Join the Industry Powering the Digital Revolution
The world runs on data. Every click, every stream, every AI model, every cloud service, all depend on one thing: data centres.
This is the unseen engine room of the global economy, a sector exploding with investment, innovation, and opportunity. As the demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, the race for leadership talent has never been more critical — or more exciting.
At Data eXec, we sit right at the centre of it all.
Dedicated exclusively to the data centre and digital infrastructure sector: partnering with hyperscalers, colocation providers, operators, and innovators across Europe and the US to connect them with the leaders shaping the digital future.
The Role: Lead. Influence. Transform.
This isn’t recruitment as usual: this is executive search at the cutting edge of global technology and infrastructure.
As an Executive Search Consultant, you’ll be the face of Data eXec in boardrooms across continents. You’ll build deep, trusted relationships with C‑suite decision‑makers, win retained mandates, and deliver the leadership talent redefining how the world stores, powers, and moves data.
You’ll:
* Win and deliver retained executive searches for high-profile clients in a sector that’s growing at record speed.
* Build your own market within a fast-scaling, high-profile division backed by the powerhouse reputation of Data X Connect.
* Engage directly with global leaders – advising them on the strategies and talent shaping digital infrastructure.
* Become a visible thought leader – representing Data eXec at conferences, writing insights, and elevating your own personal brand.
This is a role where your work doesn’t just fill jobs, it changes how the digital world operates.
Who You Are
You’re entrepreneurial, ambitious, and thrive in high-stakes environments. You know how to build relationships that matter and close deals that make an impact.
You’ll bring:

* Sharp communication, influencing, and presentation skills.
* A proactive, commercial mindset with a real curiosity for technology and innovation.
* A network within the data centre, digital infrastructure, or technology/engineering ecosystem.
* Experience managing international clients or multi-country searches.
* A flair for content, public speaking, or thought leadership
Why Join Data eXec?

* High earnings potential – competitive base salary plus uncapped commission.
* Autonomy, flexibility, and global reach – hybrid working and international travel.
* Backed by an established brand, but with the freedom of a high-growth, entrepreneurial team.
* Clear path into leadership as we expand across Europe and the US.
* The platform and visibility to become a recognised voice in the most dynamic industry on Earth.
