Your Role 

Whether you are a recruiter ready to make the move in-house and see the real impact of your work, or a Talent Manager looking for a new challenge? We are seeking a People & Talent Associate, where you’ll help shape the teams behind cutting-edge satellite technology, advanced data & analytics, and world-class operations.

Reporting directly to our Talent Manager, you’ll be hands-on in finding, engaging, and hiring the exceptional people who power our innovation. This is a high-ownership role where you’ll gain full visibility of the hiring lifecycle — and help us build and refine the systems that scale our growth. This role is offered on a 12-month fixed-term contract with a view to becoming permanent depending on performance.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Recruitment: Support and lead recruitment across a range of roles — from satellite engineers to data scientists and operations specialists — managing sourcing, outreach, interviewing, and offer processes.

• Strategic Collaboration: Partner closely with the Talent Manager and hiring leads to define hiring needs, shape job briefs, and align on recruitment strategy.

• Headhunting & Talent Pipelining: Use your agency-honed sourcing skills to proactively identify and engage top talent across technical and commercial disciplines.

• Candidate Experience: Deliver a smooth, engaging, and inclusive hiring journey that showcases our mission and culture.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with teams across satellite technology, data & analytics, and operations to understand their work and build pipelines that support their long-term success.
