• Receive up to 40% of billings in commission, totally uncapped
• Clear progression into Senior Leadership as we continue to scale
• Full autonomy to shape and grow your Consumer specialism
• Investment in training, development and leadership coaching
• A respected brand with deep capability across the Consumer industry
• Hybrid working and a culture built around high performance and collaboration

What you'll be doing:

• Leading and developing a growing team within the Consumer specialism

• Building long-term partnerships across the Consumer and FMCG landscape
• Playing a key role in the continued growth of the Sales & Marketing Division
• Acting as a senior voice in shaping our Consumer strategy and future direction

Who we're looking for:

A proven 360 recruiter with experience in Consumer, FMCG or a related commercial market. You'll bring a track record of consistent billing, strong commercial judgement, and the ambition to step into a bigger platform with genuine leadership responsibility.
