Jason La BarberaFor Joby · September 2026
01 / What I see

One talent team.
Different kinds of demand.

Engineering and manufacturing deserve early attention.

The observation: In the September research snapshot, 183 of 218 requisitions were classified as engineering/autonomy or manufacturing.

The implication: I would start discovery there, then validate urgency and approved demand with the business. Posting counts alone cannot tell us the priority.

Air Operations needs its own planning conversation.

The observation: The research identifies Air Operations recruiting ownership alongside technical and manufacturing hiring.

The implication: Work with those owners to understand how candidate supply, start dates, training and operational requirements connect.

There is experience to build on.

The observation: Public profiles show technical sourcing, executive search, recruiting operations and leadership experience.

The implication: Learn where the team is effective and what gets in its way before proposing a new structure.
