Principal Account Specialist | Tuition Services/Education Sector

Location: Manchester (Driving License Essential)

Are you a relationship-driven recruiter who thrives on turning "warm" connections into long-term partnerships? If you are looking for a high-impact career move with a market leader, this is your chance to lead from the front.

Our Manchester Tuition Services & Intervention team is looking for a Principal Account Specialist to take ownership of a high-potential desk. This isn't about cold calling from scratch; it’s about having the pace, drive, and exceptional customer service skills to maximize our footprint within established framework clients.

The Role: Strategic Growth & Relationship Management

You will work at the heart of the full recruitment lifecycle, acting as the bridge between our top-tier talent and our key Local Authority stakeholders. Your mission is to move beyond "filling roles" and become a trusted partner.

• Stakeholder Mastery: Manage and grow 5 key framework accounts, building deep relationships with Local Authority stakeholders.

• Referral Engine: Proactively prospect for additional referrals based on talent availability, ensuring we are the first port of call for every new requirement.

• Commercial Precision: Review pay and charge rates to ensure we remain competitive and that our talent stays engaged.

• Lifecycle Ownership: Present high-quality candidates and manage the end-to-end placement process with speed and accuracy.

• Data-Driven Impact: Share progress and impact data with clients to demonstrate the value and ROI of our partnership.

What We Are Looking For:

• The mobile/driver mindset: A full UK driving license is essential for this role. You need to be out there meeting your clients face-to-face.

• Client Obsession: You have a "real client focus" and a track record of delivering world-class service.

• Pace and Urgency: You enjoy a fast-moving environment and have the time-management skills to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball.

• Strategic Growth: You aren't just a "seat warmer"—you have the drive to build and scale a warm desk into a powerhouse.

What’s In It For You?

• Quarterly Bonus Structure: Significant earning potential tied directly to your performance and desk growth.

• Elite Tools: Access to the latest recruitment technology and industry-leading L&D training.

• Ownership: Participation in our Share Purchase Scheme.

• Work-Life Balance: Flexible working options and discounts at major high-street retailers.

• Career Path: A clear trajectory within a global market leader.
