About this role

About Us

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

About the Role

You will be the primary driver of Talent Acquisition for our US operations: building pipelines, closing high-caliber candidates, and partnering closely with the Global Head of Talent in Paris to execute our local hiring strategy. This is a high-volume, high-bar recruiting mandate with real ownership and direct access to leadership. You may also provide support on HR topics as the US entity establishes itself.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end recruiting across technical, operational, and support functions for the US entity

  • Build and own sourcing strategies tailored to the US talent market

  • Partner with hiring managers across our regions to define role requirements, calibrate on profiles, and move searches efficiently

  • Manage the full candidate lifecycle: sourcing, screening, interviews, offer structuring, and pre-boarding in Ashby (our ATS)

  • Drive high-volume hiring across technical and operational profiles while simultaneously running senior searches

  • Represent Harmattan AI as an employer of choice in the US — building brand awareness in the defense-tech and autonomous systems space

  • Maintain pipeline data and reporting for US headcount; surface risks and recommendations proactively to Paris

  • Support on HR topics, such as onboarding coordination or local compliance queries

Profile Requirements

  • 6+ years of Talent Acquisition experience, ideally within a fast-scaling tech, deep-tech, or industrial company

  • Proven track record running high-volume and senior searches simultaneously — you are comfortable across the full spectrum

  • Strong command of the US talent market and hiring landscape, with existing networks across engineering, defense, and technical talent pools

  • Hands-on with ATS platforms (Ashby experience a plus) and comfortable with HRIS systems

  • Intellectually rigorous and data-driven — you track pipeline metrics, flag risks early, and present clearly to leadership

  • Autonomous by nature: you move fast, make sound judgments with incomplete information, and escalate the right things

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
