Executive Search Consultant – Delivery

Some recruitment firms talk about pace and progression. This firm has been built around those principles from day one. As a boutique executive search firm with a genuine transatlantic presence across the UK, Canada, and the US, this business has built something most larger firms can’t replicate: real career velocity, a flat structure, and a leadership team that’s lived the journey themselves.

Their client base spans PE-backed manufacturing groups, global medical technology leaders, and some of the most innovative names in energy and advanced mobility. Their approach? Two people to a search – not five – and a genuine belief that you learn fastest by doing, not by sitting in a lane waiting your turn.

The Opportunity

Executive Search Consultant – Delivery | New York | Competitive Base + Bonus

This is a high-visibility, delivery-focused role built for someone who wants real ownership of the search process – from mapping the market through to offer – without years of hierarchy standing between them and the client relationship. You’ll be working directly alongside a senior partner who came into the business with zero prior search experience and built their way to seven-figure billings, and you’ll be on the same track.

If you’ve been doing the work but never seeing the whole picture, this is it.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Own delivery across live retained searches – market mapping, candidate identification, outreach, and presentation
• Work directly with senior leadership on every search, with full visibility of the client relationship from day one
• Be part of client update calls from the outset, building toward leading them as you grow into the role
• Focus on high-impact, VP/Director/C-suite level searches across medical technology, manufacturing, and innovation-led industries
• Build toward a genuine path into business development — no fixed timeline, driven by readiness, not tenure
• Work in a flat, two-person-per-search model with direct access to leadership and zero unnecessary layers

Who You Are

You’ve got somewhere between 18+ months and 6-7 years of experience in retained search (senior level contingency experience also considered), and ideally a background touching technical, manufacturing, or scientific industries. Most importantly, you’ve got grit – you’re proactive, you take ownership without being asked twice, and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty to get a search over the line.

• 18 months+ of search experience, retained preferred
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment with real accountability
• Naturally proactive – you look around corners rather than waiting to be told
• Strong communication and relationship-building instincts
• Genuinely curious about the industries you’d be working in, not just the paycheck

What’s In It For You

• Competitive base salary depending on experience, plus performance bonus structure
• Delivery bonus on every placement, with upside for over-performance
• A clear, demonstrable path to business development – not a promise, a proven track record
• Learn-by-doing culture with real coaching, not micromanagement
• Small, flat team structure with direct, daily access to senior leadership
• Work across genuinely innovative, purpose-driven sectors – technology that improves and saves lives, drives sustainability, and shapes the future
• No rigid hierarchy, no bottom-of-the-stack feeling – just real ownership from day one
