Senior Executive Search Consultant / Head of Practice – CFO/FD Search (Private Equity)

Head of Practice – CFO/FD Search (Private Equity)

London, Circa £70k + uncapped bonus (good six figure OTE)

Carter Schwartz is a boutique search & selection consultancy focused exclusively on the Independent Healthcare, Outsourced Pharma, HealthTech and Lifescience markets. We’re an agile recruiter with a reputation for successfully addressing the people challenges at management and board level for a wide range of organisations and the investment community. With the pace quickening across all our markets, the demand for ‘top drawer’ management has never been greater; in particular we’re seeing a sharp increase in CFO/FD instructions – a demand we seek to address through a dedicated senior finance practice.

So here’s the challenge – we’ve crafted a reputation for sourcing the very best candidates for some of the toughest and most pressing briefs. So we’re seeking an established consultant with a track record of sourcing high quality CFO/FDs for PE backed businesses; someone who can leverage our client base and create a bespoke senior finance solution that addresses these key hires across all our sector silos. And whilst in reality the role is more about the delivery of existing demand, a natural flair and tenacity for expanding the reach beyond our current client base is the ultimate goal.

As to the person - we’re looking for a tenacious and experienced senior finance recruiter with an outstanding track record of CFO/FD mandate delivery for PE backed entities, growing SME’s and those pursuing rapid buy & build strategies. And because our clients expect a truly consultative approach, we’re looking for people who can constructively challenge client assumptions and add real value through insightful knowledge – so you’ll need to demonstrate significant exposure to guiding senior management teams and investors in making the right hires. If you understand any of markets all the better, however there’s more than enough sector knowledge in our ranks to support you with market intelligence.
