🚀 A Brand-New National Security Division at Matchtech: And You Can Build It.


How many chances do you get to build a brandnew division - with serious investment behind you?


In recruitment, “new role” often means it’s not really new.

This isn’t remotely that.


We’re doing something genuinely big here.

Matchtech 🤝 Infosec


And for the first time, we’re building a National Security division from the ground up.

Yep. A whole new division. Backed, funded, and taken seriously at the highest level.


And here’s the fun part:

👉 We’re looking for someone who actually wants to build it, lead it and own it.


🔐 Why we’re doing this

Matchtech already dominate in Defence.

Infosec are a boutique cyber powerhouse.


Put those two together and you get something pretty special:


A brand-new National Security division with the heritage, clients and credibility to scale fast.


This isn’t just UKIC DV work.


This is a broad, highvalue National Security + Defence Cyber remit with existing NFI already exceeding £100K ready to transition straight in.

In other words…

You’re not starting from zero.

You’re starting from traction.


🧱 What makes this role different

This is not your typical recruitment role.

This is a “grow it, shape it, make it yours” opportunity.


Here’s what we’re putting on the table:

🔥 Freedom to shape the entire National Security offering

🔥 Ability to lift and bring a team (up to 4 to start)

🔥 Leadership development

🔥 Guaranteed commission so your earnings don’t dip while you build

🔥 Milestone payments because we’re backing this properly

🔥 Direct leadership from Ben Craig (MD of Infosec)

🔥 Matchtech brand power for maximum credibility


We even explored acquisition routes (not our number one plan) just to show how committed we are to building something big here.


This won’t sit in the corner of the business gathering dust.

This becomes your baby - with full support, not full pressure.


🏗️ What you’ll actually lead

This role sits at the intersection of:

* National Security
* Defence Cyber
* Critical infrastructure
* Government and secure projects


Basically, the stuff that matters.

And the space where skilled recruiters can make huge impact and even bigger earnings.


👀 So… who’s this for?

If you’re an experienced recruiter in:

✔ Cyber

✔ Defence

✔ National Security

✔ Securecleared markets

✔ Or even just someone who gets this world and wants to build something of their own…


Then this could be the move.


If you’ve ever thought:

“I could build a better division if someone would just trust me to do it…”

Then yes. This is very likely for you.


☕ Fancy 20 minutes to see what it really looks like?

No pressure. Just a conversation with our Director to explore whether this is:

* Interesting for you
* Right for your future
* Or even an opportunity for you and a small team


And of course, my inbox is always open too!


Please note: Location is negotiable. We have offices in Whiteley, Southampton, Cheltenham, Reading and London
