This role is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations.

As a member of our executive recruiting team, you'll serve as a strategic partner to executive leaders at Blue and the candidates who will shape our futurenot just a scheduler. This is a high-judgment role where you'll orchestrate complex, confidential hiring processes for VP and C-suite leaders.

The leaders you help hire will define Blue's strategy, safety culture, and mission success.

Your work directly enables executive recruiters to focus on search strategy while you own flawless execution and proactive problem-solving.
