Job Title: Sales Manager or Director – Technology / IT Recruitment
Location: London
Level: Director
Salary: Up to £60,000 base + commission / bonus
The Opportunity
Our client, a specialist recruitment and search firm, is hiring a Sales Director to lead and grow its Technology / IT recruitment offering.
This role exists because demand has outgrown the current commercial structure. The business needs a senior sales leader who can win new clients, build long-term partnerships, and bring consistency to business development — not someone focused purely on managing legacy accounts.
If you’re currently leading sales, carrying a target, and still doing too much hands-on work without real influence, this role gives you clearer ownership and authority.
The Role
* Own and drive new business across Technology / IT recruitment
* Win and develop long-term client partnerships
* Lead senior sales conversations with CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Engineering, and IT leaders
* Shape commercial strategy, pricing, and sales process with leadership
* Build and support a high-performing sales function
* Work closely with delivery teams to ensure strong client outcomes
This is a hands-on leadership role with real accountability.
What Sets This Firm Apart
* Established presence in Tech / IT recruitment
* Autonomy and trust at director level
* Focus on sustainable, long-term client relationships
* London or remote working
* Clear progression and long-term incentive potential
* Straightforward, low-ego culture
You’re brought in to build — not to inherit problems.
Who They’re Looking For
* Proven experience in recruitment sales
* Strong background in Technology / IT recruitment
* Track record of winning new business
* Comfortable operating at senior stakeholder level
* Commercial, credible, and delivery-aware
This is not a junior leadership role.
What’s On Offer
* Up to £60,000 base salary (DOE)
* Commission and performance bonus
* London or remote working
* Director-level autonomy and influence
* Long-term growth opportunity
