GTM Recruitment for Professional Services
Bid management, RevOps and marketing operations hires for professionalising firms.
Leeds is the second-largest professional services centre in the UK by employment, with Manchester close behind. Together they host a deep base of legal, accounting, advisory and consulting employers, alongside a growing community of professional-services-tech vendors. Commercial roles in this market combine partnership-style relationship management with increasingly structured BD and account-management functions.
Professional services commercial roles are increasingly being professionalised. Evara's partners have placed Heads of BD, Marketing Directors and Client Service Directors into legal, accounting and consultancy firms across the North.
Professional services commercial salaries in the North run slightly below SaaS for equivalent seats but include longer-tenure incentive structures.
How we work
01
Before we recruit, we pressure-test the role itself against your GTM operating model. Many businesses ask for a GTM Engineer when they actually need a RevOps Lead, or vice versa. This step saves a six-figure mis-hire.
02
We build a role scorecard that captures cross-functional accountabilities (sales, marketing, finance, product) and the systems environment the person will own (CRM, MAP, data warehouse, attribution).
03
GTM talent is concentrated in a narrow set of scale-ups and consultancies. We map it deliberately, including in your region, and approach passive candidates with a clear narrative about the problem to be solved.
04
Two screens: one commercial (impact delivered, cross-functional credibility, business judgement) and one technical (tooling fluency, data literacy, systems design where relevant).
05
Considered shortlist plus a 30-60-90 integration plan. GTM hires fail when they are dropped into an unclear matrix without authority. We build the authority lines into the offer.

FAQs
Yes. Head of BD and Marketing Director roles in legal, accounting and consultancy firms are a recurring part of our work, particularly in Leeds and Manchester.
GTM Engineering is the technical practice of building automated, data-driven systems across the revenue function: lead routing, signal capture, enrichment, sequencing, attribution. Done well it removes hours of manual work from sellers and lifts conversion rates materially.
Yes. RevOps is one of the most common Evara GTM searches. We screen for both the quantitative side (forecasting, attribution, capacity modelling) and the qualitative side (cross-functional credibility with a CFO and a CRO).
