Senior Recruitment Consultant - AI Software (UK)

Central Manchester | UK Market | AI Software

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

Cubiq AI UK is one of our largest teams by headcount and revenue. We work with the AI labs people read about, and the team is known for holding its own in technical conversations and performing to a standard other agencies in AI struggle to match.

It’s led by Kiera Johnson, who runs her own community events and appears on podcasts. Lots of work arrives as inbound. BD is done together. And typically we see consultants that join this team achieve their career-best deal within six months.

Software is where you come in. Every AI business needs engineers to build around its models. You’d own that desk, sharing accounts with ML and product colleagues who are already placing there.

Who we’re looking for

Someone who knows software hiring, or is ready to learn it properly.

• You’ve got at least a year in recruitment, and we’re relaxed about level beyond that
• Ideally you’ve hired software engineers before within any industry
• You can talk through a software engineer’s stack with them, and you want to learn how AI teams build
• You do your own BD, and you run your desk like it’s your own business
• You’re comfortable being measured on BD activity as well as billings

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
• 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.
