About Movemeon

Movemeon is a tech-enabled global talent business. We work with leading PE funds, global enterprises, VC-backed scale-ups and consulting firms, and help them find the best strategic, transformation and commercial talent.

We have four service offerings: Executive Search, Consulting, Interim and Teams. Founded by ex-McKinsey consultants, we have built a network of over 90,000 strategic and commercial professionals who started their careers in leading consulting or finance firms (45% are ex-McKinsey, BCG, Bain). This has attracted over 5,000 businesses to partner with us, including Bain Capital, Advent, KKR, Amazon, HelloFresh, and Uber.

Our tech enables us to outcompete others in the market. We are investing heavily in using software, data and AI to further improve how we serve our community and clients. We're also proud to be truly global, having worked in over 100 countries and have offices focused on EMEA (UK, France, DACH), APAC (Australia, New Zealand and Singapore) and the US.

Head of Interim Private Equity

We're looking for someone to join our EMEA team as the Head of Interim Private Equity.

Private Equity accounts for 60% of our business, and over the last two years has been the fastest growing segment of Movemeon. We've supported over 500 Private Equity funds globally, from Large Caps (Advent, Bain Capital, KKR, etc.) through to Small Caps and Family Offices. After our successful launch of our Executive Search business, we've seen a huge uplift in demand for senior interim talent in PE-portfolio businesses (typically Chief Transformation Officer, Head of Value creation, and functional specific roles).

The Head of Interim PE will be responsible for growing our Interim PE practice. Your main objectives will be:

• You will be responsible for a list of strategic accounts, building long-term relationships with key stakeholders to generate new business and expand existing business
• You negotiate new contracts and drive the commercial development of existing customers
• You work closely with the Director EMEA on the overall growth strategy for different industry groups (start-ups &scale-ups, corporates, PE/VC, etc.)
• You will work closely with our EMEA Success Team (our Account Management team) to ensure our employers enjoy continually best-in-class service

You'll have support from our interim success team, who will lead on the delivery of mandates.
