Startup Acquisition Manager - Recruitment Marketplace

Full-time Company site

The Role:


This is a GTM & Acquisition role sitting at the heart of a core strategic initiative. You'll continue to build an existing pipeline/engine to generate high-quality job roles on the Connectd marketplace. That will mean developing a new partner network, reactivating existing users, and driving new company acquisition - and owning the results!


This isn’t a typical recruiter role. You'll be partnering with them, and building the infrastructure that makes Connectd the default platform to hire senior fractional talent. 


Who You Are


You'll likely have:


  • 3–5 years in roles that blend sales, partnerships, or BD with recruitment - agency, RPO, or HR tech sales all relevant

  • A track record of owning a number and hitting it

  • Experience running acquisition campaigns or partner activation programmes

  • An instinct for running an effective recruitment process

  • The judgment to prioritize when everything feels urgent

  • Comfort operating before the playbook exists


What You'll Own


This is an exciting opportunity to be part of building a world-class fractional talent marketplace. There are three core areas that you will own: 


Recruitment partner network - Identify, onboard, and activate agency and in-house recruitment partners to post roles on Connectd. Build relationships that drive ongoing platform activity, not one-off sign-ups.


Platform re-engagement - Run structured campaigns to bring existing Connectd companies back to the platform for role postings. Own the cohort strategy, messaging, and conversion metrics.


New company acquisition - Define an ICP, build a pipeline of high-quality companies, and execute outbound to bring them onto the platform. This is a proper GTM motion: you set it up, you run it.


Importantly, we’re looking for someone who will roll up their sleeves in order to drive successful placements. That will mean being hands-on with new clients to help them find the best talent from within the Connectd network. 




What Success Looks Like

In your first 90 days, you will have a clear view of the Connectd business, a prioritised plan for driving growth, and early traction with quality roles posted on the platform. 


Within six months, you will have built a reliable engine for role postings, established a functioning partner network, and started to demonstrate meaningful conversion improvements.


Within 12 months, this business line has a meaningful impact on the Connectd ecosystem and you're the person who built it - with the metrics to prove it!
