Director of Business Development

Our client is a high‑growth specialist recruitment brand, with a proven record of scaling in-demand verticals across technology, finance, and professional services. Backed by global infrastructure but operating with startup agility, they are now expanding into the US market with a dedicated focus on AI, machine learning, data, and emerging technologies.

This is your chance to join at the ground floor of a US build‑out — with the financial support of a global parent company and the entrepreneurial freedom to shape and own a market from scratch.

As a Business Development Director, you will lead the charge in expanding this recruitment brand across the US. This is a market‑entry role for someone entrepreneurial, strategic, and hungry to build.

• Driving new client acquisition across AI/ML, data, and technology markets
• Developing strategic partnerships and landing high‑value deals with senior leaders
• Representing the brand at industry events, conferences, and networking functions
• Collaborating with a UK‑based delivery team while building a local US resourcing function
• Setting the vision for expansion into multiple US locations over the next few years

• Proven background in recruitment sales and business development, with a track record of winning new accounts
• Experience in market‑entry roles or building new books of business from the ground up
• Knowledge of technology, AI/ML, or data recruitment is a plus (but not essential for commercially sharp leaders)
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the grit to balance billing and business building
• Strong relationship builder, confident representing the business with C‑suite leaders
• Based in the Northeast US (NY/MA preferred), though flexibility is available for the right candidate

• Competitive base salary with performance‑based commission
• Equity and profit share opportunities tied directly to US growth
• Hybrid work model with client‑facing flexibility
• Backing of a financially strong global group, with the autonomy of a boutique startup environment

If you’re a proven business builder ready to lead market entry, this is your opportunity to own a vertical, grow a brand, and directly share in the success you create. Join a business where innovation, ambition, and entrepreneurship are rewarded — and where your efforts will shape the future of AI/ML recruitment in the US.
