Executive Search Consultant @ PE-Focused Search & Advisory Firm

Right Hand Talent, Rye, NY, USA

Pay: 60.000 - 80.000

Job type: Full Time


Executive Search Consultant
Our client is a boutique executive search and advisory firm operating at the intersection of private equity, operating leadership, and strategic growth.

The firm partners closely with founders, investors, and executive teams to build high-impact leadership benches while also supporting investment-related advisory initiatives. Known for deep client embedding, rigorous execution, and a highly collaborative culture, the team maintains a 100% search completion track record.

This is not a traditional search-only environment. The firm operates across both executive search and proactive strategic advisory engagements tied to private equity transactions.

Position Overview:
The firm is seeking 12 Consultants / Senior Consultants who want meaningful exposure across executive search, advisory projects, research, and client engagement.

This is a high-standards, apprenticeship-style environment with strong visibility into both executive hiring and private equity-driven value creation.

What They Offer:
Compensation varies by level and experience and includes:

Competitive base salary

Performance-based bonus

Optional ability to co-invest in private equity deals on the same terms as partners (not obligation)

The co-invest structure creates meaningful long-term wealth creation potential and provides investment exposure typically unavailable at the consultant level.
