AI summary

The role involves partnering with senior leaders to drive talent acquisition strategies across APAC, focusing on scaling and building organizations in diverse markets.

Eligible from: Australia and APAC

Job Description

We’re hiring a Principal Strategic Talent Acquisition Partner to help power our next phase of growth across APAC. This is a high-impact, business-critical role at the heart of Shield AI’s international expansion—supporting new market entries, building and scaling best-in-class software and commercial organisations, and partnering with senior leaders to shape our future in the region.

This is not a transactional recruiting role. You will operate as a strategic advisor, market expert, and builder, owning how talent enables scale across highly diverse APAC markets, cultures, and regulatory environments.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do

Strategic Talent Partnership

Partner closely with senior and executive-level stakeholders to understand business objectives, growth plans, and capability gaps across APAC.

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

Act as a thought partner and advisor on regional talent trends, market intelligence, and competitive hiring strategies.

Advise leaders on market feasibility from a talent perspective, including availability, cost, timelines, and risk across different APAC countries.

Execution with Excellence

Own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for all roles, including senior, critical, and hard-to-hire positions.

Design and execute sourcing strategies that attract high-impact engineering and commercial talent across APAC.

Adapt hiring approaches to local market realities while maintaining a consistent global hiring bar.

Employer Branding & Talent Attraction

Act as an APAC ambassador for Shield AI’s employer brand, positioning us as an employer of choice across the region.

Partner with Branding, Comms, and Leadership to shape and localise our employer value proposition for different APAC markets.

Identify and activate employer branding opportunities (events, content, communities, referrals, social presence).

Ensure an inclusive, consistent, and culturally 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 recruitment performance across the region.

Improve TA processes, tools, and operating models to support speed, quality, and scale in complex, multi-country environments.

Be a visible and trusted voice for talent within the APAC leadership community.

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience as a strategic talent acquisition partner, driving full-cycle hiring for both engineering and go-to-market talent in high-growth tech environments (aerospace, defence, robotics, or deep tech desirable).

Demonstrated success supporting new market entries and rapid scaling across the APAC region.

Strong credibility partnering with senior leaders and executives as a trusted talent advisor and business partner.

Deep understanding of APAC talent dynamics, including sourcing strategies, cultural considerations, and competitive intelligence across multiple countries.

Highly consultative, commercially minded, and comfortable operating with ambiguity and complexity.

Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-moving environment.
