Senior Manger, RMS

The Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team is scaling rapidly, and the talent we bring in will define how fast and how well we deliver. As Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition for RMS, you will own the recruiting engine that fuels that growth. This is not a passive support function—you will sit at the table with production and engineering leaders, translate workforce plans into hiring strategies, and hold your team to a consistently high bar across process discipline and performance outcomes. We need a leader who is solution-oriented by default: someone who digs into the data, identifies what’s broken or underperforming, and initiates change once the evidence supports it—not after consensus emerges on its own. You will build and refine recruiting processes that are measurable and repeatable, coach your team to execute at a high level, and ensure every hire raises the caliber of the organization. You will manage a team of recruiters, partner with hiring managers across the RMS organization, and drive full-cycle strategy from talent mapping through offer close. The right person for this role combines operational rigor with the creativity and urgency of a startup recruiter—no task too big, no detail too small.
