The 5-year plan is that our client will become a multi-US office operation and market leader in the US tech recruitment space.

The Recruitment Manager will join a small team (initially) so we are looking for someone who is as comfortable ‘in the weeds’ as they are focused on strategy and bigger picture thinking. You’ll understand the local tech market, the nuances within it and will have defined effective routes to market.

Naturally you’ll need to be a highly effective leader of people used to coaching, motivating and developing the current and future leaders of the business. You will have managed and grown a P&L and be influential on business processes with core experience in the US market ideally in Austin Texas.

You’ll have responsibility and oversight working alongside the Co-Founder across their entire US division managing full P&L and be directly responsible for growing and scaling a team with plans to get to 50+ head count over the next 5 years.

Our client covers purely tech markets across the UK as well as Europe and US.

You will be driving and supporting the business strategy and integral to the success of the US division by driving best practices, best processes and the retention and growth of existing customers as well as the winning and the strategy of new customers.

You’ll live & breathe the their Values and grow and develop upon our existing and new routes to market. The community is at the heart of everything they do as a modern and forward thinking BCORP certified business via tech meetups and events, codebar, women rock and other company initiatives we successfully operate in the UK at present.

They operate in both the private and public sector tech market’s, so you need to be comfortable setting the strategy and having conversations with consultants and clients in both markets as well as evidence of partnering with US MSP clients.
