At STR Group, our Client Solutions Executives engage organisations across specialist STEM industries to understand how they deliver critical projects, overcome resource constraints and access specialist expertise. You’ll be the engine at the top of our sales funnel identifying potential clients, starting meaningful commercial conversations and generating qualified opportunities for our Client Services Directors.
This is broader than traditional recruitment sales. Depending on the client’s objectives, the right solution could involve permanent or contract recruitment, staff augmentation, multi-hire campaigns, project teams, Statement of Work delivery, retained search, or market intelligence and workforce consulting.
Working closely with a Client Services Director, you’ll qualify each opportunity before providing a comprehensive handover for solution design, commercial discussions and deal closure. You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of workforce and project delivery models while developing the commercial knowledge and credibility required to become a trusted client advisor.
