Executive Search Researcher | Global Consumer Search Firm | Base to £60k + strong OTE
Most researcher roles in executive search involve supporting someone else’s searches indefinitely.
This one has a defined route to Senior Associate, Consultant and Partner, at a firm where the average search fee is around £80k.
The firm is a market leader in senior leadership search across FMCG and CPG, QSR, consumer healthcare, infrastructure and retail, working with some of the most recognised brands in global search. Mandates typically sit between £150k and £500k in base salary.
Recent searches give a sense of the scope:
- General Manager, Global Retail (Chicago)
- Global Director of Ecommerce (Paris)
- Group Financial Controller (Sweden)
- SVP R&D North America (Nashville)
- VP Sales China (Beijing)
- Chief Supply Chain Officer (Switzerland)
The work: mapping global consumer markets and organisational structures, identifying and engaging senior leadership talent, supporting or leading delivery on retained searches, and contributing market insight that feeds into new client opportunities.
Worth stating clearly: they will consider consultants transitioning from other verticals, other markets, or contingency recruitment. If you can engage credibly with senior stakeholders and you’re commercially curious, the search methodology can be taught.
Package: base to £60k with some flex for the right person, strong OTE, and genuine progression rather than a title change every two years.
