About The Role

As a Divisional Production Recruiting Lead, you are the single-threaded owner of all production/manufacturing/supplychain hiring outcomes for your assigned Division. This role exists to solve a critical alignment gap: giving Divisional leaders direct visibility, accountability, and control over their talent pipelines while maintaining leverage from centralized recruiting operations.

You will operate as an embedded player-coach and strategic program manager—personally executing your Division's most critical and complex production assignments while aligning the priorities and workload of the centralized production recruiting team for all of your divisional roles. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role designed for a proven recruiting operator who can think strategically, execute tactically, and build trusted relationships with senior divisional leadership.

This role is a deliberate bridge in our organizational evolution: it creates the foundation for Divisions to eventually roll-up production recruiting end-to-end while maintaining execution efficiency and central coordination during a period of structural maturity.

What You'll Do

Divisional Accountability & Strategic Ownership

• Own end-to-end production hiring outcomes for your Division, including headcount planning, demand forecasting, requisition prioritization, and delivery against hiring targets.
• Act as the primary strategic talent partner to your Divisional Head of TA and senior divisional leaders, translating business objectives into executable hiring strategies.
• Deliver regular reporting on hiring health, pipeline velocity, capacity constraints, and risk mitigation to divisional leadership—providing full transparency and "positive control" over talent delivery.
• Define and manage SLAs, hiring goals, and success metrics for your Division's production portfolio in partnership with business stakeholders. 

Hands-On Recruiting Execution (Player)

• Personally own and execute full-cycle recruiting on priority roles as needed for your Division's most critical, complex, or strategic production roles, including:
  • Leadership and senior technical hires (Head of, Director, VPs)
  • Single-point-of-failure roles or positions with unique market challenges
  • First-of-their-kind roles requiring deep business context and creative sourcing strategies
• Set the standard for recruiting excellence within your Division—demonstrating best-in-class sourcing, candidate engagement, assessment rigor, and offer negotiation.
• Maintain credibility and market intelligence by staying hands-on in the craft of recruiting, ensuring you deeply understand talent availability, compensation trends, and competitive dynamics. 

Program Management & Priority Direction (Coach)

• Align the day-to-day priorities of the centralized production recruiting team aligned to your Division, ensuring their focus is calibrated to the highest-impact hiring needs.
• Provide coaching, real-time feedback, and quality assurance to centralized recruiters working on your Division's roles (without formal people management responsibility).
• Lead the operational rhythm for your Division's production hiring portfolio, including intake meetings, pipeline reviews, and cross-functional coordination with hiring managers, HR, and Finance.
• Act as the single escalation point for hiring blockers, process breakdowns, or stakeholder misalignment within your Division.
• Design and lead surge hiring initiatives, high-volume campaigns, or other complex hiring programs specific to your Division's business needs. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Influence

• Partner closely with The Lead Coordinator, for Overall Divisional Production TA to ensure process consistency, share best practices, and contribute to cross-divisional reporting and strategic planning.
• Provide structured input into performance evaluations and development plans for centralized recruiters supporting your Division, ensuring their contributions to divisional outcomes are recognized.
• Build strong relationships with Divisional BizOps, Finance, and Workforce Planning teams to align on headcount allocation, budget, and hiring sequencing.
• Influence hiring manager behavior and decision-making, serving as a trusted advisor on candidate quality, market realities, and talent strategy trade-offs. 

Who You Are

You are a high-performing recruiting operator who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys owning outcomes. You are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves to close a Director-level hire and stepping back to orchestrate a 50+ role hiring sprint. You have the business acumen to partner with senior leaders, the program management discipline to drive complex initiatives, and the recruiting chops to execute at the highest level.

You see this role as what it is: a strategic springboard—a chance to prove you can own a business-critical function, build scalable systems, and lead through influence before stepping into formal people leadership.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of talent acquisition experience, including significant recent experience as a full-cycle production or technical recruiter in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• Proven ability to operate independently with minimal oversight, managing complex hiring portfolios, competing priorities, and ambiguous situations with sound judgment.
• Strong business partnership skills: experience influencing and advising Director-level and above stakeholders, translating business needs into hiring strategies, and managing escalations diplomatically.
• Demonstrated program management capability—experience leading hiring initiatives beyond individual requisitions, coordinating cross-functional teams, and delivering results through others.
• Excellent analytical and communication skills: ability to use data to drive decisions, tell a compelling story, and present hiring health narratives to senior leadership.
• Comfortable working in a matrixed environment, providing direction and feedback to peers without formal management authority. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience recruiting for production, production operations, or frontline roles in industries such as synergistics, robotics, logistics, manufacturing, field services, or government contracting.
• Experience working in a decentralized or divisional business structure, particularly in organizations undergoing TA operating model transitions.
• Formal program or project management training or certification (e.g., PMP, Agile, Six Sigma).
• Prior experience as a recruiting lead, squad lead, or business partner with responsibility for a portfolio of hiring beyond personal requisition load.
• Familiarity with workforce planning, capacity modeling, and demand forecasting in partnership with Finance or BizOps teams.
• Track record of mentoring or coaching recruiters, with examples of improving team performance or developing junior talent. 

Why This Role Matters

This is not a typical recruiting role. You are being entrusted with divisional accountability for a critical talent function during a pivotal moment in the organization's evolution. You will have direct influence over your Division's ability to meet contract milestones, scale operations, and hit revenue targets. Success in this role positions you as a proven internal candidate to lead a fully embedded or expanded Production TA organization in the future—and equips you with the strategic leadership experience needed to advance into senior TA leadership roles across the enterprise. You will be the bridge between strategy and execution. Between central leverage and divisional ownership. Between what we do today and what we build tomorrow.
