Executive Search Client Partner – AI & Digital Transformation
Brighton | Hybrid (3-4 days office)
This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing executive search firm specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, helping innovative businesses secure the leadership talent driving the next generation of technology.
The Market
AI is transforming almost every industry.
From healthcare platforms helping radiologists automate clinical workflows, to manufacturers implementing AI-powered automation, to enterprise software businesses reinventing how organisations operate – demand for experienced AI leadership has never been greater.
You’ll work with ambitious technology businesses solving complex problems across sectors including:
- Digital Transformation
- Manufacturing & Industrial Technology
These are retained executive search assignments where clients value expertise, relationships, and long-term partnerships over transactional recruitment.
The Opportunity
This role has been designed for someone who wants to become a Business Development specialist.
Initially, you’ll support the delivery of retained search projects, learning the market, understanding the clients, and building credibility within the sector.
As your knowledge grows, you’ll transition into a pure business development role, winning retained search assignments and becoming the commercial face of the business.
It’s a structured route into high-value executive search sales rather than being expected to win business on day one.
Why Join?
- Work exclusively on retained executive search projects
- Learn from a founder with a proven track record of building successful search businesses
- Average search fee of around £45,000, but up to £250,000+
- Operate in one of the world’s fastest-growing technology markets
- AI and automation handle much of the administration, allowing consultants to focus on clients and candidates
- Clear pathway into a dedicated Business Development leadership role
- Excellent long-term progression as the business continues to scale
Who They’re Looking For
This role could suit:
- Exceptional graduates with outstanding commercial aptitude
- Junior sales professionals looking for a consultative sales career
- Recruiters from any market wanting to move into a business developing role within executive search
- Naturally curious, competitive, and ambitious individuals
- Someone with a genuine desire to build a career in business development
No previous recruitment experience is required – attitude, intelligence, and commercial instinct are far more important.
This is a rare opportunity to join a boutique executive search business at an exciting stage of growth, build expertise in one of the most in-demand technology markets globally, and develop into a specialist business developer winning retained search assignments for pioneering AI businesses.
