Recruitment Team Lead - Robotics (EU)

We want Cubiq to be unavoidable. When a business hits a hiring barrier, or a good candidate starts thinking about a move, we want the first name in their head to be ours.

We’re a decent way there. Our consultants get recognised at conferences around the world. We put on the networking events that bring the best people in an industry into one room. When a top employer needs someone who genuinely moves the needle for them, we’re usually the ones making that introduction.

None of that happened by accident and none of it was easy. It came from building genuinely specialist teams and then backing them to go deep rather than wide.

That’s what you’d be joining. You’d build a name in your market faster here than you would anywhere else, because you’d be working somewhere that already has one.

The team you’re joining

Robotics and autonomy is one of the most exciting markets to recruit into right now, and one of the fastest growing. The companies building robots, autonomous systems and the AI behind them are scaling and pulling in investment across the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the Nordics and beyond.

We’ve been in this field for the best part of a decade, back before most tech and engineering agencies had thrown their hat in the robotics ring. That head start is why our people hit career-best deals in their first few months here, even ones who moved across from markets most would call more lucrative, like the US.

This is a new leadership role: taking on a lean, genuinely talented team that already has real momentum, a strong book and excellent clients. You’ll report straight to our CEO, run the division like it’s your own business, and be backed by a roadmap and a culture that already work, with real scope to shape where it goes from here.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a hands-on leader who can take the reins of this team and keep billing at the same time.

• 5+ years’ recruitment experience, with a track record of building or levelling up high-performing teams
• You lead from the front: running your own desk as a full 360 billing leader, while developing the consultants around you into the division’s next leaders
• You’ve grown a client base before, moving accounts through different engagement models and winning new business off the back of delivery
• Robotics or autonomous systems experience is a bonus, not a must, if you bring strong domain knowledge across Embedded Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Perception or Machine Learning
• You’ve got a sharp instinct for business development, and clients trust your read on hiring strategy and where their market’s heading

How you’ll do your best work here

Credibility in this space takes time to build. We put real money behind shortening that.

• Thousands invested every year getting you in front of clients and candidates worldwide
• A full conference season, so you become a known face in the industry rather than a name in an inbox
• Our own events calendar, which brings the people shaping this field into one room and generates genuine inbound off the back of it
• A team of actual market experts around you, all of them billing

Most agencies train you until you can bill and then leave you to it. We keep investing, because a consultant who’s unavoidable in their field is worth more to everyone than one who just hits target.

What else is on offer

• Uncapped commission up to 50%, no threshold, so you earn on every pound you bill
• A quarterly scheme that accelerates as the year goes on
• A share scheme, so you own a piece of Cubiq as you grow with us
• Leadership bonuses on top of your own billings, tied to your team hitting target
• Two company trips a year (Valencia and Lisbon most recently), quarterly achievers, team socials and rotating sales incentives
• Flexible hours
• A city centre office with an on-site gym

If something that matters to you isn’t on that list, tell us. We’re flexible and we’d rather sort it than lose someone good over it.
