• Mentor and empower team leads, instilling a client-first, results-driven ethos.
• Drive market presence and client acquisition across UK and Europe.

Ideal Profile:

• Proven track record in a senior leadership role within a top-tier UK-based financial services recruitment firm.
• Deep understanding of financial services, project-based hiring, and technology talent trends.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience in strategic transformation and turnaround.
• Excellent people leadership skills with a coaching style and cultural sensitivity.
