About Us

We are a high-performance recruitment company specialising in placing elite legal, finance, and data professionals across the United States – with placement fees ranging from $25,000 to $100,000.

With revenues at $4M+ prorate, our mission is to scale to $10M+ over the next two years. The foundations are there – strong brand, proven delivery team, quality clients – but we now need a Number 2 to the Founder who can help us operationalise, hire, and build.

If you're a doer, organiser, and implementor who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to help take a growing business to the next level – this is your opportunity.

Your Mission

To lead the execution of our growth strategy, turning big ideas into scalable systems, hiring the right people, and ensuring the company runs like a machine. You’ll give the Founder the freedom to focus on sales and leadership – while you handle everything else.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Operations & Systems

• Build, improve, and lead business processes and internal systems.
• Create structure and visibility across performance, delivery, and pipeline.
• Drive efficiency through automation, SOPs, and clear accountability.
• Manage basic accounts oversight and reporting with external accountants.

Internal Hiring & Team Building

• Own the internal recruitment process – hiring recruiters, support staff, and offshore talent.
• Build onboarding, training, and performance systems.
• Ensure every hire supports our growth plan and culture.

Execution & Project Ownership

• Translate strategic goals into action plans and outcomes.
• Lead and manage company-wide projects with urgency and discipline.
• Own KPIs, track progress, and drive momentum week to week.

Right Hand to the Director

• Act as a trusted operator and gatekeeper.
• Proactively solve problems, spot bottlenecks, and course-correct.
• Be someone the Director can rely on completely.

What We’re Looking For

• You’ve operated in fast-growth recruitment or sales-led businesses.
• You know how to get things done, build systems, and lead people.
• You’re process-driven, but practical. You don’t overthink – you deliver.
• You’re a great communicator who can manage up and down.
• You want to be part of something big and help build it from the inside out.

What You’ll Get

• A central role in scaling a highly ambitious recruitment business
• The chance to make a lasting impact

This Role Is Not For Everyone

It’s long hours. It’s fast-moving. It’s full of ownership and accountability.

But if you want to be part of an exciting growth journey and build something meaningful alongside a founder with vision and drive — we want to hear from you.
