Thank you for your interest in Birn+Partners. It means a great deal to us.

We are on an ambitious journey to establish Birn+Partners as a Top 10 Executive Search and Leadership Consulting firm across Europe. To get there, we are building a team of consultants who are not only deeply skilled in their craft, but who are commercial, client-driven, and motivated by growth both their own and our clients.

If you are someone who thrives on building relationships, opening doors, and creating real commercial impact, we want to hear from you.

The Consultant role looks slightly different from market to market, but the core is the same everywhere: you work closely with clients, you understand their business deeply, and you bring both analytical sharpness and genuine instinct to every assignment.

The role

  • Work directly with executive teams and boards on strategic and organisational challenges

  • Lead and contribute to assignments across executive search and leadership advisory

  • Build and develop long-term client relationships and actively grow your own portfolio

  • Identify and convert new commercial opportunities, not just manage existing ones

  • Collaborate with experienced colleagues across Europe, sharing knowledge and leads across borders

  • Work with real autonomy, supported by a strong internal platform, shared tools, and cross-border marketing infrastructure.

What we are looking for

  • You have a track record of originating business, not just delivering it. You understand that selling professional services is a game of trust and you are good at building it, maintaining it, and converting it into long-term partnerships.

  • You are curious and intellectually sharp. You simplify complexity rather than adding to it. You prepare well, listen carefully, and bring genuine insight to every client conversation.

  • You represent the whole firm, not just yourself.

  • You are entrepreneurial. We want people who light up new ideas and follow them through. Who share what they know, challenge how things are done, and contribute to building something bigger than their own desk.

  • You are adaptable across cultures and contexts. Experience in multiple different markets is a strong advantage.

This ensures consistency, fairness, and that we get to know you from the very start. If you progress through this first stage, the relevant local Partner or Managing Director will be in touch directly to take the conversation forward.

We look forward to reading your application and thank you for the time you take.
