Executive Research Partner
We connect exceptional leaders to opportunities that transform businesses and careers.
At GRG Executive Search, we believe that great leadership changes everything. Whether it's a FTSE 100 boardroom appointment or finding the perfect leader for a fast-growing scale-up, we're focused on making connections that create real impact. Our approach is personal, we're changing careers and shaping the future of organisations across the UK.
With our collaborative, non-hierarchical culture and passion for people, we've built something special. Our Researchers and Partners work together to deliver search that actually matters.
You'll be a detective, strategist and relationship-builder all rolled into one. This isn't your typical researcher role, you'll be leading research strategy, managing client relationships, and identifying the leaders who'll shape tomorrow's businesses.
Your day-to-day
You'll drive research excellence that identifies top-tier talent, working across a range of industries from SME’s to established multinationals, you'll devise and lead research approaches that go way beyond LinkedIn searches. You'll map entire industries, spot emerging talent, and build the kind of candidate networks that set us apart.
You'll build deep client relationships from initial briefings to final presentations, you'll be front and centre with our clients. You'll champion diversity and create outstanding candidate experiences, every conversation matters. You'll make sure our longlists reflect the full spectrum of talent out there, and every candidate - whether they get the role or not - walks away feeling valued and respected. We're building relationships for the long-term.
You'll focus on continuous improvement utilising our inhouse database, research methodologies and market intelligence - you'll constantly be thinking about how we can enhance our approach and deliver even better results.
