Build it. Lead it. Own it.
We’re 365 People; bold, growing, and serious about results. We’re opening up a Branch Manager seat in Coventry for someone who can lead from the front, bill, and scale a high-energy team across Transport and Industrial. Not an ivory-tower job. This is sleeves-up leadership with the autonomy to run the branch like it’s your business.

What you’ll be doing

• Own the branch: strategy, headcount, GP, margin, pricing, terms, the whole P&L picture.
• Lead and grow a team: help to recruit, coach, set targets, run morning stand-ups, turn potential into billings.
• Drive new business: PSLs, tenders, site visits, cross-sell across Transport/Industrial/Commercial.
• Keep ops tight: fill rates, time-to-hire, forecasting, pipeline health, daily/weekly MI and reporting.
• Stay compliant: RTW, AWR, WTD & drivers’ hours, licence/DVLA checks, references, zero shortcuts.
• Be hands-on: key client ownership, senior vacancies, tricky fills -you’ll still bill.
• Cover Transport reality: oversee the on-call rota and make sure 24/7 clients feel 24/7 supported.

Your world (the sectors you’ll steer)

• Transport: HGV/LGV/Class 1 & 2, 7.5t, van, planners, traffic/transport office, supervisors.
• Industrial: warehouse ops, FLT, pick/pack, team leaders, production and light manufacturing.

About you

• Proven recruitment leader: billing manager or senior ready to take the branch keys.
• Track record across transport (ideal) and/or industrial in a fast-paced, high-volume world.
• BD hunter + relationship keeper: you win accounts, grow them and protect margin.
• Data-driven operator: you live in GP, fill rates, pipeline, and debtor days- and you act on them.
• High bar for pace and service: if you coast, this isn’t for you. Owner’s mindset required.

What you’ll get

• £32k–£40k basic (DOE) + bonuses & uncapped commission (your branch, your upside OTE varies).
• Early Friday finish, proper tools, marketing support, and decision-making power that actually means something.
• A warm Coventry footprint with room to scale headcount, revenue and your own career.
• Support from Directors and Owners of the business, everyone wants to chip in to drive success!
