Build, Own & Lead the South Coast A&F Market — with Real Backing

This is a rare opportunity to take full commercial ownership of the Accountancy & Finance specialism across the South Coast with Reed, the UK’s most established recruitment brand.

You’ll inherit a warm, revenue‑generating desk with long‑standing clients, strong brand recognition, and significant space for growth. Once established, you’ll have the autonomy and support to build your own team and grow a high‑performing division around you.

Whether you’re a proven Recruitment Manager or a top‑billing Senior Consultant ready for leadership, this role offers scale, stability, and genuine earning upside.

The Role

• Full ownership of the Accountancy & Finance market across the South Coast
• Run a successful 360 desk (perm, contract & temp finance)
• Maximise revenue from existing clients while expanding market share
• Develop and execute clear BD and growth strategies
• Position yourself as the regional A&F expert with clients and candidates
• Work alongside senior leadership to build a team once revenue milestones are reached

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success in 360 recruitment (A&F or another white‑collar/professional market)
• Strong commercial awareness and confidence owning a market
• A track record of billing, BD, and relationship development
• Ambition to step into — or continue — leadership
• A professional, values‑driven approach aligned with fairness, ownership, and collaboration

What You Get

• Uncapped commission paid on personal and future team billings
• Clear progression with salary reviews every six months
• Structured leadership development (commercial strategy, team build, P&L mindset)
• Industry‑leading tech, AI tools, and the UK’s largest candidate database
• Car allowance + enhanced annual leave
• Sabbaticals every 5 years & extended paid leave at long‑service milestones
• Annual luxury holiday draw
• Inclusive culture with high performance
