Job description

Market Lead (Branch Manager) Ottawa - Workforce Solutions | Drake International

You've been closing deals, managing your desk, and outperforming quota. Ready to run the business instead of just working in it?

Drake International is looking for a Branch Manager - someone who's spent years as a top perm or flex staffing consultant and is ready to trade a book of business for a P&L. You'll drive sales, build the team you wish you'd worked for, own the client relationships that matter most, and set the strategy for your market.

Why consultants make the jump:

• Full P&L ownership - your market, your numbers, your call
• Lead the team you used to be on: recruit, coach, and develop consultants and BDMs
• Keep the client relationships you've built, now as Executive Sponsor
• Trade commission ceiling for control of the markets bottom line

What gets you there:

• 5+ years of B2B sales experience in the staffing industry
• Proven track record hitting revenue and profit targets
• The instinct to coach, not just close
• Financial literacy - you'll own a budget, not just a target

If you've outgrown your desk, this is the next move.

Drake International - a global leader in staffing and HR solutions.
