Job description

Senior Government Recruitment Specialist – Business Development Focus

Elliott Gray is a 100% female-owned, locally operated boutique recruitment firm based in Canberra. As an SME, we’re uniquely positioned under the Commonwealth Procurement Rules to become a leading partner to the Australian Government, and we’re looking for an experienced professional to help us make that happen.

Why Join Us?

• We are an approved supplier on the People Panel (both phases) and the AFP Capability Services Panel, giving you access to multiple government pathways.
• We specialise in non-ICT recruitment categories, with strong networks and a reputation for delivery.
• Our back-office is fully automated, integrated with CRM and analytics, freeing you to focus on growth.
• You’ll have the support of:
• A social media specialist for tailored campaigns
• A finance manager for payroll and compliance
• An operations expert to ensure smooth delivery

The Opportunity

This is a business development leadership role with full autonomy to grow our government portfolio. You’ll have:

• Uncapped commission based on portfolio performance
• The option to work remotely or from our Canberra office
• The ability to own your P&L and build your empire, or focus solely on delivery if leadership isn’t your preference
• Equity options and long-term career pathway

Who We’re Looking For

• A seasoned recruitment ... client in a commercial recruitment environment
• Evidence of longevity and consistent performance
• Ideally, someone whose existing client base has been impacted by recent procurement changes and is ready to leverage our SME advantage

Why Now?

The timing couldn’t be better. With procurement changes opening doors for SMEs, this is your chance to take control of government growth in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment.
