Apply for the Key Account Delivery Team Leader (Defence)
Location: Whiteley
Job Description:

Are you looking to take your next step into leadership without losing the thrill of recruitment delivery?

We’re looking for an experienced recruitment professional to join a high-performing Defence team supporting one of the UK’s most prestigious clients, that we at Matchtech have had the pleasure of working with for several years.

This is a unique opportunity for a successful consultant who loves delivery and relationship management but is ready to play a bigger role in developing others.

Why this role stands out;

Unlike many recruitment leadership positions, this role is not about business development.

You’ll be joining a well-established team dedicated to servicing a major key account with a constant flow of live vacancies. The client relationship is exceptionally strong, meaning you’ll focus on what you do best:

✅ Delivering quality candidates

✅ Managing the recruitment process

✅ Building candidate relationships

✅ Supporting and mentoring team members

✅ Acting as a role model for recruitment best practice

Approximately 80% of your time will be spent delivering roles, with around 20% focused on coaching and supporting colleagues.

Who we’re looking for

You may be:

  • An experienced 360 Consultant looking to move into leadership without the pressure of sales targets and BD activity
  • A strong Delivery or 180 Consultant already mentoring others and ready to gain formal leadership experience
  • A proven recruiter with excellent client and candidate management skills who enjoys helping others succeed

We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate:

  • Strong recruitment delivery experience
  • Excellent candidate control and stakeholder management
  • Credibility and professionalism
  • A coaching mindset
  • The ability to lead by example and elevate team performance

You’ll be working alongside a highly respected manager who is known for developing people, creating a positive environment and supporting long-term career growth.

If you’re ready to step into a leadership role without sacrificing your billing potential, we’d love to hear from you.
