Job Description
### About Us
We're an embedded talent consultancy on a mission to evolve how businesses recruit. Our clients include some of the most innovative organisations in the world, from Google-backed unicorns to Fintech and SaaS scale-ups reshaping their industries.
Our team spans the UK, US, Spain, South Africa, and Vietnam. We're remote-first, globally minded, and deeply collaborative. We believe hiring should be human-centred, data-informed, and impact-driven, creating better outcomes for companies and candidates alike.
### Why This Role Exists
As an Executive Recruiter, you'll own senior leadership hiring on the ground in the US for a global enterprise software company. Embedded directly within the client, you represent their executive hiring team in the US.
This is a high-visibility seat with full ownership of US executive search. You run senior director, VP and EVP searches end to end: sourcing, deep interviewing, complex multi-part offer negotiation, and senior stakeholder management. You report into an experienced, executive-hiring leadership team, and you're supported by established infrastructure of tooling, rewards, and coordination to provide an exceptional experience to Executives.
You operate solo in the US and carry the standard for how executive hiring runs there. This is a contract engagement of twelve months, with genuine intent to convert to permanent or extend if the engagement goes well.
### What You'll Do
- Own a portfolio of executive searches end to end, senior director and above, around seven live roles at a time across product, technology and strategic commercial hiring.
- Source executive talent directly and build pipelines that reach passive senior leaders, rather than waiting on inbound.
- Run rigorous executive interviews and assessment yourself, forming your own view on each candidate rather than administering a process someone else designed.
- Lead complex, multi-part offer negotiations across base, bonus and equity, partnering with the reward team on package design.
- Represent the executive hiring team on the ground in the US, managing senior stakeholders across regions and time zones and pushing back with evidence when a search needs recalibrating.
- Work autonomously and make the call in the moment when a hire is on the line.
### What You'll Bring
- A track record as a through-and-through executive recruiter, owning senior director, VP and EVP searches. You have owned outcomes, not handed off candidates.
- Executive gravitas and presence. You hold your own with senior stakeholders, carry a room, and push back credibly at a senior level, with concrete examples to show for it.
- Enterprise scale and complexity. You understand global organisation and you're used to hiring managers and candidates spread across multiple regions.
- Deep, advanced interviewing. You personally run rigorous executive assessment and form your own judgement.
- Comfort with complex offer negotiation across base, bonus and equity.
- Independence and autonomy. You operate solo, represent the team, and need minimal hand-holding.
- Confidence and resilience in a high-visibility, high-exposure seat.
### Location and Ways of Working
- US-based in or around Atlanta, able to be onsite regularly. Three days per week is the ideal; two days acceptable for the right person.
### This Is Probably Not for You If
You have not focused on purely Exec Search recently in your career. Your strongest work is IC, mid-level or manager hiring rather than senior director and above. Or you've operated only in a single market or a boutique, without enterprise, global scale across multiple regions. This seat is executive search, run solo, at scale. You own it.
Key Responsibilities
- Own a portfolio of executive searches end-to-end for senior director and above roles.
- Source executive talent directly and build pipelines for passive senior leaders.
- Run rigorous executive interviews and assessments to form candidate judgments.
- Lead complex, multi-part offer negotiations including base, bonus, and equity.
- Represent the executive hiring team in the US and manage senior stakeholders.
- Work autonomously to make hiring decisions when critical.
