National Account Manager / Head of Recruitment
West Yorkshire.
An established and fast-growing recruitment business is looking for a hands-on National Account Manager to take ownership of a major, national logistics contract and drive its next stage of growth.
This is a working role, not a purely strategic one. You will fill bookings, manage suppliers, get out to client sites and lead the contract team from the West Yorkshire office. For a commercially driven operator, the revenue on this account is considerable.
The company
- A recruitment business supplying drivers into the logistics sector.
- Multi-million pound turnover with strong, continued growth.
- Long-standing national contract with further revenue streams.
- A clear record of rewarding and retaining people who perform.
The role
- Take full ownership of a key national account, based at the West Yorkshire office.
- Fill bookings and keep day-to-day fulfilment running to a high standard.
- Manage second-tier suppliers and hold them to agreed service levels.
- Visit client sites regularly and build strong relationships at every level.
- Grow revenue within the account, including expansion into further driver categories.
- Oversee the existing contract team and grow headcount as the account develops.
- Manage margins, with a clear target to substantially increase weekly gross profit.
Who this would suit
- An account manager or senior consultant from driver or logistics recruitment.
- Commercially driven and hands-on, comfortable running operations directly rather than from a distance.
- Experienced in managing second-tier suppliers on a national or multi-site account.
- Confident on client sites and happy to travel nationally.
- Full UK driving licence essential.
- Looking for a new challenge from January 2027.
What's on offer
- £40,000 - £45,000 basic salary plus car allowance.
- Performance-related bonus.
- Company pension, with discretionary additional employer contributions rewarding strong performance.
- A business that invests in its people for the long term.
- Real scope to grow the account, the team and your own role.
- January 2027 start, allowing time to serve notice.
All applications handled in strict confidence.
