Executive Search Consultant – Residential Development Sector

About Us

We are a thriving, well-established executive search consultancy with a strong reputation built on trust, integrity, and results. Operating exclusively on retained mandates, we specialise in shaping senior leadership teams across the residential development sector – helping clients who are building homes, communities, and long-term value.

As a small business, we've cultivated deep, meaningful relationships with clients who value our partnership approach. We're not just recruiters; we're listeners, advisors, and long-term partners who understand the strategic importance of the right leadership. Our commitment extends beyond commercial success – we give 10% of our profits to charity and champion ethical business practices across the built environment, because we believe business should be a force for good.

The Role

This is a genuine 360 executive search role working exclusively at the senior end of the market. While you'll have access to existing clients with urgent hiring requirements, you'll be expected to develop and win your own retained mandates and build exclusive client partnerships over time.

You'll be working on high-calibre, complex searches for leadership positions across the UK residential development sector, from land and development directors to CEOs and board-level appointments. This role requires someone who can operate with autonomy, build trusted relationships, and deliver exceptional results for clients who demand excellence.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in executive search, ideally with exposure to the built environment, residential development, or related sectors
• A consultative approach with the ability to build genuine, long-term client partnerships
• Strong business development skills and the confidence to win retained mandates
• Excellent research, assessment, and stakeholder management capabilities
• Alignment with our values of ethical practice, partnership, and doing business for good
• Self-motivation and the ability to thrive in a remote, flexible working environment

What We Offer

• 100% remote working with flexible hours – we trust you to manage your time
• The opportunity to work with prestigious clients on meaningful, high-impact searches
• A collaborative, values-driven culture in a small, close-knit team
• The autonomy to shape your own success and build your client base
• The satisfaction of working for a business that gives back and champions ethics in our industry

Location: UK-wide (remote)
