Managing Consultant

Join the journey to £10Million | Build something ELITE | Be a part of the senior leadership team

Raw Selection is an executive search firm partnering with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to secure executive talent.

We are in our next growth phase. Our first milestone is £10M in revenue. To get there, we are building a sales engine that is relentless on standards, disciplined on execution, and measured by outcomes.

This hire exists because growth has exposed a gap: we need a leader who can raise the bar, win business personally, and build a team that can scale.

What this role includes

• A key member of the senior management team at Raw Selection
• Responsible for the sales function that wins new clients and builds long-term relationships
• Operator + leader: you will win business personally and develop a team to do the same
• You will manage best-in-class graduates and develop them into elite Private Equity executive search professionals
• You will run the function through metrics, coaching, and constant standard-raising

Raw Selection doesn’t need a “manager”. We need a builder.
