Featured Jobs in Recruitment
The role
You’ll be the engine room behind the Account Executives – making sure every client gets accurate, on-time, compliant support. Think quotations, renewals, MTAs, invoicing, credit control and documentation – all done properly, first time.
It’s a busy, varied role. No two days look quite the same, but the thread running through all of them is accuracy.
What you’ll actually be doing
- Keeping CRM records spot on – every interaction, every document, logged properly
- Liaising with underwriters to get new business and renewal terms
- Preparing clear, accurate quotes for the Account Executives to take to clients
- Raising invoices, chasing payments, sorting out premium finance queries
- Issuing policy documents, certificates and renewal packs – on time, every time
- Processing mid-term adjustments when a client’s circumstances change
- Being the calm, capable admin support to the wider team.
Who they’re looking for
- Someone who loves admin, with an eye for detail who genuinely doesn’t let things slip through the cracks
- Confident communicating with clients and underwriters alike, in writing and only sometimes on the phone
- Comfortable juggling deadlines without dropping the ball
- Good with numbers – invoicing and premium calculations are part of the job
- Previous insurance admin, account handling or broking support experience is a bonus, not a must
- Working towards (or holding) Cert CII is welcomed – study support may be available
Why this one’s worth a look
You’ll be working somewhere that specialises – properly specialises – so you’re not a generalist lost in a huge book of business. You’ll build real relationships with Account Executives, underwriters and clients, and you’ll actually see the impact of getting things right for the clients.
So…. If you’re the kind of person who colour-codes their to-do list and quietly enjoys chasing down an outstanding query until it’s resolved, this could be exactly your kind of role.
Sound like you?

Some recruitment firms talk about pace and progression. This firm has been built around those principles from day one. As a boutique executive search firm with a genuine transatlantic presence across the UK, Canada, and the US, this business has built something most larger firms can’t replicate: real career velocity, a flat structure, and a leadership team that’s lived the journey themselves.
Their client base spans PE-backed manufacturing groups, global medical technology leaders, and some of the most innovative names in energy and advanced mobility. Their approach? Two people to a search – not five – and a genuine belief that you learn fastest by doing, not by sitting in a lane waiting your turn.
The Opportunity
Executive Search Consultant – Delivery | New York | Competitive Base + Bonus
This is a high-visibility, delivery-focused role built for someone who wants real ownership of the search process – from mapping the market through to offer – without years of hierarchy standing between them and the client relationship. You’ll be working directly alongside a senior partner who came into the business with zero prior search experience and built their way to seven-figure billings, and you’ll be on the same track.

- Be part of client update calls from the outset, building toward leading them as you grow into the role
- Focus on high-impact, VP/Director/C-suite level searches across medical technology, manufacturing, and innovation-led industries
- Build toward a genuine path into business development — no fixed timeline, driven by readiness, not tenure
- Work in a flat, two-person-per-search model with direct access to leadership and zero unnecessary layers
Who You Are
You’ve got somewhere between 18+ months and 6-7 years of experience in retained search (senior level contingency experience also considered), and ideally a background touching technical, manufacturing, or scientific industries. Most importantly, you’ve got grit – you’re proactive, you take ownership without being asked twice, and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty to get a search over the line.
- 18 months+ of search experience, retained preferred
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment with real accountability
- Naturally proactive – you look around corners rather than waiting to be told
- Strong communication and relationship-building instincts
- Genuinely curious about the industries you’d be working in, not just the paycheck
What’s In It For You
- Competitive base salary depending on experience, plus performance bonus structure
- Delivery bonus on every placement, with upside for over-performance
- A clear, demonstrable path to business development – not a promise, a proven track record
- Learn-by-doing culture with real coaching, not micromanagement
- Small, flat team structure with direct, daily access to senior leadership
- Work across genuinely innovative, purpose-driven sectors – technology that improves and saves lives, drives sustainability, and shapes the future
- No rigid hierarchy, no bottom-of-the-stack feeling – just real ownership from day one
Ready to Make Your Move?
