
• Deep experience establishing formal headcount planning mechanics, recruiter capacity models, and pipeline forecasting tools alongside Finance and executive teams
• Proven ability to manage executive search and agency partners, and specifically to transition hiring volume away from them and in-house without dropping the bar
• Expert hands-on proficiency with Ashby or equivalent modern ATS platforms, including system architecture, reporting, and workflow automation
• Direct experience hiring into a scarce, specialized talent market such as semiconductor, aerospace, defense, satellite or wireless infrastructure
• Demonstrated experience scaling organizations rapidly through multi-geographic expansion and complex technical hiring pushes
• 10+ years in talent acquisition, including 5+ years leading recruiting teams in software, hardware, deep-tech, telecom, or other service operations. We care more that a meaningful share of that time was spent personally sourcing and closing senior technical hires than we do about total years managing recruiters, and we look carefully at your history in building and leading high performing TA teams
• Strategic mindset paired with an operational bias for action, comfortable moving seamlessly between high-level executive advisory and tactical execution
