UK Public Sector Recruitment Sales Manager

SATIGO is an established digital capability partner to the UK public sector, with a strong track record of delivering specialist teams and outcome-based digital transformation projects through Statements of Work (SoW).

Having successfully grown our Digital Capability business, we are now investing in the expansion of our Executive and Senior Recruitment offering.

Our recent appointment to the GCA Executive and Senior Recruitment Framework, covering Grade 6 through to SCS4 appointments, provides an exciting platform to expand our footprint across central government, regulators and the wider public sector.

We are looking for an experienced, commercially driven UK Public Sector Recruitment Sales Manager who already has established relationships within the public sector and can help us capitalise on this opportunity.

The Role

This is a dedicated business development position, focused on winning new recruitment business rather than managing recruitment delivery. You will be responsible for developing new client relationships, identifying senior recruitment opportunities and converting these into commercial assignments. Working closely with SATIGO's leadership and established search delivery capability, you will play a key role in scaling our recruitment business.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and win new recruitment business across UK central government, regulators, arm's-length bodies and the wider public sector.
• Leverage existing relationships with HR Directors, Heads of Talent Acquisition, Commercial Directors and senior departmental stakeholders.
• Capitalise on SATIGO's GCA framework appointment to secure Grade 6 and SCS1–4 recruitment mandates.
• Identify opportunities across permanent recruitment, senior appointments and executive search.
• Build and manage a strong pipeline of new client opportunities.
• Develop strategic relationships with public sector organisations to secure repeat business.
• Work alongside SATIGO's recruitment delivery teams to ensure successful client outcomes.
• Represent SATIGO as a credible and trusted recruitment partner to the UK public sector.

What We're Looking For

You must have a proven track record of winning recruitment business within the UK public sector and an established network of relevant decision-makers.

We are particularly interested in individuals who bring

• Demonstrable success in public sector recruitment sales and business development.
• Established relationships with senior HR, Talent Acquisition, Commercial and departmental decision-makers.
• Experience winning permanent recruitment or executive search assignments.
• An understanding of public sector procurement, recruitment frameworks and buying processes.
• Experience operating across central government departments, regulators or wider public sector organisations.
• Strong commercial negotiation and relationship management skills.
• The ability to independently originate, develop and close new business.

Experience securing Grade 6, SCS or other senior leadership recruitment mandates would be a significant advantage.

Why Join SATIGO?

SATIGO has already established a successful presence in the UK public sector through its Digital Capability and SoW delivery services.

We are now looking to replicate that success within our recruitment business.

You will benefit from

• An established public sector business with existing relationships and delivery credibility.
• A newly awarded GCA framework position, creating access to senior recruitment opportunities.
• An experienced recruitment and executive search delivery capability, allowing you to focus on business development.
• Commercial autonomy, with the opportunity to shape and grow a significant business area.
• Competitive rewards, including an uncapped commission structure linked to your success.

If you have established relationships across the UK public sector, a proven ability to win recruitment business and the ambition to help scale a growing recruitment offering, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
