We are looking for a Senior Recruiter for Business Development to join our rapidly growing team in Washington, DC (preferred), Costa Mesa, CA, Seattle, WA, or Boston, MA office.

In this role, you will own full-cycle recruiting across Business Development, Government Relations, and Program Management, while providing flex support to adjacent Growth searches as needed. You will build deep partnerships with your hiring managers, becoming a trusted extension of their teams, while developing real relationships with candidates throughout the process. This will require the versatility to context-switch across searches that demand very different domain fluency, candidate pools, and assessment approaches.

• Own end-to-end recruiting across Business Development, Government Relations, and Program Management.
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies tailored to each sub-function.
• Conduct screens that assess functional depth, customer knowledge, and organizational fit.
• Manage the interview process from intake through close.
• Partner with BD and Growth leaders to understand current and upcoming hiring needs.
• Advise hiring managers on market conditions, compensation benchmarks, and candidate availability.
• Provide transparent pipeline updates and market intelligence.
• Influence role design and leveling by bringing external market perspective.
• Own the candidate experience from first outreach through close.
• Maintain data integrity in the ATS/CRM.
• Identify and implement improvements to recruiting processes, tools, and interview practices.
• Collaborate with the broader Talent Acquisition team.

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Direct experience recruiting within business development, capture, proposals, government relations, program management, or adjacent growth functions.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent searches across different functional areas.
• Strong stakeholder management skills.
• Data-informed mindset.
• Clear, effective communication with candidates and hiring teams.
• Ability to move fast and prioritize without letting quality or candidate experience slip.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

Requirements

• Experience recruiting in defense, aerospace, or a related industry.
• Familiarity with the DoD acquisition ecosystem.
• Experience recruiting across multiple BD sub-functions.
• Track record of improving recruiting processes, interview design, or assessment frameworks.
• Working knowledge of security clearance processes.
• Established network or sourcing muscle in the defense BD talent market.

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
• Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
