Executive Recruiting Coordinator Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! 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 future—not just a scheduler. This is a high-judgment role where you'll orchestrate complex, confidential hiring processes for VP and C‑suite leaders, make independent decisions that protect executive stakeholder time, anticipate risks before they materialize, and solve problems in real‑time while maintaining the confidentiality and precision these searches demand.

The leaders you help hire will define Blue's strategy, safety culture, and mission success. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, identify process risks, and elevate strategically when you need partnership (not permission). Your work directly enables executive recruiters to focus on search strategy while you own flawless execution and proactive problem‑solving. You'll work closely with executive recruiters, senior leaders, executive assistants, and external search firms to deliver a seamless, premium candidate experience. If you thrive in ambiguity, can think several steps ahead, and want ownership over mission‑critical work with direct C‑suite impact, this is your role.

Application Close Date:

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

Responsibilities

Exercise strategic judgment in executive interview orchestration: design and manage end‑to‑end processes for VP and C‑suite candidates—making independent decisions about scheduling priorities, risk mitigation, and when to elevate.

Protect executive stakeholder time through proactive decision‑making: navigate competing calendar demands, decide when to hold firm or flex, and handle conflicts with escalation or creative problem‑solving.

Serve as trusted advisor for candidate experience: anticipate candidate needs, troubleshoot day‑of issues, coordinate travel and accommodations with concierge‑level service, and make judgment calls that reflect Blue's mission and values.

Own operational excellence and process integrity: maintain accurate Workday data, create detailed agendas, prepare for pre‑brief and debrief meetings, and flag process risks to executive recruiters before they impact outcomes.

Uphold confidentiality as a strategic imperative: handle sensitive candidate information, NDAs, references, and executive‑level communications with discretion and mature judgment.

Partner strategically on continuous improvement: contribute to initiatives that elevate executive hiring operations, bringing insights from your frontline experience to drive improvements in interviewer readiness, cycle time, and candidate experience.

Demonstrated high‑judgment decision‑making: proven ability to work independently, anticipate risks, identify solutions proactively, and elevate strategically in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments.

Mastery of complex stakeholder management: expert‑level multi‑time zone scheduling, calendar orchestration with senior executives and EAs, and managing competing priorities with diplomacy and urgency.

Technical proficiency: advanced Microsoft Outlook (calendaring), Teams/Zoom, Word, Excel, PowerPoint; experience with Workday or comparable ATS platforms.

Exceptional communication and discretion: polished written and verbal skills, meticulous attention to detail, and trusted partner for confidential executive‑level information.

High school diploma or GED.

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience coordinating executive interviews (VP/C‑suite) in aerospace/defense, advanced manufacturing, or high‑growth technology companies.
