Associate Director - Executive Search
Manchester | Hybrid £65–80k OTE (uncapped)
Are you an experienced billing manager looking for your next big opportunity to shape the trajectory of a high-growth executive search firm? This role is for you.
Our client has firmly established itself as one of the UK’s leading independent executive search firms (entirely retained business). Already recognised for its exceptional success among retained search specialists, the business continues to expand market share, challenging industry titans—just not by playing their traditional game.
This is a modern, entrepreneurial force rooted in relationships, innovation, and delivering outstanding experiences—for clients and candidates alike. From leveraging video technology to challenging obsolete recruitment practices, they’re redefining retained executive search for the digital age.
The Opportunity
As Associate Director, you’ll inherit a powerful, already-successful platform to build upon. This business thrives on strength—with rapid growth, an enviable reputation, and a collaborative environment where momentum turns into impact.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Initially, your focus will be on execution: Bring clarity to retained executive search engagements while nurturing existing client relationships, spotting growth opportunities, and expanding your own client base.
Beyond delivery, you’ll lead a skilled team of recruitment professionals, supporting them daily through challenges and investing in their careers.
This is a real progression path with a bright future:
- Strategic expansion in Manchester, London (and beyond).
- A visionary leadership role is within reach—potential for Managing Director down the line.
What You’ll Bring
You’ll stand out as results-driven leadership, blending pedigree with ambition.
- Proven executive search background (not a harder-to-fill requirement—professional sector Billing Manager expertise is flexible).
- A track record of consistent billing success—your numbers reflect reliability.
- A reputation for longevity and relationship-building (turnover is not an option here).
- Team-first mindset. This business trusts that collaboration fuels results.
- Unquenchable ambition—you’re ready to step into senior leadership.
