Job description

FitPoint Talent is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a client for an Executive Leadership Coach.

This is a senior individual-contributor coaching and advisory role for a professional who can help CEOs, founders, Vice Presidents, functional leaders, and senior leadership teams strengthen decision-making, leadership effectiveness, executive communication, stakeholder influence, and execution.

Why This Role Matters

Senior leaders make high-stakes decisions while navigating organisational change, demanding stakeholder relationships, competing priorities, and the need to turn strategy into consistent action.

As an Executive Leadership Coach, you will serve as a credible, confidential thinking partner. You will help leaders build clarity, judgement, influence, communication capability, and practical accountability around the priorities that matter most.

What You’ll Be Trusted To Do

• Deliver confidential one-to-one executive coaching for CEOs, founders, Vice Presidents, functional leaders, and other approved senior leaders.
• Lead structured discovery conversations to understand business context, strategic priorities, leadership style, stakeholder dynamics, and development goals.
• Create tailored coaching plans that translate leadership challenges into clear goals, practical actions, accountability commitments, and measurable progress indicators.
• Coach leaders on strategic planning, executive communication, executive presence, stakeholder management, performance management, team effectiveness, and change leadership.
• Help leaders communicate complex ideas clearly, influence across functions, manage high-stakes relationships, and lead through organisational change.
• Apply sound organisational-development and people-strategy judgement to leadership effectiveness, talent challenges, team dynamics, succession-related conversations, and organisational performance.
• Build trusted client relationships while maintaining appropriate confidentiality, ethical boundaries, discretion, and coaching standards.
• Maintain suitable engagement records and track progress in line with approved coaching, privacy, and client-management practices.
• Provide authorised stakeholders with non-confidential, programme-level insight on engagement progress and themes without compromising individual coaching confidentiality.
• Where required within an engagement, contribute to consultative business-development activity through needs discovery, relationship management, proposal input, and clearly scoped advisory recommendations.

What Success Looks Like

• Stronger strategic clarity and decision-making among senior leaders.
• More effective executive communication and stakeholder influence.
• Improved leadership effectiveness, team performance, and accountability.
• Greater confidence navigating complexity, organisational change, and high-accountability decisions.
• Practical progress against agreed leadership and business outcomes.
• Coaching engagements delivered with discretion, quality, appropriate challenge, and clear alignment to agreed objectives.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of relevant experience in executive coaching, leadership development, management consulting, organisational development, HR advisory, or a closely related field.
• Experience coaching, advising, or facilitating development for executives, founders, functional leaders, or senior leadership teams.
• Strong executive presence, active listening, questioning, facilitation, relationship-building, and written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to connect leadership behaviour with business strategy, organisational performance, stakeholder outcomes, and practical execution.
• Experience helping leaders manage change, improve team performance, address complex stakeholder dynamics, or navigate high-accountability decisions.
• Professional judgement and maturity when handling confidential or sensitive leadership matters.
• A consultative mindset, including the ability to diagnose needs, frame meaningful development priorities, and recommend practical, appropriately scoped next steps.
• Experience That Would Be Valuable
• Executive coaching and leadership coaching
• Leadership development and talent management
• Organisational development and people strategy
• Management consulting and HR advisory
• Change leadership, transformation, performance improvement, or succession support
• Experience supporting senior leaders through growth, restructuring, leadership transitions, strategic planning, business transformation, or complex stakeholder environments would be especially valuable. Equivalent relevant experience will be considered.

Why Consider This Opportunity

This role places your executive-coaching and advisory expertise in high-value conversations with senior decision-makers. You will help leaders address real organisational and business challenges while applying your strengths in leadership development, strategic thinking, stakeholder engagement, executive communication, and performance improvement.

It is suited to a professional who values trusted client relationships, meaningful leadership impact, practical outcomes, and the discretion required in senior-level coaching work.
