Executive Search Partner

The proposition

This is a partnership, structured the way PwC or EY structure one: you hold a practice, you carry its economics, and you participate in what it earns rather than receiving a share of what somebody else decides it earned.

We are not offering a senior salaried seat with the word partner on it. The distinction matters and we would rather lose a candidate to it than discover it in year two.

What you own

• Origination. Your clients, your relationships, your mandates. The firm's brand, corpus and technology behind you, not in front of you.
• The practice P&L. Pricing, mix, margin and the decision about which mandates are worth taking. Including the ones worth declining.
• The delivery standard. Consultants working on your mandates work to your standard, and your name is on the brief.
• The team. You hire into your practice as its economics allow.

What the firm brings

A live mandate corpus of 800-plus C-suite and board seats, a members' platform with the executives already inside it, a governance dataset covering listed-company boards, and a research function that does not need to be built from scratch. Most partners joining a new firm spend eighteen months rebuilding infrastructure. That is not the constraint here.

What we are honest about

Partnership economics reward origination and punish coasting, and the first year is the hard one. If your following is not portable, this will not work and both of us will know by month nine. We would rather have that conversation now.
