Director of Sales, IT Contract Staffing
Job Description
Our client, a London-based specialized IT contract staffing firm, is launching their first U.S. office and looking to hire a high-growth Senior Vice President in Dallas, TX. This is a unique opportunity to join a profitable, well-backed organization with a start-up feel. If you’re looking to put your stamp on something, this could be an amazing next step for you!
The Director of Sales will be the senior commercial seller, leader and “figurehead” for the U.S. operation as the company duplicates its proven London blueprint into the U.S. market. This is a builder role for a hands-on sales driver who can win business, develop new markets, and help build a high-performance culture.
What you’ll do:
- Drive aggressive new business acquisition across the U.S.
- Personally lead strategic selling efforts with enterprise and mid-market accounts, with a focus on AI/Cloud/Data contract staffing solutions.
- Partner closely with the founders to open doors, shape positioning, and accelerate U.S. growth.
- Establish and run a KPI/metrics-driven sales culture aligned to the company’s existing tiered sales model (e.g., AE-led new business with supporting layers).
- Hire, train, and coach sales talent including developing green /early-career professionals and build the next generation of leaders.
- Serve as the on-the-ground leader who sets the tone, and builds team cohesion including networking and client and community presence.
- Support leadership in bridging U.K. vs. U.S. market terms, expectations, and go-to-market norms.
- Coordinate with London-based recruiting/delivery hub (the company’s delivery engine) to ensure sales and delivery stay tightly aligned.
What you need:
- 7–15 years of contract staffing sales experience in Information Technology.
- Proven track record of winning new business and building and leading teams in a high-growth environment.
- Experience selling IT skill sets preferred (AI, Cloud, Data), with strong staffing sales leadership with the ability to learn quickly is acceptable.
- Comfortable in a scrappy, builder phase: can sell, recruit/attract talent, coach, and help set up the office and culture.
- Strong executive presence and client-facing professionalism.
What you get:
- Competitive base salary plus the opportunity to help craft your own incentive plan.
- A chance for skin in the game and truly making the U.S. business what you want it to be.
