This is a high-impact, business-critical role at the heart of Shield’s AI international expansion—supporting new market entries, building and scaling best-in-class  sales and engineering organisations, and partnering with senior leaders to shape our future. This is not a transactional recruiting role. You will operate as a strategic advisor, market expert, and builder—owning how talent enables scale across diverse EMEA markets.

  • Translate market entry and growth plan into scalable, data-driven regional talent acquisition strategies.

  • Advise leaders on market feasibility from a talent perspective (availability, cost, timing, and risk).
  • Execution with Excellence
  • Own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for all roles including senior, critical, and hard-to-hire roles.
  • Partner to design and execute sourcing strategies that attract high-impact engineering and commercial talent across the EMEA region
  • Shape local hiring approaches while maintaining a consistent global hiring bar.
  • Employer Branding & Talent Attraction
  • Act as an EMEA ambassador for our employer brand, ensuring we are positioned as an employer of choice in the region
  • Partner with Branding, Comms, and Leadership to shape and localise our employer value proposition for different EMEA countries.
  • Identify and activate employer branding opportunities (events, content,
    communities, referrals, social presence).
  • Ensure inclusive, consistent, and authentic candidate experience that reinforces our brand and values at every touchpoint.
  • Driving at Scale
  • Use data to forecast hiring needs, track progress, and continuously optimise our recruitment performance.
  • Improve TA processes, tools, and ways of partnering to support speed, quality, and scale.
  • Be a visible voice for talent across the EMEA leadership community.
  • Requirements

    Required qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a strategic talent acquisition partner driving full cycle hiring for both engineering and go to market talent within the defence space or Public Sector Saas space.
  • Demonstrated success supporting new market entries and scaling teams at pace.
  • Strong credibility working with senior leaders and executives as a trusted talent advisor and business partner.
  • Deep understanding of EMEA talent dynamics, sourcing strategies, and competitive intelligence.
  • Highly consultative, commercially minded, and comfortable operating with ambiguity.
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
