Job description

Associate Director / Director | Interim Finance | Private Equity | Base up to £150k

I'm partnering with a £10m revenue, PE-focused recruitment agency

Their Interim Finance desk has grown from c.£80k to £150k monthly revenue in just six months, with a target of £200k/month by year-end, and they're now looking for an experienced Interim Finance recruiter to help lead the next phase of that growth.

This isn't a cold build.

You'll be plugging into established PE fund and Operating Partner relationships, c.16 live interim assignments across Finance & Transformation, senior mandates typically at £1,200+ day rates, and an experienced team of proven recruiters.

One existing fund relationship alone is generating c.1 role per week.

But the proposition is still early enough that a senior hire can have genuine ownership with scope to build a team underneath you, potentially from as early as month three.

£200k/month target by year-end

c.16 live Interim Finance & Transformation assignments

Established PE Fund & Operating Partner relationships

AD / Director level genuinely on the table

Opportunity to build a team from c. month three

Flexible base, guarantee & landing package for the right person

Who you are

You’ll ideally be an experienced Interim Finance recruiter with a strong track record of business development and revenue generation.

Prior PE experience is attractive, but the bigger thing is performance. If you’re already operating around the £250k–£650k+ level, want to continue billing but also have ambitions around leadership, ownership and building a team down the line, this becomes particularly interesting.

They’re not looking to add headcount for the sake of it. They want high-quality recruiters who bring something additive to the platform, and for the right person, they’re prepared to invest.

If you’re performing well but want more white space, stronger infrastructure and the opportunity to build within an established PE platform, get in touch.
