What if you could build your own client portfolio in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, with the backing of an established global recruitment business?
At Harnham , we're expanding our New York Contracts division and looking for ambitious, commercially driven Business Development professionals to help accelerate our growth across the Data, Analytics & Artificial Intelligence markets.

- Own Your Market: Take responsibility for your pipeline, client relationships, and revenue growth.
- Generate Recurring Revenue: Develop long-term contract staffing partnerships and expand existing accounts.
- Become a Trusted Partner: Work with organizations to understand their hiring challenges and deliver specialist talent solutions.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in B2B sales, business development, staffing, or recruitment.
- A proven ability to generate leads, prospect, and win new business.
- A true hunter mentality with an entrepreneurial approach to sales.
- Strong relationship-building, communication, and negotiation skills.
- A competitive, self-motivated individual who thrives in a results-driven environment.
Experience in Data & AI recruitment is a plus, but your ability to develop relationships and win business matters most.
Why Harnham?
- High-Growth Industry: Build your career in Data & AI, a market experiencing significant investment and demand for specialist talent.
