Billing Manager

Billing Manager / Team Lead

Around £50,000 + Personal Commission + Team Bonus

Monument, London

You’ve proved you can bill. The next move should give you more control, not just a bigger target.

You might already be the person people come to for advice. You help newer consultants, steady the team when things get difficult and probably have a few opinions about how things could be done better.

But unless someone actually gives you the authority to do something with that experience, you’re still just billing somebody else’s way.

This is a genuine player-manager role.

You’ll keep your own client relationships and personal commission, but you’ll also take responsibility for developing a London BD team and influencing how it grows. It could suit an established Managing Consultant, or a strong Principal Consultant who’s ready to make management official.

And you won’t be expected to manage a team, win every client and somehow resource every vacancy yourself.

There’s an established delivery operation of around 20–25 people, organised by region and skill set. They join qualification calls, source candidates, manage processes, offers and aftercare, while you and the London team concentrate on winning and developing client relationships.

The business has specialised in financial trading and trading technology recruitment since 2017, particularly FX, with placements across commercial, technology, compliance, finance, operations and executive positions. It reports more than 1,000 placements across 32 countries.

You’ll be based in Monument four days a week, with Wednesdays working from home. The management style is described as relatively light-touch for experienced people, without rigid call-count or call-time KPIs. There are also opportunities to attend FX and fintech events in places such as Cyprus and Dubai.

Most importantly, there’s somewhere for this to go.

The business already has separate progression routes for successful individual billers and people leaders, with senior leadership moving towards wider team development, commercial responsibility and ultimately strategic growth. The exact milestones for this appointment will be agreed rather than pretending there’s a guaranteed promotion date.

What You’ll Need:

You’ll need a strong recruitment billing background and to be comfortable winning and developing your own clients.

Experience within FX, fintech, financial services or a related specialist recruitment market would clearly be useful, but the brief focuses primarily on your billing record, leadership experience or potential, and ability to work effectively with a separate delivery function.

About the Company

That structure is a big part of the opportunity. You get the feel and influence of joining a relatively small UK team, without having to build every part of the recruitment process yourself.

The company describes a close-knit culture with monthly lunches, quarterly socials, summer and Christmas parties and performance-related incentives.

What You’ll Get

• Around £50,000 basic salary
• Personal commission
• Team bonus
• Wednesday working from home
• Light-touch KPI approach for experienced hires
• Established offshore delivery support
• International FX and fintech exposure
• Opportunities to attend overseas industry events
• A route towards broader senior leadership

If you’ve reached the point where being a good biller isn’t enough anymore, this is worth a conversation.

You don’t need to spend Sunday updating your CV either. Send me an old one or your LinkedIn profile and we can work out the rest later.
