Job description

Bristol | Competitive Salary | Hybrid Working

Moon Executive Search is a highly regarded executive search firm specialising in retained search assignments across the UK and internationally.

The majority of our work is conducted on a retained basis, allowing us to build genuine partnerships with clients, undertake thorough and consultative search processes, and focus on quality rather than volume. For recruiters who enjoy the strategic side of recruitment rather than the pressure of high-volume contingency activity, Moon offers the opportunity to work on meaningful assignments where relationships, insight and outcomes come first.

Due to continued growth and increasing demand for our retained search services, we are looking to appoint an Executive Search Consultant to join our Bristol-based team.

About Us -

Our business operates across three specialist divisions:

Executive Search

Delivering C-Suite, Chair and Non-Executive appointments for listed companies, private equity-backed businesses, family-owned organisations and ambitious growth companies.

Charity Practice

Trusted advisors to charities, not-for-profit organisations and voluntary sector organisations, recruiting Chief Executives, Directors, Trustees and Governors.

Management Practice

Providing high-quality management recruitment solutions across a broad range of sectors.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to build a career in a true retained search environment, working on senior leadership and board appointments across the UK and internationally.

You will support and manage executive search assignments from initial briefing through to appointment, partnering closely with clients to identify, engage and secure exceptional talent. Working alongside experienced search professionals, you will gain exposure to a wide range of sectors and develop long-term relationships with both clients and candidates.

This role would suit:

• Experienced recruitment consultants seeking a move into executive search.
• Existing executive search professionals.
• In-house recruiters and talent acquisition specialists looking for a more varied, consultative and client-facing environment.

What We are Looking For

The successful candidate will be:

• Self-motivated and proactive.
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
• A strong communicator with exceptional relationship-building skills.
• Commercially aware and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Passionate about delivering outstanding service to clients and candidates.
• Comfortable working at senior leadership and board level.

Why Join Moon?

You'll benefit from:

• Working primarily on retained executive search assignments, focusing on quality, partnership and outcomes rather than volume-driven recruitment.
• Building meaningful, long-term client relationships.
• Managing engaging search projects from briefing through to appointment.
• Direct exposure to CEOs, Managing Directors, Boards, Chairs, Trustees and senior leadership teams.
• A respected and established brand with an outstanding reputation.
• High-quality assignments across corporate, private equity-backed, family business, charity and not-for-profit sectors.
• Strong marketing, PR and thought leadership support.
• Market-leading CRM systems and well-established delivery processes.
• A collaborative, supportive and enjoyable team environment.
• Hybrid working, including the opportunity to work from home on Fridays.

Everything we do is underpinned by our commitment to being:

Distinctive. Ethical. Approachable.

We pride ourselves on delivering a genuinely tailored service, building lasting relationships and helping organisations appoint leaders who make a difference.

This is a fast-paced, challenging and highly rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, delivering exceptional service and contributing to the continued growth of a successful executive search business.
