The Opportunity

Great sales teams don't happen by accident. They're built by great recruiters.

At Third Bridge, our commercial teams play a critical role in connecting the world's leading investment firms and consultancies with the research, expert insights and intelligence they need to make better decisions.

As we continue to grow our US business, we're creating a brand-new Senior Sales Recruiter role to help us attract the commercial talent that will drive our next stage of growth.

This isn't simply about filling vacancies. We're looking for someone who knows the US sales talent market inside out, brings an established network of exceptional commercial talent, and thrives on partnering with business leaders to build high-performing teams.

You'll take the lead on Sales recruitment across the US, with the autonomy to shape our approach, challenge conventional thinking and make a real, measurable impact on the business.

If you're an experienced Sales Recruiter who loves the craft of recruiting, thinks commercially and wants the opportunity to take genuine ownership, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Own and drive US Sales recruitment

• Take the lead on end-to-end recruitment for our US Sales organisation, hiring commercial talent across different levels and business areas.

• Develop and execute recruitment strategies aligned with commercial priorities, growth ambitions and evolving business needs.

• Build proactive, high-quality talent pipelines that allow us to engage great candidates before vacancies arise.

• Take accountability for recruitment outcomes, balancing speed, quality and candidate experience.

Build exceptional commercial talent networks

• Leverage your existing network of sales professionals while continuously developing new relationships across the US market.

• Proactively identify, attract and engage high-performing sales talent, including candidates who aren't actively looking for a move.

• Build meaningful relationships with prospective candidates, creating a strong pipeline of talent for current and future opportunities.

• Bring an informed perspective on the external talent market, competitor activity and emerging hiring trends.

Be a trusted partner to Sales leadership

• Work closely with senior commercial leaders to understand their businesses, challenges and talent requirements.

• Act as a genuine talent advisor, providing market insights, challenging assumptions and influencing hiring decisions.

• Help define what great Sales talent looks like across different roles, client segments and commercial environments.

• Partner with stakeholders to anticipate hiring needs and support effective workforce planning.

Shape and elevate how we recruit

• Bring fresh thinking to our sourcing strategies, recruitment processes and candidate assessment approaches.

• Use recruitment data and market intelligence to identify opportunities for improvement and inform decisions.

• Help build consistent, effective hiring practices that deliver a great experience for candidates and hiring managers.

• Continuously explore new tools, technologies and approaches to make recruitment more proactive, efficient and impactful.

What You'll Bring

Deep Sales recruitment expertise

• Significant experience recruiting Sales and GTM talent, ideally within B2B organisations selling complex solutions, products or services.

• A strong understanding of different commercial roles, sales models and what makes a high-performing salesperson.

• Experience recruiting across multiple levels of seniority, with the ability to adapt your approach to different hiring needs.

• A proven track record of delivering high-quality hires in competitive talent markets.

An established commercial talent network

• A strong existing network of US-based sales professionals and the ability to engage high-calibre talent through meaningful relationships.

• A proactive, creative approach to sourcing, with experience building talent pipelines beyond traditional applications and job boards.

• Strong market-mapping and talent intelligence capabilities, coupled with the curiosity to understand where great commercial talent sits.

Commercial credibility and influence

• The confidence and credibility to partner with senior Sales leaders, understand their business challenges and offer informed advice.

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge constructively and build trusted relationships.

• A commercial mindset and an understanding of how effective recruitment contributes to revenue growth and business performance.

Ownership, curiosity and a builder's mindset

• A genuine passion for recruitment and the ability to operate independently, take initiative and deliver results.

• Experience improving recruitment processes, introducing new approaches or helping shape recruitment strategy.

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to use data to inform decisions and measure impact.

• An adaptable, solutions-oriented approach, with the confidence to operate in an evolving and fast-paced environment.

Experience recruiting within SaaS, fintech, financial services, market intelligence, research or other complex B2B environments would be particularly valuable, but we're equally interested in people who can demonstrate exceptional Sales recruitment expertise in other sectors.
