At Alfa, we don’t just “fill roles”—we build leadership teams for some of the most innovative companies in the UK and beyond. This is a role for a strategic thinker who understands that at the executive level, the best talent isn’t looking for a job; they are looking for their next legacy.

Client Partnership: Act as a trusted advisor to clients, providing market insights, salary benchmarking, and organizational design advice.
Business Development: Leverage your existing network and Alfa’s reputation to win new retained and exclusive business.
Brand Ambassadorship: Represent Alfa Executive Solutions at industry events and through thought-leadership content.
The Person
We aren’t looking for a “CV pusher.” We want a consultant with gravitas and a meticulous approach. You will likely have:
Experience: A minimum of 3–5 years in executive search or senior-level professional recruitment.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English, with the ability to converse confidently with board-level stakeholders.
Resilience: A proven ability to manage long-cycle, complex placements with a high degree of emotional intelligence.
