The Director will inherit an existing foundation, but will be expected to strengthen it, build the team around it, and create the recruiting infrastructure required for the next stage of Moonshot’s growth. This person must be comfortable operating as both a functional leader and a hands-on recruiter, remaining directly involved in critical and difficult-to-fill searches while developing a team capable of executing at scale.\nKey Responsibilities\nTalent Acquisition Leadership & Team Building: Lead and scale Moonshot’s Talent Acquisition function.

Develop repeatable talent pipelines for critical and difficult-to-fill roles.\nProcess & Operating Rhythm: Establish scalable recruiting processes across intake, sourcing, screening, interviewing, selection, offers, and onboarding. Build consistent operating rhythms with hiring leaders around requisition prioritization, pipeline reviews, feedback, and decision-making.\nSystems, Data & Reporting: Improve the systems and technology supporting Talent Acquisition, including ATS workflows, automation, reporting, and data quality. Establish meaningful recruiting metrics around pipeline health, hiring velocity, time to fill, time to hire, source effectiveness, and other key performance indicators.\nCandidate Engagement & Closing: Create a high-touch candidate experience appropriate for highly competitive technical and leadership markets. Build strong closing practices and ensure recruiters and hiring leaders work together effectively to secure priority talent.\nExternal Recruiting Partnerships: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with external recruiting partners. Set clear expectations around quality, communication, responsiveness, and cost while continuing Moonshot’s standard of being a transparent, engaged client that strong recruiting partners want to work with.\nContinuous Improvement: Identify bottlenecks across the recruiting lifecycle and implement practical solutions that improve speed, quality, visibility, and hiring-manager experience as Moonshot continues to scale.\nQualifications\nExperience:\n10+ years of progressive Talent Acquisition experience, including leadership of recruiting teams or functions in high-growth environments.\nProven track record building or scaling an internal Talent Acquisition function, including team capacity, processes, systems, metrics, and operating rhythms.\nStrong experience recruiting engineering and technical talent, including mechanical, electrical, controls, power, software development, AI, and other specialized functions. Manufacturing, production, industrial, or other operational recruiting experience strongly preferred.\nExperience managing significant hiring volume while also supporting specialized, leadership, and executive searches and building proactive pipelines for difficult-to-find talent.\nStrong executive partnership experience across workforce planning, recruiting strategy, hiring priorities, and accountability.\nExperience implementing, migrating, or materially improving ATS and recruiting technology.\nData center, electrical equipment, power infrastructure, mission-critical infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, or adjacent technical experience strongly preferred.\nLeadership & Operating Skills:\nBuilder mentality with the ability to create structure without unnecessary bureaucracy.\nComfortable operating as both a strategic leader and a hands-on recruiter.\nStrong sourcing instincts and candidate-closing skills in competitive technical markets.\nAbility to lead, coach, and hold a recruiting team accountable for results.\nExecutive presence and the ability to advise, influence, and challenge hiring leaders.\nData-driven, high-urgency operator comfortable making decisions in a fast-moving growth environment.\nEducation:\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.\nEngineering or other technical educational background is a plus.\nWhy Moonshot?\nScale:

Acquisition function, including the team, processes, systems, and recruiting strategy.\nImpact: Directly influence Moonshot’s ability to add the engineering, manufacturing, operational, and leadership talent required to support continued growth.\nBuilder Culture: Join an organization that values speed, accountability, practical problem-solving, and execution.\n Growth: Build a function that will
