About the role

The ideal candidate will lead and mentor a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators, set strategy, and close critical searches themselves.

Responsibilities

• Own hiring strategy, execution, and tracking for Fluidstack's Software org, building the annual delivery plan while staying hands-on closing critical searches yourself.
• Lead and scale a talent acquisition function across manufacturing, supply chain, and industrial operations business units.
• Partner directly with senior hiring managers to forecast headcount, map talent needs, and align hiring strategy to business objectives.
• Build, mentor, and manage a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators with clear direction and performance accountability.
• Design hiring processes that balance speed with candidate quality, driving recruitment for hard-to-fill skilled trades, procurement, and supply chain roles to high offer-acceptance rates, and own the hiring metrics and recruiting infrastructure (ATS workflows, interview rubrics, calibration) that keep the funnel healthy.

You've built and run hiring for manufacturing, supply chain, or industrial operations orgs in a hyper-growth environment, ramping headcount without dropping the bar.

• Measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions.
• Give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
