Job description

We're a small team doing work we care about. We're looking for someone to grow with us.

root/edge is a boutique executive search firm working at the heart of the energy transition. We partner with companies reshaping how the world generates, moves, and uses power. Grid modernization. Renewable energy. Digital infrastructure. Emerging clean-energy technology. It's a market that matters, and the people we place help move it forward.

We're part of the Tempting Ventures USA platform. That gives us the backing and infrastructure of a larger organization without losing what makes a small firm great. Real relationships. Honest conversations. Doing things the right way.

Our office is in LoHi. We work hybrid. Flexibility with real collaboration when it counts.

What this role is actually about

We're hiring an experienced search consultant who loves the craft of headhunting.

Not the kind of recruiting where you post a job and wait. The kind where you map a market from scratch, identify the people nobody else is talking to, and build a relationship before they know they're ready to move.

You'll run multiple technical searches simultaneously across power, clean energy, and infrastructure. Origination. Project finance. Engineering. Commercial leadership. You'll drive direct outreach, move fast, and deliver.

You'll work alongside experienced operators who know this market. You won't be handed a playbook and left alone. We're a team, and that's not just something we say.

Who we’re looking for

You've done this before. You've run searches where the talent wasn't obvious or available, and you found them anyway. You know how to build rapport quickly, hold a pipeline without losing the thread, and stay curious about the industries you recruit in.

You don't need an energy background specifically. But you need to want to learn this market deeply. It rewards people who understand what their clients actually do.

You take pride in the quality of your work. You ask good questions. You communicate clearly. You show up for your team.

What we offer

• Competitive base salary.
• A commission structure with real upside.
• Full health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Additional benefits.
• Hybrid schedule out of LoHi.
• Support of the Tempting Ventures USA platform.
• And a chance to be part of building something in one of the most important markets of our time.
