Search Consultant - Power Infrastructure & Battery Technology
AI-Native | Full-Cycle | Equity-Track
The Opportunity
Sourcechange is hiring search consultants who operate differently. We don't need people who can just make calls and send CVs - we need dealmakers who build their own tools, automate their own workflows, and use AI to outperform teams twice their size.
You'll lead full-cycle mandates in power infrastructure and battery technology - markets where capital and engineering intersect, demand is structural, and the best recruiters operate more like analysts than administrators. You'll run your own desk with uncapped earnings, equity participation, and a direct path to leadership in a business built for long-term value creation and exit.
Why This Role Is Different
The recruitment industry is splitting. On one side: traditional recruiters drowning in admin, manually sourcing, and competing on volume. On the other: a new breed of AI-native consultants who build signal-based pipelines, automate enrichment and outreach, and use data to make smarter decisions faster.
We're hiring for the second category. At Sourcechange, every consultant is expected to leverage our AI-native tech stack - and, increasingly, to extend it. If you can prompt an LLM, build a workflow, or wire up an API, you'll multiply your output and your earnings.
Who We Are
* A search and advisory firm operating at the intersection of technology and infrastructure.
* We partner with leading investors, developers, and operators scaling power infrastructure and battery technology across North America.
* We place finance, engineering, and leadership talent - combining contingent speed with retained diligence.
* We run on an AI-native tech stack: AI-powered sourcing, automated candidate enrichment, signal-based pipeline construction, and real-time market intelligence. This isn't a bolt-on - it's how we work.
Who You Are
Core: You're a commercially driven recruiter who has billed successfully in a 360-degree context. You thrive in technical, talent-scarce markets. You value measurable results over politics and long-term reward over short-term noise. You have grit - an exceptional work ethic, unrelenting determination, and tenacity are prerequisites.
Technical Edge: You're comfortable with AI tools and actively seek to integrate them into your workflow - or you're determined to learn. We're looking for consultants who will:
* Treat AI as a core part of their workflow, not a novelty
* Proactively build tools and automations that give them a sourcing and execution edge
* Contribute to the design and development of proprietary tools and products that enhance efficiency and strengthen our offering to clients and candidates
* Take ownership of their data, their pipeline architecture, and their tech stack
* Contribute to the firm's collective intelligence - sharing workflows, prompts, and innovations across the team
What You'll Do
* Lead full-cycle searches across power infrastructure and battery technology (BESS)
* Originate new client relationships and expand existing partnerships across PE-backed and public platforms
* Source, assess, and close top-tier technical, commercial, and leadership talent
* Structure and negotiate mandates across retained, contingent, and embedded models
* Build and maintain your own AI-augmented research and sourcing toolkit - we provide the stack, you push it further
* Own your ATS data quality, pipeline analytics, and candidate enrichment processes
* Develop signal-based sourcing strategies that surface candidates before they hit the market
* Build a personal market and brand - your clients, your profit stream, your reputation
What We Offer
* Earnings: Uncapped commission, market-leading structure up to 60% even at Associate level
* Progression: Associate to Director within 5 years - based on output, not tenure
* Equity: Equity participation for high performers in a business built for exit
* International: US sponsorship and transfer opportunities
* Tech Stack: AI-native tooling that eliminates admin and multiplies output - plus freedom to build on top of it
* Market: Power Infrastructure & Battery Technology - structural growth, serious capital, scarce talent
* Culture: Meritocratic. Performance rewarded. No politics.
* Mentorship: Upskilled by founders with seven-figure billing track records and prior exits
The Technical Edge - What Sets You Apart
To be clear: this is a recruitment role, not a technology role. The best consultants at Sourcechange will be defined by the depth of their market knowledge, the strength of their relationships, and their ability to advise clients and candidates with authority. AI and automation exist to remove friction - so you spend more time on the phone, in the market, and building the niche expertise that sets you apart. The technical capability amplifies the human work. It doesn't replace it.
The best recruiters in the next decade won't just be great at relationships - they'll be the ones who can build and automate their own systems. At Sourcechange, we're investing in people who sit at the intersection of commercial recruitment and technical capability. You don't need to be an engineer. But you need to be the kind of person who sees a repetitive task and thinks: how do I automate this?
Culture & Progression
Progression at Sourcechange is meritocratic. Your trajectory depends on outputs, outcomes, and values - not how long you've been around. You'll be mentored by founders with seven-figure billing track records who have previously scaled search firms to successful exits. We're building an industry-leading brand, not boutique comfort.
If you want to grow something of consequence, be paid for what you produce, and work at the cutting edge of how recruitment is evolving - this is your environment.
