Lowen Talent - Executive Search Consultant Opportunity
Lowen Talent is a leading Executive Search firm based in Leeds, operating exclusively within private equity, partnering with PE firms and their portfolio companies across Europe and North America. The firm secures investment and back-office talent for its clients, before its portfolio division goes on to place CEO, CFO, and COO profiles into the businesses those firms acquire. Since its founding in 2017, the business has grown consistently year on year, and it is now expanding its Leeds team once again on the back of that success.
About the Role
This is a considered, research-led approach to search, worlds apart from high-volume, generalist recruitment. Every consultant is supported by a dedicated research and administration team, freeing you to focus entirely on the work that drives results: building relationships, understanding markets, and delivering for clients at the highest level. Average placement fees sit at approximately £87,000, with the firm's record fee exceeding £250,000, a clear indication of the calibre of work involved. Underpinning all of it is a culture built genuinely around self-development, where the growth of the business and the growth of its people are treated as one and the same. For graduates who embrace that, realistic earnings of £80,000 within two years are well within reach.
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.
The Calibre of Person They're Looking For
- Ideally a First or at least a high 2:1 in a recent degree
- A clear, demonstrable record of success, whether academic, athletic, or otherwise
- Genuine ambition, paired with real ownership of your own development
- Resilience and a strong work ethic, with the appetite to be challenged
- Openness to feedback and a sincere commitment to continuous improvement

What the Role Involves
- Delivering genuine executive search assignments, placing senior investment and C-suite professionals into private equity-backed businesses
- Conducting thorough, research-led candidate identification, rather than relying on job boards or volume-based sourcing

- Partnering with clients at a consultative level, understanding their business beyond the immediate brief
- Managing assignments from initial brief through to successful placement, supported by dedicated research and admin resource
- Being measured against genuine progress and development, not arbitrary targets
