Senior GTM Recruiter – Technology

The Opportunity

A high‑growth global technology recruitment firm is seeking a Senior Go‑To‑Market (GTM) Recruiter to play a key role in building and scaling a specialist permanent hiring function in the US market. Backed by a large international professional services group and operating across the UK, US and Europe, the business is entering an ambitious growth phase focused on expanding its GTM / Commercial technology recruitment offering in New York. This is a rare chance to join at an inflection point — helping shape a new desk and function from the ground up, with strong leadership backing, significant investment in training and infrastructure, and a clear pathway into future leadership.

The Business

The firm is a global specialist in technology and digital recruitment, partnering with fast‑growing startups, VC‑backed scale‑ups and enterprise technology businesses across Data & Analytics, Software Engineering, ERP, CRM, Cloud, DevOps and Commercial / GTM functions.

• Offices in Manchester (global HQ), New York and Düsseldorf
• Recent acquisition by a global organisational engineering and talent services group, providing:
  • Long‑term financial stability and international backing
  • Expanded client reach and cross‑brand collaboration
  • Increased focus on profitability, permanent recruitment and high‑value hiring lines

A major strategic priority is the development of a high‑performing GTM / permanent recruitment practice in the US.

The Role

Senior individual contributor with strong strategic influence. Responsible for building and owning a specialist GTM recruitment desk focused on placing commercial and revenue‑generating talent into technology businesses — including Sales, Account Management, Partnerships, Marketing and Revenue Leadership roles.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and scale a permanent GTM recruitment desk in the US market
• Partner with founders, CROs, VPs of Sales and leadership teams at high‑growth tech companies
• Develop a high‑quality candidate network across commercial technology roles
• Win new clients through proactive business development and relationship‑led sales
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from client acquisition through placement and account growth
• Contribute to desk strategy, revenue planning and long‑term practice development

Strategic Focus

The GTM practice is a core growth engine for the firm, driven by:

• Increasing client demand for permanent commercial hires with faster ROI
• Expansion into VC‑backed and early‑stage technology ecosystems
• A strategic shift toward higher‑margin, long‑term client partnerships

The successful hire will work at the intersection of business development, strategic hiring and talent advisory, helping clients scale revenue‑generating teams in competitive markets.

What Success Looks Like

• Build a high‑performing permanent GTM desk with consistent deal flow
• Develop a strong client portfolio across startups, scale‑ups and enterprise tech
• Deliver high‑quality placements with repeat business and long‑term partnerships
• Contribute meaningfully to US office revenue and strategic growth plans
• Position for progression into Principal, Lead or Practice Leadership as the function expands

Candidate Profile

The firm seeks an ambitious, commercially minded recruiter with experience in technology permanent recruitment, ideally with exposure to GTM / commercial hiring.

Ideal candidate will have:

• Proven experience recruiting GTM or commercial technology roles (Sales, Revenue, Marketing, Partnerships, Leadership)
• Strong understanding of startup and scale‑up hiring environments (Seed to Series C+)
• Demonstrated business development capability and comfort operating in a BD‑heavy desk
• Track record of building and owning client relationships with senior stakeholders
• High learning agility, resilience and appetite to build something from scratch

Leadership ambition is highly valued — this role is designed for someone who wants to grow into Principal, Lead or Practice Head as the GTM function scales.

Environment & Culture

• Significant investment in training, coaching and professional development
• Clear progression pathways and internal promotion
• Collaborative, team‑oriented working style
• Fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment aligned with the startup ecosystem

The New York office operates a modern hybrid model with strong emphasis on face‑to‑face collaboration, relationship building and market presence.

Why This Role?

• Not a replacement role — it is a build opportunity
• Join a global recruitment business entering a major growth phase
• Work within a newly prioritised GTM practice with leadership backing
• Role offers autonomy, visibility and strategic importance
• Platform with genuine long‑term leadership potential

For a senior recruiter looking to accelerate their career by building a high‑impact GTM desk in the US market, this represents a highly compelling opportunity.
