Location: London (Hybrid) | Reports to: CEO
Company: Nicholson Search & Selection
At Nicholson, we don’t just fill roles — we build leadership teams for the most ambitious startups and scaleups in the world. From VC-backed disruptors to category-defining SaaS companies, our executive search, interim, and contract divisions power growth across Europe and North America.
After 20+ years of success, we're entering our next phase — and we’re looking for a true business leader to drive it.
This isn’t a typical “recruitment manager” role. This is your chance to lead the UK and North America region as Managing Director, with full sales and P&L ownership, direct access to our CEO, and a clear mission: scale Nicholson’s presence across the UK and North America and take us to the next level.
What You’ll Own:
* Drive new business and lead commercial growth across the UK & North America
* Build and deepen partnerships with high-growth scaleups, PE & VC firms
* Shape and execute regional GTM and hiring strategy alongside the CEO
* Lead, inspire and grow a team of top-tier consultants — and build new ones
* Stay hands-on with senior clients, C-level mandates, and strategic accounts
What We’re Looking For:
* A proven sales leader in tech recruitment or B2B SaaS/tech services
* Strong leadership track record — growing teams and driving commercial results
* Someone who thrives on ownership, pace, and building from the front
* You speak the language of founders, investors, and CEOs — and know how to deliver
Why Nicholson?
* Work directly with a founder-led business that's scaling fast
* High six-figure package + performance-based equity
* Autonomy, trust, and support — we back our leaders
* Offices in London, Paris, and Frankfurt — with global expansion underway
* 4-day work week — yes, really
* You’ll be shaping something that matters — and making your mark
Ready to lead something real?
We’re not looking for another player — we’re looking for our next captain.
If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to build, lead, and scale — this is it.
