Job Description
Job Title: Consultant – Marketing (Senior Hires)
Location: London or Remote
Level: Consultant / Senior Consultant
Salary: £30,000 – £50,000 base + uncapped commission
The Opportunity
Our client, a specialist search firm, is looking to hire a Consultant to lead senior-level Marketing hires.
This role exists because their clients don’t need recruiters — they need advisors. Marketing leadership hires are high-stakes, nuanced, and rarely solved through traditional recruitment methods.
You’ll work on retained and high-value searches, partnering with founders, CMOs, and boards to deliver senior Marketing talent that genuinely moves the business forward.
If you’re currently recruiting marketing roles and want to operate at a more strategic, search-led level, this role is designed for that step up.
The Role
* Deliver end-to-end senior Marketing searches (Head of, Director, VP, CMO)
* Partner with senior stakeholders to define role scope, success criteria, and search strategy
* Lead market mapping and talent identification at leadership level
* Run discreet, high-touch candidate processes
* Build long-term client and candidate relationships at senior level
* Contribute to the growth of the Marketing practice within the firm
This is search work — not volume recruitment.
What Sets This Firm Apart
* Genuine search-led model (retained and retained-style work)
* High trust and autonomy for Consultants
* Focus on quality, depth, and long-term partnerships
* London or remote working
* Clear progression into Senior Consultant / Principal pathways
* Low-ego, intellectually rigorous culture
Consultants are trusted to lead searches properly — not pushed into transactional behaviour.
Who They’re Looking For
* Experience in recruitment or executive search
* Non-negotiable: experience recruiting Marketing roles
* Exposure to senior or leadership-level hires is strongly preferred
* Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and confidential searches
* Consultative, commercially aware, and quality-driven
This is not a junior or delivery-only role.
What’s On Offer
* £30,000 – £50,000 base salary (DOE)
* Uncapped commission
* London or remote flexibility
* Clear progression and practice ownership
* Supportive, experienced leadership
