Head of Talent Acquisition, International

Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE JOB As the Head of Talent Acquisition, EMEA, you own the build-out of Anduril's talent acquisition capability across the EMEA region.

Multiple divisions will be scaling into EMEA at once, often into the same countries and talent pools, and your job is to make sure their combined demand lands on a coherent, compliant, and well-resourced regional hiring capability, rather than five uncoordinated efforts competing for the same candidates. WHAT YOU’LL DO Regional Strategy and Build-Out • Define and execute Anduril's EMEA talent acquisition strategy, directly informed by the combined hiring demand of every division scaling into the region. • Own EMEA hiring outcomes (time-to-fill, quality, acceptance rates) as the single accountable owner for regional delivery. • Own EMEA hiring governance, compliance, and workforce planning across the region's countries, each with distinct labor law, works council, and candidate market dynamics. • Develop EMEA hiring playbooks, and partner with the Head of Talent Acquisi…
