National Account Manager / Head of Recruitment

National Account Manager / Head of Recruitment

West Yorkshire.

An established and fast-growing recruitment business is looking for a hands-on National Account Manager to take ownership of a major, national logistics contract and drive its next stage of growth.

This is a working role, not a purely strategic one. You will fill bookings, manage suppliers, get out to client sites and lead the contract team from the West Yorkshire office. For a commercially driven operator, the revenue on this account is considerable.

The company

• A recruitment business supplying drivers into the logistics sector.
• Multi-million pound turnover with strong, continued growth.
• Long-standing national contract with further revenue streams.
• A clear record of rewarding and retaining people who perform.

The role

• Take full ownership of a key national account, based at the West Yorkshire office.
• Fill bookings and keep day-to-day fulfilment running to a high standard.
• Manage second-tier suppliers and hold them to agreed service levels.
• Visit client sites regularly and build strong relationships at every level.
• Grow revenue within the account, including expansion into further driver categories.
• Oversee the existing contract team and grow headcount as the account develops.
• Manage margins, with a clear target to substantially increase weekly gross profit.

Who this would suit

• An account manager or senior consultant from driver or logistics recruitment.
• Commercially driven and hands-on, comfortable running operations directly rather than from a distance.
• Experienced in managing second-tier suppliers on a national or multi-site account.
• Confident on client sites and happy to travel nationally.
• Full UK driving licence essential.
• Looking for a new challenge from January 2027.

What’s on offer

• £40,000 – £45,000 basic salary plus car allowance.
• Performance-related bonus.
• Company pension, with discretionary additional employer contributions rewarding strong performance.
• A business that invests in its people for the long term.
• Real scope to grow the account, the team and your own role.
• January 2027 start, allowing time to serve notice.

All applications handled in strict confidence.
