Regional Talent Recruiter Architect - Space Economy & Intelligence

About the role

We are global recruitment agency operating at the intersection of high-stakes talent acquisition and cutting-edge technology. We do not do generic, volume-based hiring. Instead, we act as elite, strategic human capital partners to pioneering startups, defense contractors, and aerospace giants worldwide. As the commercial space sector accelerates, we are aggressively expanding our footprint. We are building a specialized, dedicated global team focused entirely on the Space Economy. This team will be the go-to talent engine for the international NewSpace market, covering everything from satellite communications and launch vehicles to downstream data analytics. The Role & The Regional Opportunity As a Space Tech Talent Intelligence Architect, you will be one of the foundational pillars of this newly formed specialist unit. Operating from Singapore office with a cross-border global mandate, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge space technology and global business development. You will not be a passive resume-screener. You will take true ownership of the market-mastering sophisticated talent mapping methodologies to track highly scarce engineering teams across international hubs, while leading client acquisition and advisory partnerships with major commercial space players. As the team grows, so will your trajectory within this global specialization. We welcome two distinct backgrounds for this role: The Experienced Deep-Tech Recruiter looking to escape the volume game, build a highly profitable regional desk, and help shape a new global specialization. The Passionate Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering Graduate who loves the space industry but wants a dynamic, high-growth commercial career focused on global strategy, business development, and people rather than sitting behind a CAD design tool all day.

Responsibilities

• Regional & Global Talent Intelligence: Map out the aerospace and NewSpace talent ecosystems. You will track, analyze, and document technical engineering teams (e.g., Propulsion, GNC, Flight Software) across international competitor companies, research institutions, and defense hubs.
• Business Development & Client Acquisition: Proactively identify, pitch, and secure recruitment partnerships with commercial space startups, founders, and VPs of Engineering across the ASEAN and wider APAC regions, integrating them into our global agency network.
• Technical Vetting & Consulting: Conduct deep-dive technical and motivational screens. You must be able to confidently "talk physics" with rocket scientists and satellite engineers, evaluating their technical alignment for complex space systems.
• Mission-Driven Storytelling: Act as a powerful brand ambassador for our agency's clients. You will pitch high-risk, high-reward space ventures to stable corporate candidates across different cultural and geographical markets.
• Regulatory Compliance: Learn and navigate complex cross-border hiring frameworks, including international export controls and dual-use technology regulations (like ITAR/EAR) to advise clients on legally compliant talent pipelines.

• Extensive or deep personal interest in the commercial space sector (NewSpace).
• Strong communication skills, high emotional intelligence (EQ), and a natural commercial acumen.
• A strong desire to apply your engineering mindset to global market data, talent architecture, and high-stakes business negotiation.
• Core Attributes (For Both Tracks)
• A Regional & Global Mindset: Comfortable communicating across borders and cultures, and eager to drive international client and candidate relationships.
