Team Manager - Contract Recruitment, Data & AI

Location : Financial District, Manhattan

Hybrid Working : 4 days in-office, 1 day remote

At Harnham, we've specialised in Data & AI recruitment for nearly two decades, building a global reputation as the market leader. Our New York office has established a strong foundation across both permanent and contract markets, and we're now looking for a Team Manager to lead the next phase of growth within our Contract Recruitment division.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment. You'll be billing actively across both client and candidate sides, while managing and developing a small team of consultants. The role offers immediate impact and clear progression toward senior management as the team continues to scale.

The Opportunity

As a Team Manager, you'll take ownership of a warm and growing contract desk in one of the fastest-moving markets within Harnham. You'll work with leading clients across the U.S., managing relationships, mentoring junior consultants, and driving commercial performance.

You'll ideally bring experience managing a team of 2–3 recruiters, joining us to take on leadership of our junior team members with the opportunity to grow that team further over time.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading from the front, billing actively while coaching and developing a team of junior consultants.
• Building and expanding client relationships across the Data & AI contract market.
• Driving performance through structured 1 : 1s, pipeline management, and target setting.
• Supporting consultants' professional growth through hands-on training and mentorship.
• Collaborating with senior leadership to shape commercial strategy and long-term team development.
