Executive Search Consultant

Executive Search Consultant | Financial Services | London (3 days onsite)

I'm partnering with a highly regarded boutique retained search firm that specialises exclusively in financial services. They're known in the market for the quality of their work, long-standing client relationships and a genuinely collaborative, low-ego culture, and they're now looking to add an experienced Consultant to their growing London team.

The opportunity

You'll run senior, retained mandates end to end across financial services, working closely with the firm's Partners on business development, client relationships and delivery. With a flat structure and no internal politics, there's real scope to build your own profile and a clear route towards Principal and Partner for the right person.

What you'll be doing

Leading search execution from strategy and market mapping through to candidate assessment, shortlist presentation and offer management. You'll act as a trusted adviser to clients and candidates at board and C-suite level, contribute to pitches and new business, and help shape the firm's market insight and thought leadership.

What they're looking for

Several years' experience in retained executive search (or a comparable research-led, senior-level recruitment environment), ideally with exposure to financial services, whether banking, asset and wealth management, insurance, private markets or fintech. You'll bring strong assessment and stakeholder skills, a consultative approach, and the ambition to grow within a boutique where your contribution is highly visible.

What's on offer

A competitive base salary with a transparent, rewarding bonus structure, hybrid working (3 days a week in their central London office), and the chance to join a small, high-performing team that invests properly in its people.
