About ITS

With over 50 years of experience in the construction industry and 19 offices across the UK, ITS is a well-established and successful recruitment business specialising in construction staffing solutions.

Our offices are built on strong local relationships, in-depth market knowledge, and a commitment to delivering a bespoke service to both clients and candidates. Each location operates with a high degree of autonomy, supported by hands-on leadership, structured training, and a collaborative group culture.

Due to continued growth, we are looking to appoint an experienced Billing Manager to join our established Guildford office.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of our most successful offices, which has been operating since 1989. The office benefits from longstanding relationships with many of Surrey's leading contractors and an established, profitable client base

We are looking for someone ambitious, commercially minded and energised by the idea of building something special. Someone who enjoys developing people, winning business and taking ownership rather than simply managing a desk.

Working closely with one of the Group Directors, you will play a key role in managing the day-to-day operation of the business, supporting and developing consultants, and helping to deliver the next phase of growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, manage and support a team of recruitment consultants and resourcer.
• Drive office performance, profitability and billing activity.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing clients and key accounts.
• Identify new business opportunities and support consultants in securing new clients
• Ensure high standards of customer service and operational excellence.
• Coach, mentor and develop team members to achieve their full potential.
• Work closely with senior leadership to implement business growth strategies.

About You

We are looking for someone who has:

• Previous experience in recruitment management, team leadership, or a senior billing role.
• A proven track record of driving revenue growth and developing successful teams.
• Strong commercial awareness and relationship-building skills.
• Excellent organisational and communication abilities.
• A hands-on, positive and motivated approach.
• We welcome applications from experienced recruiters within construction or closely related sectors where relationship-led sales and long-term account management are key.

This opportunity would particularly suit:

• An experienced Billing Manager seeking greater autonomy and progression.
• An experienced Senior or Managing Consultant looking for their first management opportunity, or an existing Billing Manager seeking greater autonomy and a clearer route to Directorship.
• An ambitious individual who wants to play a significant role in shaping the future growth of an established business.

Training & Progression

At ITS, we are passionate about developing our people and promoting from within. You will receive ongoing support through:

• Structured leadership and management training.
• Mentoring from experienced Directors and senior leaders.
• External training and professional development opportunities.
• Clear progression pathways into senior leadership positions.

Why Join ITS?

• Existing team and client base
• Autonomy to shape the future of the business
• Direct access to senior leadership
• Genuine route to Directorship and shareholding
• Long-term career rather than just another billing role

Package & Benefits

• Competitive basic salary.
• Car allowance.
• Uncapped personal and team commission structure.
• Quarterly and annual performance bonuses.
• Incentive trips and rewards.

Many of our current Directors started their careers in similar positions within the business and have progressed through our leadership pathway.
