Summary Generated by Built In

Ursa Major was founded to address a critical shortfall in the U.S. industrial base and bring a new model to aerospace and defense systems: we design and manufacture the world’s leading propulsion systems for space, hypersonic applications, and missile systems. 

Our products and technologies require an extraordinary team – a team that will mold tomorrow’s technologies while deploying today’s best. We are an intrinsically motivated team that has a passion for solving problems and empowering each other every day to develop our skills, knowing that there is always room for growth.

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition (TA) Partner to join our Talent team. An Ursa Major TA Partner is a professional networker, sourcing guru, administrative wizard, and lover of learning all things technical. You will manage a full plate of strategic sourcing while driving HM and candidate engagement and collaborate with your peers to get a multitude of roles filled quickly with qualified and diverse candidates. Ursa is looking for someone who works well on a team but is also a problem-solver and can be independent while seeing projects through to completion. You will be metric-driven, strive for continual process improvements, be flexible to shifting priorities, and actively push the envelope daily. No day is the same at Ursa Major and staying organized and nimble is crucial for successfully juggling an ever-shifting workload. 

This role will be a 3-6 month contract, exempt position with the potential to become full-time based on business needs. Our hope is for this TA Partner to be on-site at least 3 days a week with the flexibility to work from home the remaining days.    

Responsibilities: 

  • Lead kickoff meetings with Hiring Managers (HMs) to develop requisitions, understand project needs and discuss headcount while acting as a partner by providing market insight and guidance into the entire interview process. 
  • Create and execute long-term strategies to source candidates and build talent pipelines for both current and future needs. 
  • Actively source and engage candidates (the best candidates may not even be looking!) using innovative techniques within budget. 
  • Leverage referrals, leads, emerging technology, external recruiting partners, and networking events to build our brand and talent pipeline.
  • Conduct the first point of contact phone screens with candidates.
  • Act as the face of Ursa’s brand by articulating Ursa's mission, culture, trajectory, and company benefits as appropriate.
  • Discuss candidates with HMs and recommend top candidates for the next steps.  
  • Guide candidates through the interview process by providing them with an exceptional experience from start to finish.
  • Maintain and ensure accurate records in our ATS.
  • Willingness to assist teammates in all endeavors to establish Ursa as an industry leader. 

Required Qualifications: 

  • 3+ years of recruiting experience for highly technical roles or 5+ years of professional experience as a recruiter.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Ability to provide only the highest caliber candidate experience.  
  • Ability to build strong relationships with both HMs and candidates.
  • Demonstrated commitment to valuing diversity in all its forms as well as contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment. 

Desired Experience: 

  • Bachelor's degree. 
  • 5+ years of technical recruiting work experience. 
  • Previous time recruiting for aerospace roles.
  • Strong competitive market awareness.
  • Experience with creative sourcing using tools and techniques such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Google X-Ray, etc.  
  • Experience with Greenhouse is strongly preferred.
  • An understanding of unconscious bias and how to implement and improve Ursa’s inclusion efforts.

What We Do

At Ursa Major, we are powering the future of aerospace. We see aerospace advancement as a technological imperative and we’re accelerating the industry as the leading source of world-class propulsion systems.

We meticulously design, craft, and test engines that are optimized to offer high performance, diverse capability, and unwavering reliability.

Why Work With Us

As much as we value talent, we know that it’s meaningless without the drive, humility, and hunger to work on a team. A team shares a common goal and obsesses about achieving it together. This requires leaving egos at the door and committing to do whatever’s required (within reason) to achieve mission success.
