Job description

With ambitious growth objectives in place for 2026 and beyond, we're currently looking to hear from the very best graduate, sales and recruitment talent for our specialist WealthTech team.

About Us:

A successful executive recruitment business operating across a range of established and emerging sectors, Verrus have a proven track record for proactively delivering game-changing senior professionals to a predominantly international client base that ranges from rapid growth start-ups to established corporations.

The WealthTech Team:

One of the most successful and rapidly growing practices in our business, the WealthTech team here at Verrus specialize in sourcing and placing high-impact talent for business providing digital tools, artificial intelligence, and automation to enhance and modernize wealth management, investment services, and financial planning.

Your Role:

As an Executive Recruiter in our WealthTech team, you'll be responsible for meeting billing objectives through the permanent placement of senior sales, commercial, technical and leadership professionals for providers of digital brokerage platforms, portfolio management software, client onboarding and KYC SaaS, financial planning tools, alternative investment platforms, wealth data aggregation analytics, family office & UHNW solutions.

We're a globally operating consultancy so there's no geographical restrictions on the scope of your recruiting activities, but you'll nonetheless be integrating within and benefiting from an existing team of experienced 360 and research consultants whose clients and candidates operate primarily across North America, EMEA and APAC.

As a 360 consultant, business development will form a significant part of your role, identifying and winning new clients through the proactive marketing of the best VP to C-Suite talent in the wealth technology sector.

What We're Looking For:

• Confident, engaging, and articulate interpersonal skills
• First class written and verbal communication in English (additional languages advantageous)
• A bold, dynamic, competitive, and charismatic personality.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
• Self-motivation, proactivity, tenacity, and resilience.
• Proficiency in the use of Microsoft365 products, LinkedIn and AI tools
• The ability to multi-task and prioritise across multiple concurrent projects/campaigns.

Prior recruitment, consulting, sales, or business development experience - or prior exposure to the wealth technology sector - would clearly be advantageous, but this is by no means a prerequisite as full and ongoing training will be provided. Your success and advancement will more likely be dictated by your attitude, drive and application.

What's In It For You?

• A highly competitive basic salary
• Company pension scheme
• A transparent and collaborative team culture underpinned by our core values of trust and integrity.
• A comprehensive onboarding process with ongoing training, development, and support
• Clear opportunities to progress through the business as we continue to grow, our talent pathway offering either senior consultant or leadership routes of advancement.
• A fabulous working environment in one of Leeds City Centre's landmark office buildings
• A rapid selection and assessment process
• Access to cutting edge tools, resources, technology, AI, and software platforms.
• Team social events, incentive-based trips, executive club overseas weekends away.
• (Qualifying) enrolment within GymFlex health & fitness incentive.

If uncapped earning potential and rapid, meritocratic career progression are your prime drivers, then you might prove to be an important component of our continued growth and success.
