Your Responsibilities Will Include:
- Lead and scale our permanent recruitment division
- Develop and execute a strategy to increase revenue, market share and client growth
- Build, hire, manage and develop high performing recruitment teams
- Set commercial and performance strategy across the division
- Drive new business and develop key client relationships
- Identify new markets, sectors and opportunities for growth
- Coach and develop recruitment leaders and consultants
- Establish a high performance culture focused on delivery, quality and results
- Monitor performance, identify opportunities and take action to improve results
- Work closely with senior leadership to shape wider business strategy
