As a key driver of our "Split Desk" model, you own the strategic client relationship – identifying and expanding opportunities for contract, project‑based, and specialized talent solutions – while partnering with a dedicated recruiting team that handles the candidate delivery. This is a pivotal role for a technical professional looking to transition their expertise into a high‑impact, commercial leadership career.
