Boutique specialist search firm – Financial Services & GTM
Brighton | Hybrid – in the office Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Package: £30,000 – £40,000 basic (sweet spot £30k–£35k) + no-threshold commission up to 25%
Inherit Big 4 accounts on day one. Five or six roles a year land on your desk at £10k–£20k a fee – that's £50k–£100k of work handed to you. No new logos to chase.
THE BUSINESS
- Specialist search firm across niche specialisms in the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific and the US – operating in 13 countries
- Data & Analytics, Go-to-Market, Risk Management and Sales, with a Financial Services focus
- Works with FTSE 250 companies and Big 4 consultancies, as well as start-ups and boutiques
- 100+ placements and a 50,000+ candidate network
- Relationship-driven, not a cold-call factory – "Partnership first. Talent always"
- A deliberately boutique team: 8 in Brighton now, and never more than 12
- Group model: a finance and operations manager, brand marketing and website support, and a pool of 4 delivery consultants who can pick up overflow roles
THE ROLE
- Take over established Big 4 and boutique consulting accounts – terms and PSLs already in place
- No new business, no signing terms, no chasing PSLs – the accounts are yours from day one
- Around 5–6 roles a year land on your desk at an average fee of £10k–£20k – £50k–£100k of roles handed to you
- Grow the accounts: coffees and meetings in London with hiring managers and partners, building relationships with internal recruitment teams, sitting on briefing calls
- Deliver exceptionally when the roles land
- You: commercial, proactive, with really strong relationship management skills – ideally earlier in your career, with a genuine reason for moving
- In the office Mon, Wed and Fri – Monday starts with the team meeting on live roles, accountability and where support is needed
WHY YOU'D JOIN
- No-threshold, progressive commission and full ownership of the accounts
- A team with a strong bond that shares work and helps each other
- People who join from outside FS do well – a hire from legal tech has been there three years and is close to promotion to Associate Director
- Tailored 18–24 month career plans, in-house academy training and a Management Training course
- A clear route to Director, with equity shareholding
COMMISSION
- Up to 25%, no threshold – banded on annual billings:
