Space Technology · Charter Space
A space missions company needed to build out a highly specialised engineering team, but couldn't reach the right talent through traditional channels.
The requirements were extremely niche, sitting at the intersection of mission planning software and aerospace engineering. Vega mapped the landscape, shaped the roles in real time as the team's needs evolved, and delivered candidates that matched both the technical depth and culture of a fast-moving space startup.
→ Multiple engineering hires placed. Team scaled to hit key mission milestones.
AI / Healthcare · Alaffia Health
An LLM healthcare infrastructure company needed several leadership hires across engineering, while simultaneously strengthening how they hire internally.
The challenge was both strategic and operational: deliver key leaders into a complex technical environment, and build the internal processes so the company could recruit at scale without ongoing dependency on external search. Vega worked as a strategic partner, refining role definitions, calibrating profiles, and improving the broader hiring capability.
→ All leadership roles filled. Internal hiring processes rebuilt for scale.
Aerospace & Defence · Lodestar Space
A national-security-critical space company needed commercial leadership that could operate across defence and the emerging space economy.
The brief required an unusual profile: someone who understood USG partnerships and defence procurement, but could also drive commercial dual-use growth. Vega challenged the initial thinking, refined the brief, and identified talent from adjacent sectors that the company wouldn't have considered.
→ Commercial leader placed. Helped reframe the company's go-to-market across defence and commercial space.
Space Technology · New Orbit Space
A growing space company needed to map the global commercial talent landscape as it expanded into new markets.
Scaling internationally meant understanding talent pools across multiple geographies: who was available, what compensation looked like in each market, and which candidates could operate in a cross-border environment. Vega combined strategic market intelligence with hands-on execution to secure hires the company wouldn't have reached alone.
→ Key hires secured across new markets. Global talent map established for future hiring.
