Job description

Partner / Associate Partner – Executive Search

New York | InX (Part of The IN Group)

A career-defining opportunity to build, influence, and lead at the top of executive search.

At InX, we operate as a boutique executive search firm with the backing, network, and ambition of a global group. For over 20 years, we’ve built deep expertise across Private Equity, Technology, and Strategy & Consulting/Professional Services we specialise, properly.

This is an opportunity for a senior search professional who thrives on relationships, impact, and long-term value creation, not quick wins.

The Opportunity

As a Partner or Associate Partner, you’ll play a pivotal role in growing our US business from New York, owning high-value client relationships and delivering complex, senior-level searches that genuinely shape organisations.

You’ll act as a trusted advisor to investors, boards, and leadership teams - combining market intelligence, strategic consultation, and exceptional execution.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Enjoys working on senior, nuanced mandates that take time to land
• Is motivated by autonomy, influence, and long-term growth
• Wants a clear, credible path to Senior Partner and leadership

What It Means to Be a Partner at InX

• Build and expand your client and candidate network, creating sustained revenue opportunities
• Win and deliver high-value executive search assignments through nurtured, long-term relationships
• Develop and maintain a robust thought leadership and content strategy
• Be deeply embedded in your market - understanding trends, challenges, and opportunities before others do
• Share market insight and innovation to elevate performance across your team and the wider business
• Create revenue beyond your own desk through cross-selling across The IN Group (Investigo, Definia, Caraffi)

How You’ll Deliver Impact

• Act as a trusted advisor to clients, understanding strategic objectives and leadership needs
• Partner with senior executives and HR leaders to define role scope, competencies, and success criteria
• Design and execute tailored search strategies, including talent mapping and market intelligence
• Collaborate closely with research, delivery, and leadership teams to ensure seamless execution
• Position yourself as a market expert and thought leader throughout the search process

How You Show Up

• Relationship-led: You prioritise trust, credibility, and long-term value over short-term wins
• Solutions-focused: You bring clarity, creativity, and pragmatism to complex challenges
• Naturally curious: About people, markets, and what really drives performance
• Cultural contributor: You uplift those around you and positively influence the wider business

Why InX?

• Competitive base salary + industry-leading commission up to 50%
• Average fees of $50,000+
• $400k+ OTE in a high-performing environment
• Sizeable equity opportunity ahead of our IPO (2028/2029)
• Signed terms with the Big Four and strong relationships with boutique consultancies across the Americas
• A specialist global team of 23 high performers with strong tenure and ambition
• The opportunity to shape the future of the business, not just operate within it

If you’re a senior executive search professional in New York who wants autonomy, reward, and real influence, we’d love to talk.
