With a strong reputation in Insurance, Financial Services, and broader transformation projects across the UK and Europe, they’re looking to grow their client-focused sales function with individuals who love building relationships and winning business.

This is not a people management role—it’s ideal for 180-style sales professionals who thrive on bringing in new clients and delivering consultative recruitment solutions, without being bogged down in candidate delivery (which is handled by a dedicated team).

The Role:

• Join a client-facing team focused on Technology, Data, and Business Change .
• Operate within large-scale transformation programs, particularly within Insurance and Financial Services .
• Build and manage client relationships across key UK and EU markets, including opportunities to specialise in Scandinavia or Danish markets .

• Focused on Tech, Data, and Change across the UK and Europe , with a growing presence in Scandinavia.
• Strong leadership team with a clear, long-term vision—backed by co-founders with proven success.
• Sales team performance: £500k+ per head average .

Who They’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a sales-focused recruitment role (2–3+ years minimum) .
• Strong understanding of the tech, data, or change markets—experience in Insurance or Financial Services is a bonus but not essential.
• A natural business developer who can win clients , build accounts, and convert relationships into revenue.
• Confident navigating complex client environments with a consultative approach.
• Self-driven, commercially astute, and looking to grow in a supportive but ambitious culture.

Commission & Culture:

• Commission starts at 25% after hitting an initial 12-month threshold.
• 25% flat comms on full 360 deals.
• Monthly payouts with a clear, achievable structure.
• Mature, flexible environment with a strong focus on relationships over micromanagement .
• Team includes experienced professionals with families—flexibility and output are valued over presenteeism.
• Lunch clubs, incentives, international markets—and a path to earning £100k+ OTE .

If you’re a recruiter who loves winning new clients, wants to work in a mature, high-performing environment, and sees the long game in relationship-based recruitment—this is a unique opportunity to be part of something exciting.
