Altius Talent is a UK-based recruitment firm placing senior operations, sales and management talent into the US logistics and freight forwarding market. We've built a profitable, fast-growing business with a strong reputation across Houston, Dallas, the Northeast, and the Midwest — and we're now scaling toward a defined exit horizon.
We bill from the UK into the US. Our consultants are smart, well-paid, and supported. We're not a churn-and-burn agency.
Why this role exists
The owner currently absorbs every operational fire — IT, email, vendors, payroll, commissions, hiring logistics, reporting, systems. That's no longer scalable.
This role exists to take ownership of operations so the leadership team can focus on what they do best: client relationships, billing, and strategic growth. It's a genuine number-two seat with real ownership, not a pure admin role.

- Day-to-day people management for the consultant team
- Onboarding new hires through to productivity
- KPI tracking, weekly 1:1s, performance management
- Sourcing and first-stage interviewing for new hires

Finance & commercial admin

- Payroll liaison with our accountant
- Monthly KPI dashboard and reporting to the owner

Office & operations
- Smooth running of the day-to-day

Who you are
- 5+ years experience in recruitment operations, agency management, or a number-two role at a similar-size firm

- Detail-oriented — commissions, payroll, and KPIs need to be right, every time
- Comfortable managing people without ego
- Strong systems-thinker who can spot what's broken and fix it
You're not an ex-biller wanting to get back into billing. You're someone who finds running things well genuinely satisfying.

- base depending on experience, plus performance bonus tied to firm KPIs
- Hybrid working (4 days office / 1 day remote), Bristol HQ
- Direct line to ownership, real influence on direction
- A profitable, stable, growing firm with a clear long-term plan
