Executive Search & Interim – Technology & Transformation
We’re looking for a Principal Recruitment Consultant to operate as a true senior contributor within our business. This is a hands-on, client-facing role for someone who knows how to win, manage, and deliver high-value recruitment assignments at a senior level.
This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, accountability, and working with senior stakeholders rather than volume or transactional recruitment.
The role
You’ll act as a trusted partner to clients, owning relationships end-to-end and delivering senior appointments across permanent and interim mandates.
Key responsibilities include:
- Winning new business through intelligent, relationship-led conversations
- Managing and growing existing client accounts at a senior level
- Leading executive search and headhunting assignments (C-suite, C-1, senior leadership)
- Delivering complex, high-quality searches with discretion and pace
- Advising clients on market conditions, talent availability, and hiring strategy
- Acting as an Account Director on key accounts, owning delivery and commercial outcomes
- Managing senior candidates through structured, high-touch processes
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience as a Principal Consultant / Senior Consultant / Account Director in recruitment
- Strong track record of winning and managing client relationships
- Experience delivering senior-level hires (ideally executive search or senior contingent)
- Comfortable operating with CIOs, CTOs, Transformation Leaders, and Board-level stakeholders
- Commercially minded, credible, and confident in senior conversations
- High standards around quality, delivery, and client experience
- Self-starting, disciplined, and able to operate with autonomy
What’s on offer
- Senior role with genuine ownership and influence
- Competitive base salary with strong commission / bonus upside
- Flexibility and autonomy in how you operate
- Opportunity to help shape accounts, clients, and long-term growth
If you’re operating at principal level already – or doing the job without the title – this is a role where your experience and judgement genuinely matter
