It's time to build something bigger.

We're looking for a proven recruitment leader to take ownership of a high-performing technology business within an established global financial services recruitment firm. This is not a step away from recruitment and into pure management. It's a player-coach leadership opportunity for someone who wants to keep winning commercially while building a team, growing strategic accounts and increasing their earning potential.

The tech desk is already significantly ahead of annual target, with multiple record months achieved in 2026 and established enterprise relationships creating substantial additional opportunity.

The Practice Director will lead from the front, combining personal production, strategic client development and team leadership to accelerate growth across the New York market.

Role Highlights

Lead, grow and develop a high-performing Technology team focusing on the Insurance tech sector, with real input into who joins it as the desk scales.
Continue to personally bill while creating new revenue through senior-level relationships
Own and expand strategic enterprise accounts across Insurance Technology
Work alongside dedicated enterprise sales and key account teams to unlock cross-selling opportunities
Help shape future team growth, desk strategy and the wider leadership structure

You Will Need

A proven personal billing record and genuine commercial drive
A track record of growing a desk or team, not just managing one that was already built for you
Technology recruitment experience required, exposure to the insurance tech sector is strongly preferred
Experience leading teams or pods of approximately 4–8 consultants
The confidence to win enterprise relationships, develop markets and generate demand rather than wait for vacancies

Why You’ll Love It

$115,000–$140,000 base salary, with flexibility for exceptional candidates
25% commission up to threshold and 35% at higher billing levels, plus leadership/team override opportunities
Join a business with multiple $1m–$2m billers and four consultants who billed $300k+ in Q2 alone
Clear progression beyond VP level, with genuine scope to build teams and shape the business
Healthcare, PTO, incentive trips, lunch clubs and best-in-class learning and development
Relocation support available for experienced recruiters, including visa sponsorship and setup assistance

This is for someone who doesn’t want to manage from the sidelines. You’ll have the platform, accounts and infrastructure to perform, and the freedom to build on them.

If you’re a strong biller, a credible leader and ambitious enough to want more than a title, this is a conversation worth having.
