Business Development Manager – US Market in London

As Signify Technology enters its tenth year, we are continuing to invest in the development of our US client partnerships from our London headquarters. This role exists as a result of sustained growth across our US client base and the need to continue developing meaningful, consultative partnerships with organisations who require more than transactional recruitment support.

As a Business Development Manager aligned to our US market, you will focus on establishing and developing strategic hiring relationships with technology businesses whilst also supporting the performance and development of a small team. Working closely with our delivery teams, you will support clients across a range of hiring models, ensuring that we are positioned as a long-term partner rather than a short-term supplier.

Signify has grown consistently in revenue year-on-year since opening and now operates as a predominantly contract-focused consultancy business, with the majority of our work centred around long-term contract and project delivery. Our consultants are not restricted to selling a single hiring model. Instead, they are supported to operate as hiring partners across both contract and permanent hiring, as well as embedded and project-based solutions. This enables broader client partnerships and access to more stable revenue streams than reliance on individual placements alone.

We operate a no-threshold commission structure designed to reward consistent performance across a quarterly period, with consultants able to earn up to 40% commission and no cap on earnings.

• Quarterly kickers, paid in addition to standard commission
• Monthly Lunch Clubs at some of London's most prestigious restaurants
• Quarterly socials focused on team building and giving people the opportunity to switch off together
• Six-monthly high-performance incentives for luxury global trips to destinations such as Miami, the Bahamas, Mexico and Mykonos.

Alongside performance recognition, we continue to invest heavily in the long-term development of our people, with 16 internal promotions in 2025 alone across both delivery and leadership roles. We also offer a hybrid working model (3 days per week in our Moorgate office, in the heart of the City).

Diversity, equity and inclusion sit at the core of how we operate as a business. We are committed to creating an environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel supported, valued and able to succeed. We take an active approach to ensuring our workplace is inclusive, respectful and representative of the communities we partner with. We do not tolerate exclusionary or discriminatory behaviour in any form and expect all employees to contribute to maintaining a collaborative and inclusive working environment.
