### Job Description:

As we scale rapidly across EMEA and APJ regions, we’re looking for a highly driven Senior Talent Sourcer who lives and breathes talent discovery - someone who can take a complex, highly specialized needs and translate it into a precision sourcing strategy. You’ll be the go-to expert for market mapping, proactive candidate generation, and pipeline cultivation across our Go-to-Market and Engineering groups.  
This isn’t just a “find resumes” role - it’s about building intelligence, relationships, and repeatable systems that fuel our engineering hiring engine.

### What you'll do:

-   Own the top of funnel: Partner closely with recruiters and hiring leaders to define target profiles and build deep, data-informed sourcing strategies across multiple regions and functions.
-   Map the market: Develop comprehensive talent landscapes by company, skillset, and geography; identify hidden talent pools and competitor org structures to inform recruiting strategy.
-   Generate and engage: Use advanced Boolean, tooling, and creative sourcing channels (LinkedIn Recruiter, ClearanceJobs, SeekOut, Github, forums, niche aerospace networks, etc.) to identify and engage exceptional candidates.
-   Build pipelines proactively: Maintain warm relationships with high-value candidates to enable just-in-time hiring across priority programs.
-   Be the sourcing SME: Coach recruiters and hiring managers on market insights, talent availability, and candidate engagement best practices.
-   Partner for impact: Work cross-functionally with TA ops, branding, and university teams to optimize outbound messaging 

### Required qualifications:

-   5+ years of proven cross-regional sourcing experience, ideally in aerospace, defence, autonomy, or other complex hardware/software industries (in-house or executive search environment)
-   Proven track record in market mapping, competitive intelligence, and candidate generation for highly specialized technical roles.
-   Deep expertise in Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, HireZ, and other sourcing platforms.
-   Experience building and maintaining long-term relationships with passive, cleared, or niche engineering talent.
-   Excellent communication and storytelling skills - you know how to engage technical talent authentically.
-   Highly organized, data-driven, and able to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
-   Comfortable working in ambiguous and ever evolving environment with shifting priorities
