Executive Search Consultant in Leeds

Three people would thrive here: the specialist stuck in a generalist firm who finds MedTech genuinely interesting but is wasting it somewhere that just wants them to fill roles; the strong contingency biller who knows the model is holding them back and is ready to operate at a higher level; and the consultant already thinking about personal brand and content but working somewhere that does not know what to do with that instinct. If any of those sound like you, read on.

What Cruxx is: We are a MedTech-only executive search firm based in Yorkshire. Retained mandates, serious clients, a sector where the companies we work with are building surgical robots, neurostimulation devices, and cancer therapies. The hires we make change the trajectory of those companies. That context matters because it changes how you show up to every conversation you have. We are also a proper platform. Search sits at the core but the firm extends beyond it into brand, media, advisory, and founder relationships. That means your client relationships go deeper and last longer than a single placement. The connections this job gives you are extraordinary. We are one of the few firms actually doing something with them. The Crux of MedTech podcast gives us real reach and real credibility in the sector. Your calls land differently here from day one. You are not cold. You are Cruxx. And you are early enough to shape something. The infrastructure is in place, the clients are serious, the model is retained. What we build next and who leads it is still being written.

What the role involves: You will own a MedTech sub-niche. Build it, develop it, become the name people think of in it. You will run retained search mandates end to end from client briefing through market mapping, candidate assessment, and commercial close. You will build long-term relationships with founders, chairs, investors, and leadership teams. And you will contribute to the Cruxx brand — through content, through the podcast, through showing up in the market in a way that makes people want to work with you. This is not a role where you turn up, work a process, and go home. It is a role where you build something.

What we need from you: Two to five years in executive or professional search. A growth mindset — you want to be better next month than you are today and you are honest about where the gaps are. A willingness to do things differently and ask why before you accept the way things have always been done. And a genuine desire to build something special, not just bill into someone else's vision. The big ego who has already figured everything out will not enjoy it here. Neither will the person happy to coast. Everyone else come and have a conversation.

What you get: A retained model that respects your time and your relationships. A brand platform that does half the BD work before you pick up the phone. Real training built around real Cruxx mandates — not generic recruiter content. Commercial upside that reflects what you build. And an environment genuinely designed to help you go well beyond where you are today. If you are billing 180 to 250 and you back yourself to double that with the right setup around you this is worth a conversation.
