Head of Consulting - Finland

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.

As Head of Consulting, you will own the development and growth of Birn+Partners' consulting business in Finland. You will work closely with our Managing Director and our consultants, and play a central role in building a stronger, more integrated offering alongside executive search. It is a role that brings together strategic development and hands-on business building.

The role:

• Build, lead and develop Birn+Partners' consulting portfolio — leadership development, coaching & mentoring, career advisory, and more

• Identify and open new client relationships, while growing the ones we already have

• Act as a trusted sparring partner to clients on executive and board-level questions

• Drive cross-sell and upsell opportunities together with the executive search team

• Contribute actively to international collaboration and to development at Nordic and European level

• If you wish, work as a consultant yourself across executive search and board services.

What we are looking for: For someone who combines strong commercial thinking, a consultative approach, and the drive to build something new.

• Experience in leadership consulting, advisory, or a comparable business

• The ability to develop consulting services and a track record of selling them to demanding clients

• A strong understanding of organisations, leadership, and change

• A proven record of growing a business or building something from the ground up

• Excellent interpersonal and networking skills

• Fluent Finnish and English (Swedish is an advantage).

What we offer

• The chance to build and lead a consulting business in Finland, in practice, from the ground up into its next phase

• A strong international network and the backing of colleagues across the Nordics and Europe

• An entrepreneurial culture built on collaboration, openness, and a genuine willingness to help

• Real influence over the direction and growth of the firm, the freedom to succeed as if you were running your own business, as part of ours

• A genuinely good consulting crew, where there is no shortage of conversation and humour alongside high-quality work

• A company that values a strong work ethic, flexibility, adaptability, and the will to succeed

• Great team spirit and a community where every one of us operates with an entrepreneurial mindset.
