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.

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.

Why Join Harnham?

  • Market Leadership : Join the world's leading Data & AI recruitment business with over 15 years of global expertise.
  • Earning Potential : Competitive base + up to 30% uncapped commission on personal billings, plus team commission and performance bonuses.
  • Growth Opportunity : Clear pathway to Senior Manager level as you scale the contract division.
  • Supportive Culture : Work in a high-performance, collaborative environment that values development and accountability.
  • Learning & Development : Access to dedicated leadership training, peer mentorship, and ongoing professional growth.
  • Who We're Looking For

  • A 360 contract recruiter with a proven billing track record.
  • Experience managing or mentoring recruiters (ideally 2–3 direct reports).
  • A strong relationship builder who can deliver for clients and develop people.
  • Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-activity environment.
  • Ambitious, commercial, and ready to help shape the future of Harnham's Contract division.
  • Join a business where your impact will be visible, your success rewarded, and your career progression defined.
