About Next Play Jobs

At Next Play Jobs, we’re redefining what it means to build a career—and a company—by creating lasting relationships.

Our mission is to be the last job for our employees, and the first call for our clients.

The Role: Market Lead (Sales)

As a Market Lead, you’ll take ownership of driving new business and building meaningful client partnerships in a wide-open, nationwide territory.

• Sell direct hire and contract solutions across all industries and verticals—no restrictions
• Build strong, long-term relationships with clients that are based on trust, value, and delivery
• Collaborate closely with our recruiting team to ensure smooth, high-impact execution
• Identify market trends and contribute ideas to help shape how we grow
• Represent the Next Play brand with energy, integrity, and confidence

Who You Are:

• 5+ years of staffing and recruiting sales experience with a proven track record of success
• Consultative, relationship-driven, and fearless when it comes to picking up the phone or walking into a meeting
• Excited by startup culture and motivated by autonomy and real impact
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, taking initiative, and iterating as you go
• A natural connector with excellent communication, persuasion, and problem-solving skills

What You’ll Get:

• Uncapped earning potential through competitive base + commission structure
• Full ownership of a nationwide, industry-agnostic territory
• A chance to join a startup that’s going places—and shape what that looks like
• Leadership that listens, a team that supports, and a culture built on trust and bold thinking
