Jobbeschreibung

Stanley House Consulting is conducting a confidential search for a trusted advisor who can help CEOs and senior leaders convert strategic intent into practical action, stronger leadership capability, and sustained organisational performance.

As Strategic Advisor & Executive Coach, you will combine executive coaching with structured leadership and organisational advisory work. You will support leaders working through complex priorities, organisational change, stakeholder expectations, leadership transitions, and execution challenges.

Important scope clarification: This is an external advisory and executive‑coaching role supporting CEOs and other senior stakeholders. It does not confer CEO, Vice President, director, corporate‑officer, board, or enterprise decision‑making authority within the client organisation.

The Leadership Challenge You Will Help Solve

Senior leaders often need an independent, credible thinking partner who can connect business strategy with leadership behaviour, organisational capability, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined execution.

You will help leaders clarify priorities, make high‑accountability decisions, communicate with greater impact, navigate competing stakeholder needs, and create practical conditions for stronger team and business performance.

What You Will Be Trusted To Do

• Partner with CEOs, Vice Presidents, and other senior leaders to clarify business strategy, operating priorities, leadership challenges, and development needs.
• Deliver confidential one-to-one and, where appropriate, group executive coaching focused on leadership effectiveness, executive communication, decision-making, accountability, and stakeholder influence.
• Translate broad business and people challenges into practical coaching objectives, leadership‑development plans, measurable milestones, and clear next steps.
• Advise on leadership‑development and organisational‑development initiatives that strengthen leadership capability, talent effectiveness, team performance, and organisational alignment.
• Facilitate strategic‑planning discussions, leadership sessions, and change‑management conversations that build alignment around outcomes, ownership, and execution.
• Support leaders through organisational change, performance‑management challenges, leadership transitions, growth, restructuring, and evolving stakeholder dynamics.
• Assess leadership and organisational needs through structured discovery, stakeholder conversations, feedback, and other agreed methods.
• Prepare clear, executive‑ready recommendations, action plans, and non‑confidential progress updates for authorised stakeholders.
• Build trusted relationships with senior leadership, Human Resources, people teams, and cross‑functional business partners while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and professional boundaries.
• Where genuinely within the agreed engagement scope, contribute to consultative business‑development activity through client‑needs discovery, relationship management, proposal input, and the shaping of clearly scoped advisory solutions.
• Track agreed outcomes, risks, dependencies, and engagement progress to help stakeholders sustain momentum through ambiguity and change.

Who Benefits From Your Work

Your work will support CEOs, senior leadership teams, Human Resources and people leaders, and cross‑functional stakeholders who need clearer priorities, stronger leadership habits, more effective communication, and practical pathways to execution.

What Success Looks Like

• Greater strategic clarity and focus.
• Stronger leadership habits, accountability, and executive communication.
• Better alignment across leadership, people, and business stakeholders.
• Practical plans that translate strategic intent into measurable action.
• Trusted, confidential, commercially aware advisory and coaching support.

What We Are Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you bring experience in executive coaching, leadership development, organisational development, management consulting, Human Resources, people strategy, or another senior advisory discipline.

We are particularly interested in professionals who can demonstrate:

• 10 yrs of relevant experience in executive coaching, leadership advisory, consulting, organisational development, or a comparable senior advisory field.
• Experience coaching, advising, or facilitating development for executives, founders, functional leaders, or senior leadership teams.
• Strong executive‑coaching capability, including active listening, powerful questioning, feedback, accountability, and goal‑setting.
• The ability to connect business strategy and strategic planning with leadership capability, organisational performance, and practical execution.
• Experience supporting change management, stakeholder management, executive communication, performance management, or leadership transitions.
• Strong facilitation and consulting skills, including discovery, diagnosis, structured problem‑solving, recommendation development, and follow‑through.
• Professional maturity, discretion, and sound judgement when handling confidential leadership and organisational matters.
• The ability to build trust with senior business stakeholders, Human Resources partners, and cross‑functional teams.
• Commercial awareness and, where relevant, the ability to contribute to business development through a consultative, client‑centred approach.

Experience That Would Be Especially Valuable

Relevant experience may come from leadership consulting, executive coaching, management consulting, Human Resources services, talent management, people strategy, professional training, or comparable advisory environments.

Experience supporting senior leaders through organisational change, business transformation, growth, restructuring, succession, leadership transitions, strategic planning, or performance improvement would be valuable. Equivalent relevant experience will be considered.

What Makes This Opportunity Attractive

This opportunity enables you to apply executive coaching, strategic advisory, organisational‑development insight, and structured problem‑solving to real business and leadership challenges.

You will work in a trusted advisory capacity with senior stakeholders, helping create clear and measurable progress while building relationships founded on professional judgement, discretion, and high‑quality client delivery.
