Head of Freelance Data Centres Europe

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Head of Freelance Data Centres Europe to lead and scale our freelance recruitment offering across the European data centre market. This individual will drive contractor placements, build strategic talent pipelines, and develop client relationships across one of the fastest-growing sectors in Europe.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Unlike many freelance recruitment environments, our recruiters are able to focus on what they do best:billing

We have dedicated Internal Mobility, Legal, and Compliance teams that manage contractor administration and travel arrangements. This allows our recruitment teams to spend more time on business development, candidate engagement, and billing generation rather than administrative processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow freelance recruitment activities across the European Data Centre market.
  • Source, engage, and place high-quality freelance professionals across mission-critical infrastructure projects.
  • Monitor market trends and identify growth opportunities across Europe.
  • Collaborate closely with internal support functions to ensure an exceptional contractor and client experience.

Requirements

  • 4+ year's experience in any industry doing international freelance recruitment.
  • Demonstrated success in generating contractor placement revenue.
  • Strong commercial mindset with a passion for building client relationships and growing accounts.
  • Proven ability to work in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
  • Leadership experience is advantageous but not essential for candidates demonstrating strong commercial performance.

Why Join Us?

  • Dedicated Legal, Compliance, and Internal Mobility teams provide specialist support throughout the contractor life-cycle.
  • Access to a growing European Data Centre client base.
  • Opportunity to build and shape a high-growth freelance practice.
  • Collaborative, international environment with significant career progression opportunities.
