We operate exclusively on behalf of venture capital and private equity firms, engaging with C-suite executives of ambitious, dynamic companies. Our projects are fast-paced, demanding, but also rewarding and stimulating.

About the Role

2. Performing desktop research using LinkedIn, Companies House, and similar databases
3. Writing reports by analysing and summarising reference calls

About the Candidate

The ideal candidate will have a recruitment background and seek to apply their skills in a different environment without the pressure of business development. We value transferrable skills and experience over exact job experience, as our work is niche and specialised. We offer comprehensive training, including in-house, on-the-job training, external courses, and opportunities to study for professional qualifications. Essential qualities include a willingness to learn, self-motivation, and teamwork.

We consider candidates with experience in:

• Recruitment & Executive Search
• HR, especially within fast-growing venture capital or private equity-backed businesses
• Operational experience involving significant people management and team building

Essential Skills:

• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Strong listening skills
• Analytical approach to problem-solving
• Ability to meet tight deadlines and work under pressure
• Confidence operating at a senior level
• Proactive and collaborative attitude
• High integrity

This is not an entry-level or graduate role. Due to the seniority, previous work experience with transferable skills is essential. The role is UK-based, primarily remote, with team gatherings once a month. Part-time hours may be considered for the right candidate. Salary will depend on experience.
