Interim Executive Search Consultant (Private Equity & Financial Services)
If you’re a top-billing recruiter who can win business, deliver under pressure, and wants the freedom to build something meaningful—this is worth a conversation.
Phipps Cameron is a scaling executive search firm operating across Private Equity and Financial Services, with core specialisms in M&A & Corporate Development, Strategy & Transformation, Technology, and Financial Services. We partner with high-growth, investment-backed businesses and senior leadership teams where hiring decisions directly impact value creation.
Why Now
Client demand across our interim practice is high and accelerating. You’ll step into a live, opportunity-rich environment from day one—this isn’t a slow build.
At the same time, this is very much a business for builders. You’ll be expected to develop your own client base, establish your market, and create long-term value.
The Role
* Win and deliver interim search mandates within your market
* Build and own senior client relationships
* Operate with pace across time-critical, high-impact hires
* Develop your own vertical within our core specialisms
You’ll have immediate access to active mandates and engaged clients—but success here comes from what you build, not what you inherit.
Who You Are
* A consistent top biller in a search or specialist recruitment environment
* Strong, proven business development capability
* Experience across M&A, Corporate Development, Strategy, Transformation, Technology, or Financial Services
* Commercially sharp, credible, and confident with senior stakeholders
* Entrepreneurial mindset—you want ownership, accountability, and upside
Private Equity exposure is beneficial, but not essential. We’re open to high-performing recruiters ready to step into this space.
Development & Progression
You’ll be supported, but not hand-held.
From day one, you’ll be trusted to run your desk, backed by a leadership team with deep market expertise. Continuous development is embedded—through exposure to senior clients, complex mandates, and a high-performance environment that will stretch and accelerate your growth.
The Bottom Line
* Immediate revenue opportunity through strong client demand
* Long-term upside through building your own accounts
* A scaling platform where performance is visible and rewarded
This is a role for someone who wants to hit the ground running—and build something that’s theirs.
