About JBM
JBM is an executive search firm built for the world of high-growth tech. We partner with the UK & EU’s best VC and PE-backed scaleups, like Fyxer, OLIX, and Blue Light Card, to place the senior operators that drive their scale — across General Management, Operations, Go-To-Market, Product, and People.
We’re part of Amplified Group alongside Foundation Partners and Unleashed — an investor-backed people services group built specifically for the technology ecosystem. That means cross-pollination: shared deal flow, ideas, and a broader network of operators, founders, and investors that most boutique search firms simply don’t have access to.
What makes JBM distinct is the culture: we’re serious about building a high-performance business, and we’re equally serious about doing it with great people in an environment that’s flexible, fun, and genuinely worth showing up for. Commercial ambition and quality of life aren’t a trade-off here.
The Role
JBM’s interim and fractional division is our fastest-growing business unit, and this hire is central to taking it to the next phase of growth.
The core of the role is delivery — and delivery done at pace. Interim and fractional mandates move fast, and you’ll need to thrive in that environment.
This is a role for someone who wants to operate with real autonomy — running searches end-to-end, owning candidate relationships, and moving mandates forward without needing to be managed.
You'll work closely alongside Zach, who brings a background spanning VC, executive search, and high-growth scaleups.
As the business grows, so does your remit: contributing commercially, strategically, and shaping how the division develops.
What You’ll Do
Search delivery
* Run interim and fractional searches end-to-end — from building targeted longlists to closing placements
* Engage the market in a way that's genuinely compelling — not just identifying candidates, but becoming the person they trust when it's time to make a move\"
* Manage multiple live mandates concurrently, keeping every process moving without dropping the ball
* Own the candidate experience from first outreach to placement — relationships are our biggest asset
Sales enablement
* Build proactive candidate pools ahead of mandates landing
* Support BD preparation and VC/PE outreach — research, list-building, market intelligence
* Contributing to the flywheel: the better we deliver, the more we win
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in executive or senior recruitment — retained search, contingent, or in-house talent at a high-growth company
* A track record of running processes independently and delivering results
* Someone who moves quickly, thinks on their feet, and takes ownership
* Sharp communicator — credible with senior candidates and comfortable holding their own in client-facing moments
* Commercially aware and motivated by growth — yours and the business’s
* Energised by building something, not just executing within something already built
What We Offer
* Base salary and excellent commission
* An environment where you're trusted with real responsibility and genuine flexibility
* Real ownership and autonomy from day one
* Direct exposure to the UK & EU’s most exciting VC and PE-backed companies
* A clear path to taking on more commercial responsibility
* Five weeks’ annual leave (in addition to bank holidays)
* Hybrid working: two days/week in our Fitzrovia office
* A team that works hard, moves fast, and genuinely loves the process
