  • Represent Shield AI at military hiring events, transition fairs, and on-base engagements

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2 years recruiting veteran or transitioning military talent

  • Hands-on experience with DoW SkillBridge, Hiring Our Heroes, or comparable military fellowship programs

  • Working knowledge of military career paths, ratings, and qualifications, and how they translate to civilian roles

  • Experience partnering with HR, Legal, or Security on compliance-sensitive hiring workflows

  • Proficiency with an ATS and reporting on pipeline and conversion metrics

  • Excellent written and verbal communication; you represent Shield AI credibly to service members, transition offices, and hiring leaders

  • Willingness to travel for military hiring events and on-base engagements

Preferred Qualifications:
