About the role
- Use research to identify non-obvious and adjacent talent pools, rather than relying solely on obvious competitors, titles, or previously known candidates.
- Conduct substantive candidate conversations that assess leadership trajectory, scope, impact, motivations, and alignment with the opportunity.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring executives throughout the search, providing market intelligence, candidate calibration, and recommendations rather than simply facilitating the process.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end searches for leadership roles across the company, with a focus on Director, VP, and executive-level hiring.
- Partner directly with executives and hiring leaders to translate business needs into clear leadership profiles, competencies, and search strategies.
- Lead the research and market-mapping strategy for each search, developing a comprehensive view of the relevant talent landscape before and throughout execution.
- Build detailed target-company ecosystems, identifying companies based on stage, scale, business model, functional maturity, growth trajectory, and other factors relevant to the search.
- Map leadership teams and organizational structures within target companies to identify the individuals who own the relevant scope, as well as high-potential leaders operating one level below.
- Develop and continuously refine hypotheses around where the strongest talent is likely to sit, using candidate conversations and market intelligence to improve the search.
- Proactively identify and engage passive leadership candidates through thoughtful, highly personalized outreach and relationship building.
- Design and drive disciplined search processes, including kickoff, research strategy, market mapping, candidate development, interview strategy, references, compensation discussions, and closing.
- Maintain a high bar for candidate experience and discretion, particularly for confidential or highly sensitive searches.
- Build long-term relationships with exceptional leaders who may become relevant to the company over time.
Requirements
- Ability to synthesize large amounts of market information into a clear point of view and communicate that perspective to senior stakeholders.
- Strong candidate assessment skills and the ability to distinguish scope, trajectory, and leadership impact from title or company pedigree.
Nice to have
- Executive search, ideally supporting venture-backed, growth-stage, or technology companies
Compensation
- Translate research into actionable market insights for hiring executives, including talent availability, compensation, organizational structures, candidate patterns, and potential tradeoffs.
