Associate for Board Level Executive Search Firm

7 days ago

London UK, UK, United Kingdom Maiden Marc Associates Full time

Maiden Marc Associates are working with a leading boutique Executive Search firm covering Board and Director level placements across Finance Services, Industrials, Technology Media and Telecoms, Private Equity and the Consumer space. They are consistently retained on 'C-Suite Level' searches by some of the most prestigious institutions across EMEA, North America and Asia.


Established in 2000 with an ambition to become unrivalled in their market knowledge and reputation, they have succeeded in building a brand respected by clients, candidates, and competitors alike. They are widely considered one of the industry's best boutique retained search firms.


As a business, they promote organic growth and foster a genuine meritocratic environment, with almost all current Partners having started within the business as Associates and grown with the company.


Joining in at either Associate or Senior Associate level with a base of £38,000 to £60,000 (depending on experience) plus a performance-weighted industry-leading annual bonus structure, you will develop with the long-term aim of moving into a revenue-generating Consulting role as the depth of your sector knowledge increases over your career.


This is achieved through a combination of 'on-desk' market exposure and a rotational development program perfected over their 20+ years of trading. This program gives Associates a balance of senior exposure and strategic involvement in the consulting, delivery and research process - rotating them across four coverage areas and allowing them to specialise in a chosen vertical over time based on performance and personal preference.


As you develop, you will be given responsibility for more significant parts of mandate management and delivery, including:


  • Identifying, referencing, and assessing potential candidates for retained mandates
  • Ongoing research and networking to source top performers from talent pools across their core markets
  • Creating forensic competitor analysis, including strategic overviews, benchmarking, bespoke market and product intelligence reports through referencing and profiling market leaders
  • Assisting and running the client side execution of active mandates
  • Conducting pre-pitch/origination research and due diligence, as well as proactively supporting strategic projects
  • Active outreach and long-term relationship building with the top talent in the market


The typical profile of a successful candidate would include the following:


  • Excellent research and academic credentials with a degree or postgraduate qualification
  • 1 to 5 years of commercial experience in recruitment, headhunting, executive search, or transferable professional service experience from consulting, expert networks, law training contracts or grad schemes
  • A naturally inquisitive, well-organised, structured, resilient, and disciplined personality with a high level of attention to detail
  • An analytical thinking process coupled with a polished and well-rounded communication technique
  • Exceptional rapport-building skills and the ability to excel from day one in a commercial, professional and driven environment
  • A drive to build a career in retained 'C level' executive search within a respected industry leader


Please reach out if you meet the above criteria and are interested in learning more about this opportunity.
