JOB DESCRIPTION

Senior Leadership Role – Robert Half Sydney
Step into a global firm, shape a high-performing team, and elevate your leadership impact.

The opportunity
Robert Half is seeking a seasoned agency recruitment leader to helm one of our top-performing practices across Asia Pacific. Based in our Sydney CBD office, this high-profile leadership role offers the rare chance to directly influence the direction of our Accounting & Finance practice, while gaining exposure to regional leadership and global collaboration. If you're currently managing a team in a local or boutique agency and are looking to step into a globally recognised brand, broaden your scope, and work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in recruitment, this is your moment.

Why Robert Half?
Named one of Australia's Best Workplaces 2024 and re-certified for 2025, Robert Half is the world's first and largest specialised recruitment consultancy. We are proud to be recognised as a Fortune Most Admired Company for the 28th consecutive year, and the only company in our sector to earn that honour. Our Sydney office is a key hub in our ANZ business, with a long-standing client base, an established brand reputation, and a tenured, high-performing team. You'll step into a mature desk and a high-trust culture that balances autonomy with support and innovation with performance.

What you'll lead and grow
In the role of Senior Manager or Associate Director, you will:

  • Lead and develop a team of five high-performing recruitment consultants in a collaborative, inclusive sales environment

  • Drive new business growth while expanding long-standing client partnerships

  • Coach, mentor, and develop your team through regular sales reviews, hands-on training, and strategic planning

  • Identify and act on cross-sell opportunities across our national offices (VIC, QLD, WA)

  • Build client-centric recruitment solutions with a consultative, data-driven approach

  • Maintain strong market presence by identifying trends, advising clients, and connecting with senior talent

  • Collaborate with regional leadership and contribute to APAC-wide initiatives

What you bring

  • Proven experience as a recruitment manager or team leader in a high-performing agency environment

  • A commercial mindset and natural ability to build and nurture client relationships

  • A passion for leading people, developing talent, and achieving ambitious outcomes

  • Prior experience in the Accounting & Finance space is ideal, but not essential

  • A desire to scale your career within a larger, international environment with structured development pathways

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive pay: base salary, super, and uncapped commissions

  • Career development: extensive L&D, regional mentoring, and global leadership programs

  • International mobility: we operate in 330+ offices across 19 countries

  • Wellbeing & flexibility: hybrid work, loyalty leave, mental health resources, and paid charity days

  • Recognition: local and global awards, including our annual global incentive event in Las Vegas

  • Advanced tech: access to the latest AI-driven tools and a best-in-class tech stack

Location:
Hybrid model – onsite in our new Pitt Street office in Sydney's CBD
