Spencer Ogden’s New York Finance Practice is growing, and we’re looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join one of the highest-potential desks in our North America business.

This is not a cold start. You’ll join a specialist Finance & Private Capital desk with $1.75 millions of live business already in motion, working with leading Private Equity funds, Investment Banks, Asset Managers, Developers, Energy-Tech businesses and Infrastructure platforms. Average fees are $50,000–$60,000, so you’ll be working on high-value mandates from the start.

The Role

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering on live mandates: Sourcing, headhunting and managing mid-to-senior finance professionals across Project Finance, Corporate Finance, Investment & M&A, FP&A, Asset Management and Real Assets & Infrastructure Finance, from first outreach through to offer, close and placement.
• Developing your market knowledge: Becoming a trusted voice on energy and infrastructure investment, hiring trends and the funds and companies driving the market.
• Moving into BD: Re-engaging existing relationships, pitching new clients and negotiating fees, with support from senior desk members.

What we’re looking for

• 6 months+ years’ recruitment experience (Contract or perm) in any technical market
• A solid delivery record and the ability to manage active mandates
• A genuine appetite for business development and the ambition to become a full 360 consultant
• Confidence speaking with senior candidates and stakeholders
• Resilience, strong communication and commercial awareness
• A competitive, financially motivated approach

Finance or Accounting recruitment experience is ideal, but we’ll consider specialist recruiters from other markets with strong billing potential.

Why Spencer Ogden?

• $2 millions of live business already on the desk
• Average fees of $50,000–$60,000
• Uncapped commission, up to 40% of deals billed, with no draw and no cap!
