Business Manager or above
Contract Executive Search C-Suite desk | London, Cheapside
Hybrid | Salary dependant on experience
We are seeking a consultative Business Manager or above to join our flagship London office in our Executive Search and Interim team. As a Business Manager or above, your primary focus will be to engage with C-suite candidates and clients within the interim market. Based in London, you will have a UK wide remit. You will be recruiting the best and most experienced candidates for interim leadership roles within either PSEC or Private sector. You will recruit C-Suite and Director level roles across specialisms and will need to build strong internal and external relationships.
Your new team
This is an opportunity for an experienced consultant to join one of Hays' fastest growing businesses with a structured plan to develop the business and grow your own career and earnings. Uniquely we have an extensive portfolio of current, and previous users, not just of Hays Executive, but of the wider Hays UK specialist business to leverage leadership opportunities. This positions us ahead of our competition who do not have the UK wide depth and breadth of service across the range of specialisms Hays deliver to. As you would expect, our clients require comprehensive support in all elements of leadership hiring, and we therefore engage significantly with the Hays Solutions business to deliver Assessment and Development, Benchmarking and DE&I consultancy services. The Hays team are genuinely market leading and add real value to our clients holistically when engaging and delivering C-suite talent.
