Talent Acquisition Partner
R&D
Europe
Full-time
The Talent Acquisition Partner owns the end-to-end hiring engine at Ark. This role is responsible for building Talent Acquisition from zero—designing the system, shipping hires, shaping the employer narrative, and advising leadership with real-time market intelligence.
This is a hands-on, founder-level role. You will recruit deeply technical, mission-critical talent across autonomy, robotics, embedded systems, and adjacent domains—while turning Ark’s frontline reality into a compelling reason to join. Success is measured in hires shipped, teams strengthened, and momentum created—not in decks or process for its own sake.
Сore responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:
Build and launch Ark’s Talent Acquisition engine from scratch (ATS, scorecards, interviewer training, sourcing strategy, dashboards).
Own delivery of mission-critical hires end-to-end, with speed and quality.
Establish a repeatable, high-signal hiring process that scales.
Shape and activate Ark’s employer brand through direct, authentic storytelling.
Proactively map, nurture, and maintain top-tier talent pools ahead of demand.
Provide founders and leaders with live talent market insight (compensation, availability, relocation).
Treat hiring like a product: experiment, learn fast, improve continuously.
Key Competencies & Skills:
Built Talent Acquisition from zero in deep-tech or hardware + software environments.
Full-stack recruiter: sourcing → assessment → closing.
Strong understanding of robotics, autonomy, embedded systems, and engineering markets.
Proven ability to turn unknown or emerging brands into talent magnets.
High ownership, low ego, strong execution bias.
Bonus: defence / dual-use exposure; Eastern Europe & Baltics hiring experience.
Languages Needed:
English (fluent)
Ukrainian or Russian (strong advantage)
Values Alignment:
Mission-first mindset and comfort operating in high-stakes environments.
Ownership over hierarchy; impact over optics.
Speed, clarity, and accountability in execution.
Direct, honest communication with high trust.
Builder mentality—energised by ambiguity and creation.
What Success Looks Like After 6 Months:
Ark has a functioning, trusted Talent Acquisition engine. Mission-critical roles are being filled predictably, hiring quality is high, and leaders rely on TA as a strategic advantage—not a bottleneck. The employer narrative is clear in the market, pipelines are warm, and hiring velocity supports real product and frontline progress
