US Talent Acquisition

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end recruiting across technical, operational, and support functions for the US entity
• Build and own sourcing strategies tailored to the US talent market
• Partner with hiring managers across our regions to define role requirements, calibrate on profiles, and move searches efficiently
• Manage the full candidate lifecycle: sourcing, screening, interviews, offer structuring, and pre-boarding in Ashby (our ATS)
• Drive high-volume hiring across technical and operational profiles while simultaneously running senior searches
• Represent Harmattan AI as an employer of choice in the US — building brand awareness in the defense-tech and autonomous systems space
• Maintain pipeline data and reporting for US headcount; surface risks and recommendations proactively to Paris

Requirements

• 6+ years of Talent Acquisition experience, ideally within a fast-scaling tech, deep-tech, or industrial company
• Proven track record running high-volume and senior searches simultaneously — you are comfortable across the full spectrum
• Strong command of the US talent market and hiring landscape, with existing networks across engineering, defense, and technical talent pools
• Hands-on with ATS platforms (Ashby experience a plus) and comfortable with HRIS systems
• Intellectually rigorous and data-driven — you track pipeline metrics, flag risks early, and present clearly to leadership
• Autonomous by nature: you move fast, make sound judgments with incomplete information, and escalate the right things
