Build on your B2B sales experience and develop a career advising senior leaders across the global commodities industry.
Commodities underpin the global economy, from oil, gas and electricity to metals, minerals, grains, coffee and sugar. The companies producing, trading and distributing these raw materials operate internationally, with their businesses shaped by geopolitics, technology, supply and demand, and the transition to new energy sources.
These businesses make decisions worth billions. We help them recruit the senior executives responsible for setting strategy, running complex operations and delivering commercial results.
We’re looking for ambitious sales professionals to join our commodities executive search team. You’ll need the commercial drive to win business, the confidence to speak with senior decision-makers and an interest in understanding how businesses work.
You don’t need recruitment experience or commodities knowledge. We provide a comprehensive formal training programme and direct mentoring from experienced, successful Partners. You’ll bring the sales skills, resilience and ambition to put that training into practice.
The role
You’ll work closely with our Partners to build client relationships, win new business and deliver executive search assignments across the commodities sector.
You’ll learn how to understand a client’s business and hiring needs, identify and assess potential candidates, and manage an assignment from the initial briefing through to appointment.
Business development is a central part of the role. Alongside it, you’ll research companies and markets, build relationships with senior executives and develop the judgement to advise clients on important leadership appointments.
What we’re looking for
- A degree at 2:1 level or above.
- At least three years’ B2B sales experience, pitching a service to senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
- Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with senior people.
- Resilience and determination, including the ability to keep going when faced with setbacks.
- Curiosity about businesses, markets and what drives commercial success.
- A strong work ethic, commercial awareness and a desire to succeed.
The opportunity
Executive search offers the chance to apply your sales experience to work that calls for research, insight and careful judgement. You’ll learn from established professionals, build specialist knowledge of a global industry and develop into a trusted adviser to senior executives.
It’s a commercially rewarding career in which the relationships you build and the advice you give can have a significant impact on a client’s business.
If you have a strong B2B sales track record and want to build a career in executive search, we’d like to hear from you.
