Executive Search & Interim – Technology & Transformation
We’re looking for a Principal Recruitment Consultant to operate as a true senior contributor within our business. This is a hands-on, client-facing role for someone who knows how to win, manage, and deliver high-value recruitment assignments at a senior level.
This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, accountability, and working with senior stakeholders rather than volume or transactional recruitment.
The role
You’ll act as a trusted partner to clients, owning relationships end-to-end and delivering senior appointments across permanent and interim mandates.
Key responsibilities include:
Winning new business through intelligent, relationship-led conversations
Managing and growing existing client accounts at a senior level
Leading executive search and headhunting assignments (C-suite, C-1, senior leadership)
Delivering complex, high-quality searches with discretion and pace
Advising clients on market conditions, talent availability, and hiring strategy
Acting as an Account Director on key accounts, owning delivery and commercial outcomes
Managing senior candidates through structured, high-touch processes
What we’re looking for
Proven experience as a Principal Consultant / Senior Consultant / Account Director in recruitment
Strong track record of winning and managing client relationships
Experience delivering senior-level hires (ideally executive search or senior contingent)
Comfortable operating with CIOs, CTOs, Transformation Leaders, and Board-level stakeholders
Commercially minded, credible, and confident in senior conversations
High standards around quality, delivery, and client experience
Self-starting, disciplined, and able to operate with autonomy
What’s on offer
Senior role with genuine ownership and influence
Competitive base salary with strong commission / bonus upside
Flexibility and autonomy in how you operate
Opportunity to help shape accounts, clients, and long-term growth
If you’re operating at principal level already – or doing the job without the title – this is a role where your experience and judgement genuinely matter
