Join One of the World’s Leading Specialist Recruitment Firms and Take Ownership of a High-Potential Technology Contract Business
About Gravitas
Founded in 2010, Gravitas Group has grown from three founders into an international, award-winning recruitment business with over 200 employees across London, Leeds, Manchester, Frankfurt, Rotterdam, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore.
We specialise in Technology and Insurance recruitment and continue to grow globally, driven by our core values of Respect, Integrity, Passion, and Excellence.
The Opportunity
We're looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial Business Manager to take ownership of a well-established Technology Contract division in our London headquarters.
This is an opportunity for someone who thrives on autonomy, enjoys making decisions, and wants the freedom to build a business within a business. You'll inherit a strong platform, established client relationships, and a recognised brand, but how you grow the market, develop your team, and expand revenue is ultimately in your hands.
If you're currently feeling restricted by layers of approval, limited influence, or a lack of ownership, this role offers the chance to step into a genuine leadership position where your impact will be visible from day one.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Owning and driving the performance of a Technology Contract business area within the London market.
- Developing and executing your own growth strategy, identifying new opportunities and expanding existing client partnerships.
- Leading from the front through business development, networking, and market engagement.
- Building, coaching, and developing a high-performing team of recruitment consultants.
- Creating a culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence.
- Managing team performance across productivity, revenue, and development metrics.
- Working closely with senior leadership while maintaining the autonomy to make commercial decisions within your market.
- Acting as a brand ambassador for Gravitas and championing our core values.
What We're Looking For
- Proven success within a 360 recruitment environment, ideally within Technology Contract recruitment.
- Experience managing or mentoring consultants and driving team performance.
- A strong track record of business development and client relationship management.
- Commercial acumen with the ability to identify and capitalise on market opportunities.
- A natural leader who enjoys empowering others while maintaining high standards.
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to own outcomes rather than simply execute instructions.
- Ambition to progress into senior leadership and play a key role in the future growth of Gravitas.
