• Act as a trusted talent advisor and thought partner to hiring leaders by understanding business objectives, workforce needs, and market dynamics.
• Own and drive the end-to-end recruiting lifecycle, from talent mapping and intake consultation through interviewing, offer strategy, and closing.
• Design and execute robust, creative search strategies, including sourcing talent in niche or highly competitive markets.
• Utilize industry-leading sourcing, networking, and applicant tracking tools to manage pipelines, track progress, and deliver results.
• Assess and evaluate talent holistically, applying behavioral and technical interview techniques and sound judgment.
• Recognize when unique or complex hiring situations require deeper analysis, additional stakeholder alignment, or tailored approaches, and adjust accordingly.
• Provide strategic guidance, education, and calibration for senior leaders and interview teams to support effective and equitable hiring decisions.
• Drive process excellence and continuous improvement, bringing forward new ideas, insights, and best practices to enhance recruiting effectiveness and candidate experience.
• Translate recruiting data into clear, actionable insights that inform hiring strategy, enable trade-off decisions, and drive continuous improvement.
• Ensure a high-quality candidate and new-hire experience, consistently representing the RTX employer brand.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Minimum of 3 years of full cycle recruiting experience in competitive market environments.
• Experience leading and driving recruiting initiatives, including managing complex or multi-stakeholder hiring efforts.
• Experience working in the Aerospace and Defense industry.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Demonstrated professional fluency in both English and Spanish, including the ability to read, write, speak, and translate business-related communications in both languages, as this role regularly supports English- and Spanish-speaking stakeholders.
• Proven ability to operate as a self-sufficient recruiting expert, exercising sound judgment and ownership with minimal oversight.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to partner with, advise, and influence senior and executive leaders.
• Ability to connect business strategy and evolution to talent priorities, translating needs into actionable recruiting strategies.
• Strong data literacy and analytical mindset, with the ability to interpret recruiting metrics, identify trends, and use insights to influence stakeholders, improve processes, and drive results.
