Maiden Marc Advisory Job Opportunity
Maiden Marc Advisory is collaborating with a prominent retained executive search firm, with offices in London and New York, to identify several Associate and Senior Associate-level candidates to join one of their core practices.
About the Firm
Covering the Financial Services sector, the firm has a solid history of conducting both C-Suite and senior business-critical searches within Hedge Funds, Investment Banks, Private Equity, and Asset/Wealth Managers.
Role Details
Working closely with hands-on Partners (each personally billing over £1 million annually) across their C-Suite, Front-Office, and Technology practices, the ideal candidate can either join a specific practice or rotate through the firm to gain broader exposure.
In this role, you will:
- Build your network in the market
- Manage senior professionals as a trusted advisor
- Progress into a fee-generating Principal with the support of a well-established development program
Core Skills
Candidates should have the ability to:
- Identify, reference, and proactively reach out to and assess candidates for active retained mandates via outreach, phone, in-person networking, and network referrals
- Create detailed forensic competitor analysis, strategic overviews, bespoke market benchmarking, and product intelligence reports
- Own pre-pitch/origination research and due diligence responsibilities
- Execute on search mandates from day one, focusing on candidate management and client delivery, while working closely with Partners and developing further working relationships with clients
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.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The firm is in the midst of a 5-year strategic growth plan, and the addition of high-caliber Associate and Senior Associate-level talent with the potential to become future Principals/business leaders is crucial.
They seek candidates with:
- Six months to six years of experience, preferably within a search or headhunting environment, though they would consider a high-performing contingent recruiter looking to move to retained search or someone from a relevant professional services background
- Experience working on executive search mandates, market research projects, or the ability to take on detail-oriented, project-based roles
- Excellent academic credentials alongside exemplary writing skills and a high level of attention to detail
- An analytical thinking process coupled with a well-rounded communication technique
- An engaging and driven personality that enjoys problem-solving, is motivated to deliver high-quality work, and has a natural drive to overachieve
- A desire to build a career in retained 'C-level' executive search within a respected industry leader

Additionally, they provide:
- A close-knit, high-performing collegiate culture (the whole business gets together several times a year for expense-paid company reviews)
- Opportunities for internal growth and international travel between offices
- Real hands-on mentorship and genuine development from experienced senior leadership
- A path to relocating more permanently to their New York office if of interest
