We're hiring a Team Lead GTM / Technical Sales Recruiter to launch a tech sales function within an AI team. You will be helping clients hire the people who drive revenue, like Sales, Marketing, Partnerships, Pre-Sales, Customer Success.

Off the back of the AI team's success, demand in this space is growing fast. These roles are critical to getting AI products into customers' hands and most clients are struggling to find talent fluent in both tech and commercial.

If you're already recruiting in GTM or tech sales (SaaS, cyber, dev tools, etc.) and want to break into AI, this is your opportunity. You don't need to be an expert on day one, the established ML, data, software, and infra teams will help you ramp up fast.

Why AI?

• Outputs > inputs. Be part of a business who trust the team, you're brought on because you're capable of growing a desk your way. No micromanaging or pushing pointless KPIs.
• High-conversion BD. In this market, clients value expertise and actively seek your input. This means making fewer cold calls and achieve higher close rates.
• Real expertise to leverage. The businesses AI consultants have on average 7 years of experience, so you won't find a better group to learn this market from.
• True collaboration. Regular cross-team knowledge shares to dissect wins, share market insights, and sharpen each other's knowledge.
• End-to-end AI coverage. From research & ML to infra, robotics, and now GTM, you will be part of building the most complete AI recruitment offering in the industry.

What you'll do:

• Own and grow the GTM vertical within AI.
• Work closely with other high performing AI Team Leaders to continue our growth in the AI space.
• Build an elite network of and place roles like Enterprise AE, Customer Success, Product Marketing, Partner Leads through to Exec / VP levels.
• Sell a true end-to-end recruitment solution to prospective AI clients.
• Build relationships with early-stage start-ups & Series A-C AI companies who need to show traction.
• Map talent across Gen AI, Defence AI, Robotics & Autonomous Systems, Bio AI and more.
• Lead and develop your own team of specialists – hiring strategy is to hire experienced consultants who already have relevant experience.
• Handle full 360: BD, sourcing, negotiation, post-placement.

Experience required:

• Proven 360 recruiter in GTM or tech sales markets.
• Proven leadership / management experience.
• Interest in AI and willingness to learn fast.
• Most clients are start-ups, so being able to talk GTM and team structure with both founders and hiring managers is key.
• Confidence to build a niche desk in an exploding space.
• Openness to work with the wider team to stay at the forefront of recruitment techniques.
• Collaboration is key; join a team that supports each other and recognizes we are stronger together. An openness to collaboration is vital to us.
• Long term ambition to build and be a key part of something special.

What We Offer:

• Highly established and recognized AI brand to leverage.
• A highly experienced & driven wider team to learn from.
• Ambitious culture that isn't afraid to innovate.
• Warm clients in AI and related markets.
• Commission structure up to 30%.
• Clear progression route to Directorship.
• Hybrid/remote flexibility as standard.
• A team-first environment with regular incentives, lunch clubs, and training.

This isn't a backfill role. You'll be launching a new commercial desk in one of the most active hiring spaces in tech. If you know GTM recruitment and want to break into AI, this is your lane.
