Recruiting Coordinator (Contract)

Apex Technology, Inc.•Los Angeles, CA

10d•$28 - $37•Onsite

About The Position

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge. For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles. Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more. We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet. About the Role We're looking for a Recruiting Coordinator to help the engine behind the hiring run smoothly: owning interview scheduling end-to-end, hosting and touring candidates on-site, running reporting out of Ashby, and supporting our recruiting events. This is a contract role with a strong opportunity to convert to full-time - several members of our team have joined Apex this way, moving from temp to perm. Apex is now just over 400 full-time employees, having more than doubled over the last year, and we're looking to add another 200-300 talented humans in the next year.

Exceptional organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage complex scheduling and competing priorities.
Strong judgment and the ability to independently troubleshoot problems and determine the best path forward.
A process-oriented mindset and a natural instinct to ask how something can be made simpler, faster, or more effective.
A high degree of ownership and comfort operating in an environment where not every process has already been defined.
Must meet ITAR (U.S. person) requirements.
