The role

This is a genuine player-coach opportunity. You’ll continue to generate your own revenue while also stepping into a leadership role driving team performance, developing consultants, and contributing to the wider growth of the office.

You’ll be trusted to:

• Lead, coach, and develop Consultants and/or Associate Consultants
• Drive team performance through metrics, data, and meaningful coaching conversations
• Build strong, long-term client partnerships at a senior level
• Own and grow key accounts within private equity and alternative investments

What makes this role different

• Leadership without stepping away from billings – grow your impact and your earnings
• High-performing, collaborative culture – no lone wolves here; success is shared
• Clear progression – structured development and genuine investment in your leadership capability
• Employee ownership model – a real stake in the business and its success
• Balance that actually works – 3 days in the office, 2 from home

What we’re looking for

You might already be a Senior Consultant ready for that next step, or an existing Managing Consultant looking for a stronger platform.

You’ll likely bring:

• A strong track record in recruitment (ideally within professional services or similar high-value markets)
• Experience managing or mentoring others or a clear desire to step into leadership alongside proven experience delivering
• Commercial mindset with confidence in client-facing and business development activity
• High standards, accountability, and a genuine interest in developing people
• Alignment with our values: passionate, authentic, team-driven, challenging, and humble

Interested?
