If you want to accelerate your earnings, career trajectory and personal growth, keep reading.


Who We Are & Why This Role Exists

We are an Executive Search firm operating at the sharpest end of quant, finance and technology recruitment.

Five years ago, we entered one of the most competitive markets in the world with no brand, no inherited clients and no right to win.

Today, we consistently outperform firms with decades of heritage.

The numbers:

  • $400k-500k+ average production per head

  • $100k-700k fee mandates

  • Multiple seven-figure billers

We didn’t win by luck. We won by building a platform that compounds performance: combining process, pressure and execution. Now, we’re scaling that platform further and giving you the chance to join.

From day one, you’ll have access to:

  • Elite hedge fund and quant tech clients with live search mandates

  • A warm desk with active accounts and established candidate networks

  • Six-figure fee mandates

  • Mentorship from multi six figure and seven figure billers

  • A search environment built for depth and precision, not volume

  • Proven execution frameworks to accelerate credibility in a new market

You are not being asked to “build a desk over time.” You are stepping into a platform where you are expected to perform immediately.


About the Role

As an Executive Search Consultant, you’ll take ownership of retained and contingent search mandates focused on the global hedge fund and quant technology markets.

This isn’t about starting from zero.

You’ll inherit an established platform built over five years, giving you access to elite clients, live search mandates and a proven track record from day one.

You’ll manage the full search lifecycle: headhunting, candidate assessment and close. As an extension of our elite clients internal teams, you will act as a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates throughout.

You’ll be supported to:

  • Build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders in a new market

  • Run structured, retained search processes for elite funds

  • Identify and secure world-class quant and technology talent

  • Operate with rigor, discretion and commercial focus

All within a system designed to accelerate your success, not slow it down.

You are an experienced search professional who has already proven you can deliver and now want to operate at a higher level.

  • Have executive search or retained search experience

  • Have managed full search mandates end-to-end, from brief to placement, not just candidate delivery

  • Be experienced in headhunting, market mapping and closing senior talent
