Executive Search Consultant

Salary: Base + Uncapped Commission | OTE $200K+ | Avg. Fee $80K

About the Role:


You’ll be part of a team of ~15 elite consultants focused on high-value leadership and C-suite mandates. The average deal size ranges from $500K to $1.5M in billings, with searches commanding salaries of $200K to over $1M.


This isn’t a volume-driven or KPI-heavy environment. The focus is on quality, deep client relationships, and long-term results- ideal for senior professionals looking to move away from a rigid, corporate structure and into a values-driven, results-oriented culture.



Compensation & Rewards:


  • Base Salary: 15–20% uplift on current earnings (DOE)

  • Commission: Starting at 35%, scaling to 50%

  • Bonuses: Awarded for value-driven contributions and team impact (not just revenue)

  • Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP): For Principal-level and above



Benefits:


  • 100% employer-covered healthcare and dental

  • Wellness perks: Gym & mental health memberships

  • Knowledge Fund: Learn a new skill or hobby, on the house

  • Financial Advisor access

  • Flexibility: Annual trips and hybrid working

  • Personalised training from an in-house L&D team
