You will be expected to operate commercially and autonomously, developing new relationships while leveraging TGRC's established international network, market reputation and client base.
Key Responsibilities

- Identify and win new recruitment opportunities through proactive business development, networking, referrals and market mapping
- Manage and grow existing client accounts, identifying opportunities to increase share of wallet
- Source, engage and headhunt mid-to-senior level professionals across specialist energy markets
- Lead recruitment assignments from initial briefing through to offer negotiation and successful placement
- Provide clients with market intelligence, salary insight and advice on talent availability
- Build and maintain a strong network of candidates and industry professionals across Spain and wider European markets
- Develop sector and market maps to identify target companies, talent pools and new business opportunities
- Attend industry conferences, networking events and client meetings to develop relationships and strengthen TGRC's market presence
- Negotiate commercial terms, salaries and offers with clients and candidates
- Work collaboratively with TGRC's wider European and international teams to develop cross-border opportunities
