Executive Search Consultant

Company Profile and Role Purpose

Join Evolve Group, a rapidly expanding Executive Search firm that operates at the forefront of quantitative, finance, and technology recruitment. This role is located in Milton Keynes, UK, and is designed for candidates eager to boost their earnings, accelerate career progression, and achieve significant personal growth in a dynamic environment.

About Us

Despite entering a fiercely competitive market just five years ago with no existing brand or legacy clients, we now outperform firms with decades of experience. Our firm boasts impressive metrics such as an average production of $400k-$500k per consultant annually, mandates ranging from $100k to $700k fees, and several multiple seven-figure billers. Our success stems from a unique platform combining process, pressure, and execution, which we are now scaling further.

Role Scope and Opportunities

From your first day, you will engage with elite hedge fund and quant technology clients holding active search mandates, inherit a warm desk with established accounts and candidate networks, and handle six-figure fee mandates. Mentorship from multi-six and seven-figure billers ensures support, while you work in a search-focused environment prioritizing depth and precision over volume. This role offers proven execution frameworks to quickly establish your credibility in a new market, with immediate performance expectations rather than gradual desk building.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee retained and contingent executive search mandates within the global hedge fund and quant technology sectors.
• Manage the entire search lifecycle including headhunting, candidate evaluation, and final placement.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates, acting as an extension of the clients’ internal teams.
• Build strong credibility with senior stakeholders swiftly in new markets.
• Conduct structured, retained search processes tailored for top-tier funds.
• Identify and successfully attract outstanding talent in quantitative and technology domains.
• Operate with high levels of attention to detail, discretion, and commercial awareness.

Candidate Profile

• Proven experience in executive or retained search, managing end-to-end mandates from briefing through placement.
• Demonstrated track record of consistent billings and maintaining client relationships.
• Skilled in headhunting, market mapping, and closing high-level senior candidates.
• A strong consultative approach to building client partnerships.
• Experience launching into new markets or quickly establishing credibility.
• Backgrounds from finance, medical, legal, HR, compliance, or professional services are advantageous.
• Exposure to US markets is beneficial but not compulsory.

Why Join

If you desire to operate at a higher performance tier than typical local search firms and are motivated to outperform in earnings, impact, and growth, this is an exceptional opportunity to advance your career within the highest performing quantitative search team.
