Marlin Alpha is offering an exciting Partner opportunity for an experienced recruiter or finance professional looking to transition into a startup agency. This is a unique chance to build and grow the business alongside the founder, with the potential for profit-sharing rather than a traditional salary.


About Us:

Marlin Alpha is a boutique executive search firm specializing in placing top-tier talent within hedge funds, asset management, sell-side institutions, and private equity. With a global focus on financial services, we’re rapidly expanding and are seeking a driven partner to help grow the firm and lead business development efforts.


Who We’re Looking For:

This role is ideal for a variety of backgrounds, including:

  • Recruiters looking to embark on a startup recruitment journey, taking on an entrepreneurial challenge with the support of a growing firm.
  • Retired recruiters aiming to re-enter the industry with a flexible, entrepreneurial opportunity that allows them to leverage their experience.
  • Finance professionals seeking a career shift into executive search, bringing their market expertise and networks to help shape the future of talent acquisition.
  • Experienced salespeople with a passion or interest in finance or recruitment, ready to apply their client engagement and business development skills in a new industry.


Role Overview:

This role is remote in the early stages, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere. As the firm grows, there will be opportunities for in-person collaboration depending on your location and the firm’s strategic needs.

As a Partner, you will:

  • Business Development: Leverage your network and expertise to build client relationships and generate new business
  • Manage full-cycle recruitment for hedge funds, asset management, sell-side institutions, and private equity roles
  • Collaborate closely with the founder on strategic decision-making and firm growth
  • Contribute to the long-term vision and success of Marlin Alpha


What's in it for You:

  • Equity & Profit Sharing: You’ll take a share of the profits, giving you a direct stake in the success of the business
  • Partner Status: Be part of a firm from the ground up, influencing the direction and strategy of Marlin Alpha
  • Flexibility: Work from anywhere during the early stages, with opportunities for future in-person collaboration
  • Collaborative Partnership: Work alongside the founder to shape the firm’s future, driving growth in key financial markets

This is an ideal opportunity for a recruiter ready to embark on a startup journey, a retired professional wanting to be entrepreneurial, or a finance expert looking to transition into executive search. If any of these descriptions resonate with you, we would love to hear from you.


At Marlin Alpha, we believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. We welcome applicants of all genders, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. We value the unique perspectives that different experiences bring and are committed to equal opportunity in our hiring process.
