270 Recruiter/ Account Manager

Company Overview

Our client is a rapidly expanding executive search firm specialising in the life sciences sector, partnering with high-growth biotech, pharma and  medtech organisations across the US.

After a record-breaking year, this firm is now entering a focused growth phase, investing in senior search staffing and recruitment professionals who can strengthen delivery capability and deepen existing client partnerships. Growth is intentional, quality-led, and centred on retained and senior-level mandates rather than volume hiring.

The business is built around trust, accountability, and autonomy. Experienced search recruiters are given visibility, ownership, and the space to do their best work—without the rigid hierarchies or internal bottlenecks often found in larger, more traditional search firms.

The Role and Responsibilities – 270 Recruiter / Account Manager

This role is ideal for a delivery-focused recruiter or account manager who thrives on owning searches, managing senior stakeholders, and delivering consistently high-quality outcomes—without being forced into heavy new business development.

As a 270 Recruiter / Account Manager, you will focus on executing retained senior-level search assignments while acting as a trusted partner to established clients within a defined life sciences vertical.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and delivering retained and senior-level executive search assignments
• Acting as the primary point of contact for key client accounts
• Running end-to-end search delivery across assigned mandates
• Building deep, long-term relationships with existing clients through consistent, high-quality delivery
• Advising clients with credibility and a consultative, market-informed approach
• Partnering closely with senior leadership on account strategy
• Owning candidate management and senior stakeholder communication throughout the process
• Maintaining accurate tracking of assignments, pipeline activity, and delivery performance

This is a delivery and relationship-led role, designed for someone who wants to be recognised for executional excellence and client impact—rather than measured purely on new logo generation.

Skills and Qualifications Needed to Be Successful

This opportunity suits someone who brings:

• Strong experience in executive search, senior recruitment, or a delivery/account management role
• High performance and growth mindset
• Experience operating within life sciences
• A proven track record delivering senior retained search assignments
• Credibility and confidence managing client relationships at a senior level
• Excellent stakeholder communication and candidate management skills
• A structured, detail-oriented approach to search delivery
• Commercial awareness without the pressure of full 360 business development
• A collaborative mindset and comfort operating in a high-performance environment

This role is particularly well suited to recruiters perhaps in larger firms who are exceptional at delivery and client management, but want more visibility, ownership, and progression than their current structure allows.

Value Proposition

• Competitive base salary aligned with experience
• Transparent commission/ bonus structure
• Incentive trips and performance-based rewards
• High-quality retained search infrastructure and tools
• A high performing culture built on trust, respect, and accountability
• Genuine recognition for delivery excellence and client impact

Your contribution will be clearly visible and directly valued within a growing US-focused search business.

The Opportunity

If you are a senior delivery recruiter or account manager within a large recruitment or executive search firm—and feel your contribution is critical but under-recognised—this role offers a chance to focus on what you do best, work closely with high-quality clients, and be part of a firm where performance is genuinely rewarded.
