Managing Director — Specialized Recruiting Group Lakewood, CO · Full-time · On-site Build a market. Lead a team. Own a stake in what you create. Most Managing Director roles hand you an existing team, an inherited client list, and a number to hit. This one hands you a market. Specialized Recruiting Group is launching in Lakewood, Colorado, and we're looking for the leader who will build it. You'll define the verticals, land the first clients, hire the first producers, and set the culture from day one. What you build, you'll lead — and you'll have a defined pathway to owning a piece of it. This isn't a startup gamble. The office infrastructure is in place, the launch is funded by ownership with a track record of running successful SRG offices in Portland and Phoenix, and you'll have the brand strength of Express Employment International behind you — $3.7B in revenue across 870+ locations worldwide. You also won't start cold. Our regional leadership spent nearly two decades running a technology staffing firm with a Denver office, and those relationships are being activated on this office's behalf before you walk in the door. Why Denver Denver is the 17th largest job market in the U.S., with roughly 308,000 professional and business services jobs and 78,000+ active openings. We're launching as a specialized firm, not a generalist one. We'll be focusing on these markets: Aerospace & Defense Technology Healthcare & Bioscience Finance & Fintech Clean Energy
What you'll do:
Activate your network and ours to open client conversations ahead of launch Select the verticals where your relationships run deepest and build the go-to-market plan around them Land the first clients and deliver the placements that establish our reputation in the market Recruit, coach, and develop your own team of producers Build both direct hire and contract capability across the Denver metro Set the culture — it isn't handed to you What you bring 5+ years in the Colorado market with live client and candidate relationships. This is the most important qualification on this list. A track record of building a book of business, not inheriting one Demonstrated ability to recruit, coach, and retain high-performing producers Credibility in executive-level client conversations Depth in professional recruiting, ideally in one or more of our target verticals Comfort owning a P&L and being accountable to a plan Motivation to build something durable We've deliberately left a specific degree off this list. If you've built a business, developed people, and can point to the results, we want to talk. Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional track record.
What we offer:
A defined pathway to equity participation tied to profitability milestones Real P&L authority over strategy, hiring, service mix, and growth pace Committed capital and established infrastructure Proven operating playbooks and peer leadership from two successful sister offices The Express Employment International brand behind you
Benefits: health, dental, vision, retirement, PTO w/matching!
