About the role

Quartermaster AI is hiring a Recruiter for G&A (business-side) roles in Arlington, VA, on-site Full Time. Quartermaster builds SmartMast, a distributed open-ocean sensing and compute platform for defense and commercial maritime customers, and describes itself as a fast-growing team solving hard problems at sea while expanding its hiring team.

Looking for: a few years hiring for business roles like finance, legal, HR, or operations; comfort owning a pipeline with limited supervision; experience running a consistent interview process; some experience helping close offers, not only sourcing; strong communication and close manager partnership; ATS/hiring-tool experience; startup or fast-growth experience a plus.
