Billing Director – US Construction Recruitment

Build. Lead. Own.

London | £70,000 Basic + Commission + Bonus + Growth Shares | US Relocation Opportunity

An established specialist recruitment business with a proven track record within the Construction sector is embarking on its next major growth opportunity: launching and building a specialist US construction recruitment business from its London headquarters.

We are looking for an experienced US Construction Recruitment Director to become the founding leader of this operation.

The Opportunity

This successful business already works with clients who operate across the US, with a handful of existing relationships and live mandates providing an initial platform.

However, this is fundamentally a greenfield opportunity.

The vision is ambitious: to build a US recruitment business that has the potential to become larger than the existing UK operation.

Your initial focus will be on identifying and developing the strongest market opportunity across:

• Texas
• Florida
• New York

You’ll have the autonomy to shape the market strategy around your own experience, network and knowledge of the US construction sector.

Your Role

Initially, this is a hands-on billing leadership role.

You’ll be expected to develop clients, win business, manage mandates and build a strong candidate network while establishing the foundations of the US operation.

As the business grows, your remit will evolve from individual billing to building and leading a team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing the US construction market
• Winning new clients and developing existing relationships
• Managing and delivering live mandates
• Building a high-quality candidate network
• Establishing the most successful US market and sector strategy
• Developing the recruitment proposition
• Hiring and mentoring additional consultants
• Building the culture and structure of the US division
• Taking responsibility for the growth and performance of the operation

The Backing

Although the operation is new, you won’t be building it alone.

The MD will make the investment required to launch and grow the US business, while providing access to the infrastructure already supporting the UK operation.

You’ll have the benefit of:

Investment – The UK business is funding the launch and growth of the US operation.

Back-office support – Accounts, payroll and administration will be handled by the existing business.

Marketing support – You’ll have access to established marketing resources.

Existing relationships – There are already US clients and live recruitment mandates to provide an initial platform.

An established recruitment model – You’ll be taking a specialist niche that has already been successful in the UK and applying it to the much larger US market.

Package & Rewards

£70,000 Basic Salary

Plus an attractive, zero-threshold commission structure designed to reward high performance from your first billings.

• 10% commission from your first $1 of billings
• Commission increases to 20% on monthly billings above $15,000
• 40% super bonus on annual billings above $350,000
• Quarterly and annual bonus opportunity
• £25,000 additional bonus opportunity for achieving $250,000 in annual billings
• Realistic first-year OTE of approximately £130,000

And the opportunity doesn’t stop at your personal billings.

As you build the division and the team, there is significant potential for your earnings to increase.

The Bigger Opportunity

For the right individual, this is much more than a recruitment job.

The long-term vision is to establish a significant US recruitment business and ultimately relocate the operation to the US.

That creates a genuine career path towards US Managing Director

There is also the potential to participate in the future success of the business through shares in the US operation.

For an ambitious recruitment professional, this means the opportunity to build something substantial rather than spend the next five years operating beneath layers of management.

Build the business. Build the team. Build your career. Potentially own part of what you create.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced US construction recruiter who has reached the point in their career where they want greater autonomy, responsibility, and financial upside.

You will need a proven track record of billing within the US construction recruitment market and a genuine understanding of how to develop business within the sector.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who wants to build rather than inherit.

You’ll be commercially driven, entrepreneurial and comfortable operating autonomously.
