Maiden Marc Advisory Partnership
Maiden Marc Advisory is partnering with a market-leading executive search firm to support the growth of its London team. Operating for over 20 years, they work on a retained basis with some of the biggest names in Venture Capital and Private Equity as well as high-growth corporates across EMEA and North America.
Following a strong start to 2026, they are looking to hire at the Associate and Senior Associate levels across several functionally focused teams, including Product, Tech & AI, Digital & Data, as well as their Technology sector practice that covers General Management, Board and commercially integral hires for a range of tech-focused clients.
With a reputation for delivering high-impact senior search work, the business is focused on building on its modern, low-ego, highly collaborative internal team environment. It’s a particularly interesting time to join, with the firm actively investing in its Associate team and aiming to develop these profiles into future business leaders.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
- Building long lists and mapping markets across sector/functionally specific landscapes
- Identifying, engaging and assessing senior candidates for retained projects
- Conducting detailed competitor analysis and market intelligence
- Supporting the execution of retained search mandates end-to-end through candidate and client engagement
- Contributing to pitch preparation and research-led client work as well as assisting in the pitching for new retained mandates
Over time, there is a clear progression towards greater ownership of mandates, increased exposure to clients, and a development path to revenue generation with a strong historical success rate.
Ideal Candidate
The role would suit someone with prior executive search experience who enjoys the research and delivery side, but is looking to develop towards a more client-facing position or someone with strong contingent delivery skills looking to transition into the search world.
