Job description

Our client is a highly regarded executive search and advisory firm with a top-ranked interim practice. They are expanding their business development team and are looking for experienced Directors who can sell high-value interim and consulting solutions into the Office of the CFO.

This is an opportunity for an established business development professional to join a well-capitalized, growing platform with significant upside, rather than simply taking on another sales role.

The Role

As a Director, you will be responsible for developing new business and expanding relationships with senior finance executives, including:

• CFOs
• Private Equity Operating Partners
• Private Equity Portfolio Companies
• Controllers
• Chief Accounting Officers
• Finance Transformation Leaders
• Other c‑suite executives

You will leverage your existing network while developing new relationships and identifying opportunities for interim executives, finance professionals, and advisory solutions.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

• Top-ranked interim practice with an established market reputation
• Significant platform and resources to support business development
• Opportunity to sell directly into the Office of the CFO
• Highly competitive base salary
• Potentially one of the strongest commission plans in the market
• Equity participation available for the right individual
• Clearly defined long-term exit opportunity
• Significant earning potential for proven producers
• Opportunity to play a meaningful role in growing the practice
• Strong leadership team and established delivery infrastructure

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• A proven track record of selling professional services, executive search, interim management, consulting, or related solutions
• Existing relationships with CFOs and senior finance executives
• Experience selling into Fortune 500, middle‑market, or private equity-backed organizations
• A demonstrated history of generating new business
• Strong executive‑level communication and relationship‑building skills
• The ability to operate as a consultative seller rather than a transactional salesperson
• A strong understanding of the Office of the CFO and the challenges facing modern finance organizations

Candidates coming from interim management, executive search, management consulting, professional services, or CFO-focused recruiting are encouraged to apply
