Executive Search Consultant

Search Consultant — Digital, Data, Technology & Operations (DDTO)
New York | Retained Executive Search | Hybrid

A leading retained executive search firm with offices in New York and London is looking to hire a Search Consultant into their growing DDTO practice.

This is not a volume staffing role. The firm operates exclusively on retained mandates, working with CEOs, CIOs, CTOs and CPOs at some of the world's most prominent financial services organisations. Ninety percent of mandates sit at director, managing director and board level. The client base spans investment banking, asset management, insurance and fintech — and the firm's reputation in the market is built on long-term, repeat relationships rather than transactional delivery.

The Opportunity
The primary objective of this role is to build a network in non-financial services DDTO — a genuinely clean slate with real commercial purpose behind it. You will be supported by an established team, an existing client base and a partner-led culture that values precision and expertise over activity metrics.

You will be expected to meet candidates face to face every week, build a sustainable long-term network and manage searches from market mapping through to shortlist presentation and offer stage. International travel is part of the role.

What we are looking for

One to three years of recruitment experience in executive search or quality contingency

Knowledge of at least one of the following: operations, product, digital, technology or artificial intelligence

A demonstrable track record of sourcing, referencing and telephone-based networking

Comfortable approaching senior candidates and pitching clients directly

Strong attention to detail with genuine interest in market mapping and building

High emotional intelligence, team orientation and resilience

Proficient in PowerPoint and Microsoft Office

What makes this different
The firm is three days in office at a premium managed workspace in Midtown Manhattan, with two days from home. You will have access to an existing retained client base from day one, work alongside experienced partners and be encouraged to develop client relationships of your own from an early stage — something rarely offered at one to three years in.

Compensation
Base Salary - $120,000 to $180,000 plus discretionary performance based bonuses.
