JOB DESCRIPTION

We’re hiring a Principal-level recruiter to take ownership of and scale a specialist desk in Delivery, Production & Operations at DNA.

This role is designed for someone already operating at a high level who wants to build a core market properly, with the platform, brand and infrastructure in place to support long-term growth.

You’ll be leveraging a strong base of existing agency client relationships to introduce and scale your specialism, building long-term partnerships and developing your market into a leading practice area over time.

The role centres around:
  • Full ownership and growth of a Delivery / Production / Operations recruitment desk
  • Building strategic, long-term relationships with agency clients
  • Driving consistent, high-level billings
  • Developing your market into a recognised area of expertise
DNA operates as a remote-first business, built around autonomy, trust, and performance. There is clear structure and support in place, alongside expectations around performance.

The platform is designed to support high-performing desks. That includes access to established client relationships, a strong tech stack, and opportunities to be in the right environments to build meaningful connections in your market.

Leadership still bill and remain close to delivery, so guidance is based on real market conditions. As your desk grows, you’ll have access to candidate resourcing support and infrastructure to help you scale effectively.

The commercial model is strong. Consultants take home up to 40% of what they bill, with the opportunity to build significant personal revenue.

This tends to suit someone who:
  • is already operating at Principal level within delivery, production, or operations recruitment
  • wants to build and scale a market with more structure and ownership
  • is looking to expand a niche they’re already credible in, with the platform and brand to take it further
  • values autonomy but still wants experienced, billing leadership around them
If you’re looking to build and scale a Delivery, Production & Operations desk within an established agency client base, apply or reach out directly to learn more.

DNA is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
Although we try to respond to all applications, unfortunately, due to the high number we receive, we are unable to respond to all of those who are unsuccessful.
