• Contribute strategically to the next phase of international growth

This is a role for someone who wants freedom without instability, and scale without bureaucracy.

Why This Role Is Different

• Part of a PE‑backed global recruitment group (£350m+ turnover)
• Global relocation options as the group continues to expand
• Potential share options for individuals who contribute materially to growthClear route to Directorship, not just title inflation

• Commercially minded, with a track record of billing and client ownership
• Comfortable operating at mid‑to‑senior level within Financial Services
• Ambitious, entrepreneurial and looking for a long‑term platform
