About the job

We are currently retained on a mandate to identify a highly experienced Principal-Level Retained Search Specialist to join a globally supported but regionally focused team based in Singapore.

This is a senior-level, originator role where you will be empowered to drive your own book of business. You will have access to inbound opportunities, an established global brand, and a network of specialists across the world, enabling you to deliver high-value, cross-border search solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Originate and lead retained executive search assignments across Asia
• Develop and manage client relationships, delivering best-in-class talent solutions
• Collaborate with a global team of industry experts and researchers
• Leverage global resources and regional insight to build a scalable practice

Why Join This Firm:

This opportunity is ideal for experienced consultants who value their independence but want the benefit of:

• A globally recognised brand
• Access to a supportive international network
• Freedom from internal bureaucracy and politics
• A platform that allows you to “do your thing” – without unnecessary drama

You’ll be joining a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment that gives you space to build while benefiting from shared infrastructure, tools, and branding.

Who We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in retained executive search, ideally at Principal level or above
• Strong Asia market knowledge and network – this is essential
• Sector expertise in Commerce & Industry is desirable, though we remain open to other backgrounds
• A self-starter with a consultative approach and strong client relationship skills

If you’re a seasoned search professional ready to build your own practice within a globally connected, regionally empowered platform, we’d love to hear from you.
