Lead Consultant SAP (US Market)

Lead Recruitment Consultant – SAP (US Perm)

Location: Blackfriars, London, EC4Y 0DS (Hybrid Working Available)

The Opportunity

X4 Group is a specialist recruitment business founded in 2008, with over 150 employees across our offices in London, New York and Devon. We partner with some of the world’s most innovative organisations across Technology, Engineering, Life Sciences and Alpha, helping businesses secure exceptional talent in highly specialised markets.

We’re investing heavily in our US SAP Perm division, and this isn’t a case of inheriting someone else’s desk. This role is based in our London office, recruiting for clients across the US market.

We’ve built a successful SAP function across the UK and Europe that’s consistently delivering 120–130% of target. Now we’re looking to replicate that success in our highest-growth region.

What makes this role different:

• An existing platform with 5 global MSAs and relationships across 8–10 SIs and consultancies.
• The chance to influence the strategy and direction of our US SAP offering.
• Working alongside our Head of US Contract (currently one of our top US biller) and our Sales Director.
• The backing of a US business generating c.£7m revenue and 65% of Group NFI.
• Commission of up to 50% of billings, banded quarterly and paid monthly, with no threshold.
• A clear route into leadership, or the chance to become a market-leading SAP specialist with significant ownership.

For the right person, this is a chance to build something, shape a market and have a real impact on the growth of a business unit.

The Role

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you’ll take ownership of the US SAP perm market from London, building long-term partnerships with end clients, SIs and consultancies.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the full 360 recruitment lifecycle, from business development through to placement and account management.
• Growing existing MSA and SI relationships while winning new clients across the US.
• Recruiting SAP professionals across functional, technical and S/4HANA transformation roles.
• Sourcing and engaging talent through LinkedIn, networking, referrals and headhunting.
• Advising hiring managers with consultative recruitment solutions and market expertise.
• Managing interview processes, offer negotiations and candidate onboarding.
• Delivering market intelligence, including salary benchmarking, talent mapping and hiring trends.
• Building your personal brand as a trusted SAP recruitment partner in the US market.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll ideally have:

• A proven track record in 360 SAP or ERP recruitment, ideally covering the US market.
• Strong knowledge of the SAP ecosystem, including S/4HANA programmes, SIs and consultancies.
• Demonstrable success in business development and growing key accounts.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
• A consultative approach and a passion for delivering exceptional client and candidate experiences.
• The ambition to build a high-performing desk, and potentially a team.

Why Join X4?

Joining X4 means becoming part of a high-performance business where ambitious recruiters get the autonomy, support and investment to build exceptional careers. Whether you want to become a top biller, own a specialist market or move into leadership, you’ll have the platform to do it.

• Commission of up to 50% of billings, banded quarterly, paid monthly, with no threshold.
• Transparent career progression with clear promotion criteria from day one.
• Coaching and mentorship from experienced recruitment leaders.
• Access to industry-leading recruitment technology, sourcing tools and market intelligence.
• A collaborative, high-performance culture where success is celebrated.
