Executive Search, Leadership Advisory, M&A Advisory for Executive Search Industry and Corporate TA

About the Firm

JGA Partners is engaged on behalf of our client to recruit for the following:

Our client is a premier executive search and leadership advisory firm that partners with Fortune 500 companies, private equity-backed enterprises, founder-led high-growth companies, and global consumer brands. They are known for delivering high-touch leadership solutions that drive real business impact—going far beyond traditional search.

The firm is composed of more than a dozen consulting partners and senior business executives, each bringing decades of operating, advisory, and board-level experience. Among the team are:

• Former CEOs of private and PE-backed companies
• Former Fortune 500 executives from companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Newell Brands
• Senior HR leaders from iconic brands including Levi Strauss and Hewlett-Packard
• Elite management consultants from top-tier firms like McKinsey & Company
• Former partners from global executive search powerhouses including Egon Zehnder and Heidrick & Struggles

These professionals bring rare insight, deep empathy, and practical wisdom, having served in the very leadership roles their clients are trying to fill or develop. The firm blends executive search, leadership assessment, coaching, organizational design, and succession planning into fully integrated solutions for the boardroom and C-suite.

Core offerings include:

• Leadership Acquisition: Retained executive search, candidate assessments, market benchmarking, and onboarding support.
• Leadership Development: Executive coaching, team development, succession planning, high-potential programs, and custom workshops.
• Organizational Advisory: Board advisory, DE&I strategy, culture transformation, organizational design, and strategic alignment initiatives.

The firm’s culture is built on transparency, accountability, and collaboration. Each partner operates autonomously in a remote-first model while enjoying access to exceptional internal support, shared intellectual capital, and a nearly limitless business development fund to generate and grow client relationships. From cutting-edge psychometric tools to senior-level research support, everything is designed to let partners focus on what they do best—originate relationships and deliver impact.

This is a rare platform that combines the freedom of entrepreneurship with the prestige, resources, and community of a world-class advisory firm.

The Role

As Managing Partner, Business Development, your mission is clear: originate new business with CHROs and senior HR decision-makers, then bring in best-in-class delivery consultants to close and execute transformative work.

You’ll be given a virtually unlimited business development expense fund to support your outbound strategy: travel, host events, sponsor conferences, entertain clients, develop marketing campaigns, and drive referrals. Your role is to create conversations, and the firm will support you with one of the strongest execution teams in the market to turn those conversations into revenue.

This is your opportunity to be the trusted first call for enterprise HR leaders in need of leadership assessment, succession planning, coaching, team development, or broader people strategy support.

What You’ll Be Selling

You’ll lead client acquisition efforts for a full suite of strategic advisory offerings, including:

• Executive & team assessments
• CEO and leadership succession planning
• Executive and/or team coaching
• Organizational design and team effectiveness
• Board and C-suite advisory
• Integration with executive search and interim talent
• Retained executive search
• And more...

About You

• You are a trusted peer to the CHRO community, with direct access to senior HR leaders who take your calls and trust your perspective
• You’ve sold professional services into HR—ideally in leadership development, coaching, advisory, or talent strategy—and are comfortable closing six-figure consulting projects
• You’re a senior executive or partner-level consultant who is still ambitious but no longer wants to report to a boss, chase promotions, or manage internal politics
• You’re energized by collaborating with global experts but want full control over your time, your book, and your upside
• You want to keep winning—and to do it with a team of deeply experienced, highly respected partners at your side

Why This Role Is Different

• Top-Tier Brand & Talent: Work alongside a team of elite consultants and former Fortune 500 executives who bring real credibility to every pitch
• True Autonomy, No Ceiling: Commission-only model starts at 70%, goes up to 80%, and can be up to 90% on new clients*
• Nearly Unlimited BD Fund: From travel and entertainment to events and campaigns—you’ll have the resources to open doors and win business
• Collaborative Culture: Despite being independent, partners collaborate regularly on client delivery, knowledge sharing, and strategic planning
• Immediate Warmth: You can expect warm business opportunities in your first year from internal collaboration and a dedicated sales director
• Remote-First Flexibility: Work from anywhere. Structure your own schedule. No bureaucracy.
• Running a CEO succession planning engagement and full-scale executive development rollout for a Fortune 100 company
• Advising a private equity firm on leadership architecture and conducting assessments during a portfolio company CEO transition
• Supporting the up-leveling of a Chief Manufacturing Officer at a $30B public company—delivered in under 2 weeks.
