Director @ Absolute Sales & Marketing Recruitment Ltd. | Top Sales & Marketing Recruitment Specialists
US SAP Contract Recruiter / Business Development Lead
Location: UK (remote / hybrid, US hours) or US-based
Package: Competitive base + uncapped commission + long-term incentives
The Role
Our client has an established US legal entity and a growing portfolio of SAP contract work across the United States, but no dedicated person leading that market yet. They are now seeking an experienced SAP contract recruiter to take ownership of the US desk, with a clear brief to build and grow a high-margin contract book and, over time, a team.
Depending on your location, this could be:
UK-based SAP recruiter working predominantly US East Coast hours, with the option to relocate to the US in the medium term, or
US-based SAP contract recruiter ready to build the US practice with the backing of a successful European SAP specialist.
Key Responsibilities
Own and drive the US SAP contract market for the business
Develop a clear go-to-market plan focused on priority states / regions (initially East Coast)
Win new clients and projects, leveraging existing brand references
Manage the full contract lifecycle – from requirement intake to onboarding and extension
Build deep relationships with US SAP contractors and clients
Work closely with leadership on headcount and team growth in the US
Contribute to overall US strategy and market positioning
Ideal Experience
Proven experience as a SAP contract recruiter, ideally with US market exposure
Strong knowledge of SAP roles (functional, technical, S/4HANA, ECC) and typical clients (end users, integrators, partners)
Track record of building and growing a profitable contract book
Comfortable working US hours (if UK-based)
Skills & Attributes
Entrepreneurial mindset – you want to build something, not just inherit a desk
Strong BD capability and confidence opening doors at new logos
Excellent relationship builder with both contractors and hiring managers
Ambitious, self-driven and comfortable with accountability and high expectations
What's on offer
Competitive base salary (negotiable depending on experience and existing book)

Long-term incentive / equity-style package aligned to US growth
