Role Summary

We are looking for a Senior Associate who lives at the intersection of strategic consulting and high-stakes recruitment. This isn't a high-volume "CV-slinging" role. You will be the architect of leadership teams, identifying and landing the Go-To-Market (GTM) talent.

What You’ll Do

You will own the end-to-end execution of executive searches, acting as both a strategic advisor to our clients and a relentless "hunter" in the market.

• Market Mapping & Intelligence: Go beyond LinkedIn. You’ll use a research-first approach to map competitive landscapes, identifying the hidden "game-changers" within the SaaS and startup ecosystems.
• The Hunt: You have the grit to track down top-tier talent. You’ll craft bespoke outreach strategies that cut through the noise and grab the attention of elite GTM leaders who aren't looking for a job.
• Strategic Assessment: You aren't just checking boxes. You will conduct deep-dive interviews to assess not just "can they do the job," but "can they thrive in this specific startup’s culture and stage?"
• Sales & Negotiation: You are the closer. You’ll manage the delicate dance of executive negotiations, selling the vision of our client partners while navigating complex compensation and equity structures.
• Client Partnership: Act as a right hand to founders and VCs, providing real-time market feedback, refining ideal candidate profiles, and managing the search process with high transparency.

The Profile: Who You Are

We are looking for a "Swiss Army Knife" of executive search—someone who is as comfortable with a spreadsheet of market data as they are on a high-pressure closing call.

• The Experience: 3–6 years in executive search or specialized GTM recruiting, ideally with exposure to the high-growth tech/startup space.
• The Hunter Mentality: You possess a relentless drive. You don’t wait for applicants; you find the best person for the role, no matter how deep they are buried in an organization.
• Strategic Mindset: You understand how a Sales or Marketing function scales. You can speak the language of CAC, LTV, and ARR with founders.
• Sales Prowess: You are a persuasive communicator. You can articulate a compelling narrative that moves a passive executive from "not interested" to "when can I meet the founder?"
• Resilience: The startup world moves fast and changes daily. You are comfortable with ambiguity and can pivot your strategy without losing momentum.
