Lead the Way in Hospitality Executive Search

Senior/Principal Consultant Opportunity

• Exceptional Compensation – Up to £75K base + up to 50% commission on high-value, retained searches with no race-to-the-bottom fees
• Balanced Flexibility – 3 days in central London, 2 remote (Fully remote considered for experienced professionals)

The Opportunity

Move beyond contingent recruitment and step into high-value, retained search. This role focuses exclusively on CFO & Finance Director searches for luxury hotels, hospitality groups and private equity-backed businesses.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Exclusive, Retained Searches – No more racing to send CVs
• Premium Earnings Potential – £16k-£30k average fees; Recruiters here consistently bill £200k+
• Market Leadership – One of the most respected executive search teams in London
• Clear Advancement Path – Specialise in finance recruitment across hospitality, leisure & sports, with defined leadership potential
• Work Your Way – London-based preferred but fully remote considered for experienced search professionals

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience – 2-3+ years in executive search or senior finance recruitment (hospitality experience is a plus but not essential)
• Senior Stakeholder Skills – Confident operating at board level with strong business development capabilities
• Search Methodology – Retained search experience preferred, but open to high-performing contingent recruiters ready to elevate their career
• Industry Network – A hospitality finance network is advantageous but not required
