We're a rapidly growing team with a strong base of clients, and we're looking to scale our London office to support client relationship development and the management of the firm's growth consultancy (recruitment and start-up advisory) processes.We do not specialise in high-volume contingent recruitment or just grind job boards. Instead, we work directly with CEOs and M&A Directors across insurance, FinTech, and financial sectors to execute retained search mandates, long-term growth advisory, and strategic team lifts.This role will be centred around market research; specifically meeting and engaging with people every day with the aim of learning about market movements, interesting team lift opportunities, and potential new business expansion for our clients.We're looking for an organised people-person who's genuinely interested in gaining a front seat into building million dollar businesses, someone who values variety in their day, and someone who's hell-bent on making an actual difference to companies and candidates. Our clients are in critical growth phases - often scaling rapidly post VC/PE fundraising round - and rely on us to deliver honest, high-quality processes at pace for them.The ideal candidate will have:A strong academic background - we need intelligence to do interesting work in interesting ways.Genuinely excellent people skills and the ability to bring energy into every room that you're in.An understanding of the difference between 'working hard' and 'working smart', and the drive to pick the right one.Any experience in high-performance environments - sport, debating, music etc - is very valuable if you can tell us why you did it, and what you learned.We don't care about years worked or about your degree (if you did one).We're offering up to £40K base + uncapped commission, genuine autonomy over your work, and a pathway to company equity and senior leadership. The role title doesn't matter, and within reason you can decide what you want to be called - the actual responsibilities of the role define it, not the title.You must be a UK citizen (or otherwise have the right to work in the UK) to be eligible for this role as we can't sponsor visas just yet.
