Partnering closely with senior leaders to advise on role scoping, hiring priorities, and realistic timelines
Supporting hiring across the UK, US and Europe
Building credibility with deeply technical stakeholders across software, hardwar,e and scientific disciplines
Improving hiring cadence, prioritisation and pipeline visibility without over-engineering processes
What they’re looking for
Proven experience with specialist, technical candidate markets (deep tech, engineering, semiconductor, scientific or adjacent fields)
Comfortable remaining hands-on in delivery while managing and supporting others
Confident stakeholder partner – able to listen, challenge constructively and mediate competing priorities
Calm, ego-free and adaptable – comfortable with ambiguity and evolving plans
Exposure to international hiring, particularly the US, is highly desirable
