Job description

Senior Recruitment Consultant – Ecommerce Perm Desk

London | 3 days a week in office

£32,000 - £43,000 depending on experience + commission

*This is a 360 recruitment agency role with business development, not an internal position.

As the UK’s most influential talent agency within the Creative and Marketing industries, Major Players’ talent partners connect exceptional talent with some of the most sought-after brands and agencies across our industries ranging from huge networks to young and impactful start-ups.

Online spend keeps climbing, brands keep going D2C and every retailer is racing to catch up. Ecommerce isn't just growing, it's rewriting how brands sell full stop. We are looking for someone to build out a desk in this space.

We're looking for someone who wants to build a career recruiting in this space, joining our marketing perm division while carving out their own patch.

What you'll actually be doing:

You’ll be running your own 360 desk, which means sourcing, pitching, interviewing, negotiating, and closing, placing brilliant people into brilliant permanent roles like Ecommerce Managers and Head of Ecommerce.

One day you're placing a trading manager for a fast-growing D2C brand, the next you're helping a retailer build out their ecommerce team. No two weeks look the same.

What we're looking for:

• Experience in a 360 recruitment consultant role and can evidence business development wins and strong billing
• Someone who's genuinely interested in ecommerce and digital retail and cares about this world, don't need to have recruited for this market previously
• Someone who takes ownership of their role and outcomes with high accountability
• Someone with resilience, and can own relationships internally and with clients and candidates
• Someone forward thinking who can utilise automations and AI in their processes

We live by four values: Be Trusted, Be Proud, Be Bold, and Be Human. In practice that means you'll do what you say you're going to do, celebrating every win, embracing bold moves, and genuinely caring about the people we work with.

What's in it for you?

• Unlimited holiday allowance and Christmas shutdown
• £1,000 annual flexible benefits allowance (health, wellbeing, travel, and more)
• Up to 35% commission plus performance bonuses
• Industry-leading tech stack (Bullhorn, LinkedIn Recruiter, Sourcewhale, Aircall, CoPilot, Analytics)
• High achiever incentives - quarterly lunch clubs and trips abroad
• Beautiful Shoreditch office with rooftop access, onsite gym and dog-friendly space

Major Players is an equal opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity.

Please make us aware of any reasonable adjustments that may be required throughout the interview process and to support you in the role.
