Uman Partners Executive Search

AI never sleeps. And the same goes for Uman Partners Executive Search. Right now, we’re offering a unique opportunity to the right individual: Director / Partner Germany (with potential equity participation). Given our overall growth, our successes in the German market and an increased demand, we’re looking to further strengthen our team on the ground. The job can be located in any bigger city in Germany.

Uman Partners is the first and unique international Executive Search company exclusively dedicated to Data (Analytics) and (Gen)AI. Some key highlights :

• We’re recognized as a solid and trusted partner in the (Gen)AI, data & digital ecosystem which we’ve been serving since 2012 (awarded the ‘EXCELLENT’ label for top management recruitment firms in Data & AI in 2025).
• We’ve a global footprint with offices in Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt & Madrid and have been supporting the best and most ambitious data & (Gen)AI initiatives in Europe and EMEA.
• All our partners have been data-practitioners in the past having worked for leading consulting and / or tech companies which means that we master the topic from the ground bringing a true expertise going beyond recruitment.
• We’ve the honor to serve a large variety of clients in their digital transformation : industry leaders, global / local corporations, scale-ups and (early) start-up across all types of industries.
• Next to technical, IT and scientific senior positions (e.g. Chief Scientist, Head of GenAI, etc.), we cover data strategy functions (e.g. CDO, CDAIO, etc.) as well as typical business leadership function which are becoming increasingly data-driven (e.g. CEO, Digital Supply Chain, etc.).
• Our Executive Search services are complemented by Interim Management to offer a holistic and differentiated solution to market needs.

The position will further lead and accelerate our business in Germany (and likely in the broader DACH region) in close collaboration with the head office. The role has multiple responsibilities such as business development, delivery of search assignments, marketing, thought leadership.

• A clear passion and interest in the Digital, Data & (Gen)AI ecosystem is fundamental – experiences as a data practitioner or consultant are a plus.
• A strong affinity (and preferably first experiences) with Executive Search, an interest in people and the human side of leadership – previous experiences in recruitment are not required but are obviously a big plus.
• A consultative salesperson with a strong footprint into the German business landscape (big corporations, Mittelstand, start & scale-ups, etc.) – an existing network, an ability to develop a market, to deliver an outstanding service, to land new deals while focusing on quality rather than quantity.
• An entrepreneurial individual who is eager to write the successful Uman Partners story further in Germany (and broader DACH region).
• Finally, we’re looking for an independent individual who can work autonomously and with a strong self-drive. Result-oriented combining short, medium and long-term vision.
