Recruitment Consultant – Space & Defence
Fully Remote | UK | High-Growth Agency | Equity on the Table
This is a chance to build something properly, in one of the most in-demand, tightly regulated markets in recruitment.
We’re partnering with a fast-growing recruitment agency that’s already doing serious work in the Space & Defence sector. The hardest bits are done. They hold the right certifications, have real credibility, and are trusted by enterprise-level clients and RPOs.
What they don’t want is another generic recruiter learning the market on the job.
They want someone who already speaks the language of their clients and candidates, and knows how to win business and deliver in this sector.
Someone who understands the nuance, the compliance, the clearance process, and the patience this market demands and is excited by it.
If you’ve ever felt boxed in by red tape, short-term thinking, or being told to “just fill jobsâ€, this is different.
The role
This is your desk. Built your way.
• Build and scale a Space & Defence desk with genuine backing
• Step straight into established, high-profile client relationships
• Win new business in a credibility-led market where relationships matter
• Work in a delivery-first, quality-driven environment
• Have real influence over how the function evolves as the business grows
This is a true 360 role with autonomy. No micromanagement. No KPI theatre. You’re trusted to run your patch like a business.
What they’re looking for
This isn’t a training role. It’s for someone who already knows the terrain.
• Proven recruitment experience within Space & Defence (non-negotiable)
• Strong understanding of compliance, security clearance, and sector complexity
• Commercially sharp, with the ambition to build something meaningful
• Comfortable working fully remote, with occasional UK meet-ups
Why this one stands out
There aren’t many opportunities like this in the market.
• Fully remote, anywhere in the UK
• Access to established clients from day one
• A clear route into senior leadership
• Equity options as the business scales
• A genuine chance to shape the future, not just hit a number
This is for recruiters who want more than just another desk.
If you’re ambitious, credible in the Space & Defence market, and want long-term upside, apply below!
