Job description

Associate Consultant | Executive Search

At Fraser Dove International, we partner with some of the world's leading life sciences companies to help them identify the leadership talent they need to succeed.

We're looking for ambitious, commercially driven people to join us as Associate Consultants.

This is more than a traditional recruitment role. It's an opportunity to shape your success through the relationships you develop and the opportunities you create.

You don't need recruitment or life sciences experience. You do need the motivation to turn opportunities into results.

What will you be doing?

You will be involved in the full executive search process, from researching specialist markets and connecting with industry leaders to developing relationships and identifying new opportunities.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building your network: Developing your own professional network, engaging with senior industry leaders and building relationships that create long-term opportunities.
• Market research: Mapping organisations, understanding leadership teams and identifying relevant industry leaders across life sciences.
• Search delivery: Working on live global search projects, identifying and engaging relevant professionals and contributing to successful outcomes.
• Business Development: Spotting potential leads, engaging prospective clients and finding ways to grow FDI's network and commercial opportunities.
• Developing industry expertise: Building your understanding of the life sciences market and working closely with experienced consultants to turn insights and relationships into results.

This is a role where your contribution matters. You'll have support from an experienced team, while building relationships and creating opportunities that contribute to your commercial success.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for commercially minded people who are motivated to succeed and keen to develop their skills in a relationship-driven environment.

You might be a recent graduate or have experience in sales, business development or another commercially focused role.

What matters most is that you:

• Are ambitious and motivated by results.
• Enjoy building relationships and influencing outcomes.
• Communicate confidently and professionally.
• Take initiative and follow things through.
• Have a commercial mindset and a strong desire to succeed.

If you're competitive and want a career where your development and results matter, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Fraser Dove International?

At FDI, we've spent over a decade developing executive search specialists and building a business with offices across Farnham, London, New York and Basel.

Many of our senior team began their careers at FDI and have since progressed to lead our practices and offices. We're proud of the people we've developed and want to give ambitious people the opportunity to build successful careers with us.

Joining FDI means you'll benefit from:

• Uncapped earning potential: A commission structure that rewards performance, giving you the opportunity to grow your earnings in line with the results you achieve.
• A clear progression pathway: A development plan designed to support your progression from Associate Consultant to Executive Search Consultant.
• International incentive trips: The opportunity to earn a place on company incentive trips abroad.
• Experienced colleagues: Work alongside successful consultants who can help you develop your skills and industry knowledge.
• A team that celebrates success: Regular incentives, socials and team events.
• Hybrid working: One day working from home per week.

For the right person, this is the start of a career with real potential.
