The Opportunity:
Carrot's Commercial & Go-To-Market desk focuses on Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives, Key Account Managers and sales leadership positions across the US East Coast. With vacancies on the rise, the existing team is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to grow the existing Sales desk across the US market. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with previous experience in the US Life Sciences market, looking to push their career forward, backed by one of the market leaders in Healthcare and Life Sciences recruitment. As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you will: Manage the full 360 recruitment lifecycle Develop and grow relationships with US Life Sciences organisations, identifying and winning new business opportunities Build a strong industry network and market reputation Develop a specialist niche and grow your own revenue-generating desk Manage your recruitment processes from brief to placement To be successful, you’ll need: Previous 360 recruitment experienceA background in commercial recruitment within US Healthcare, Life Sciences, Pharma/Biotech or Med Tech marketsA consistent billing track record with strong business development skillsA relationship-led approach to recruitment and a desire to become a recognised market specialist Benefits 33 days annual leave including bank holidays 401K plan Medical Insurance Silver Flexible Plan – employer contribution 50%Vision Insurance and Dental Insurance Up to $50 contribution towards own mobile tariff Buy & Sell holiday Voluntary Long-term Disability Cover Internal Referral Scheme - $500 What does your career growth at Carrot look like? We map out two clear routes from here: a sales route through Senior, Principal and Associate Director, or a management route if leading a team appeals more. Both are open from day one. And more importantly, your promotions are merit-based rather than relying on a space opening or your manager's decisions. Specialism that actually means something This isn't generalist recruitment. Carrot works concept to commercial across the full drug development lifecycle in Pharma, Biotech and Med Tech. Consultants get a structured 90-day induction, access to The Recruitment Network, and 11,300 hours of internal training delivered last year across the group, so the "market specialist" positioning in the JD isn't just a line; there's an actual investment behind it. We are founder-led and growing at the same timeA lot of candidates have to choose between a small agency with a real culture and a bigger organisation with real career paths. We are founder-led, so the values are consistent, but it's backed by Cow Corner investment and part of a group (CRS) that's acquired three businesses since 2023. That means promotion isn't capped by headcount at one small desk; there's a genuine ladder up through the wider group. The money is uncapped and multi-layered Most agencies give you one commission structure. Carrot gives you three ways to earn: monthly (up to 20% at 150%+ of target), a rolling three-month bonus on top of that, and an annual bonus worth 2% of your total revenue (5% above target if you're a Principal Consultant). Hit target consistently, and the earning potential is real, not theoretical. So, what are you waiting for? If you've got recruitment experience in the US Healthcare, Life Sciences, Pharma/Biotech or Med Tech market, and want to build your own desk within a close-knit, supportive team, send your application to businesssupport@compassltd.co.uk.
