Executive Search Consultant

Executive Search Consultant – International Markets

Dublin | Hybrid (3 Days Office / 2 Days Remote)

Competitive Base Salary + Attractive Commission + Quarterly Bonuses + Benefits

Are you an experienced recruitment professional looking for an opportunity to take your career beyond the Irish market?

We are partnering with an established, highly respected executive search firm in Dublin that is investing significantly in its international expansion, particularly across the US Life Sciences market.

This is an opportunity to join the business at an exciting stage of growth, working directly with senior leadership to develop international markets, establish strategic client relationships and deliver high-value retained executive search assignments.

With ambitious plans to significantly increase the contribution of international business over the next three years, there is genuine scope to influence the direction and success of the division.

The Opportunity

• Develop and expand executive search relationships across the US, Canada and Europe.
• Deliver senior-level and executive appointments across Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Medical Devices and other specialist industries.
• Build relationships with senior decision-makers within multinational, high-growth and established organisations.
• Work on high-value retained executive search assignments.
• Collaborate with an established internal research function to identify and engage senior-level talent.
• Work closely with senior leadership, gaining direct exposure to business strategy and international growth.
• Travel internationally to develop client relationships and strengthen your market presence.

What We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in speaking with experienced recruiters operating at Principal Consultant, Manager or Associate Director level who can demonstrate:

• A strong track record in recruitment, executive search or senior-level specialist appointments.
• Proven business development ability and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders.
• A consultative, relationship-driven approach to recruitment.
• The commercial ambition and independence to develop new international markets.
• Experience working within specialist or professional recruitment sectors.
• Strong ethics, professionalism and a genuine interest in building long-term client relationships.

Previous Life Sciences or US recruitment experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Strong recruiters from other specialist sectors will also be considered.

What's on Offer?

• Highly competitive base salary, reflective of experience and track record.
• Attractive commission structure, quarterly bonuses and additional business development incentives.
• Healthcare and pension benefits.
• Hybrid working – three days in the Dublin office and two days remotely.
• Access to established international client relationships and high-value retained assignments.
• Direct mentorship and support from senior leadership.
• International travel and exposure to major global markets.
• Long-term progression as the international division continues to scale.

Why Consider This Move?

This isn't simply another recruitment desk.

It's an opportunity for an experienced, commercially minded recruiter to play a meaningful role in building an international executive search practice, with the infrastructure, reputation and leadership support of an established business behind them.

If you're performing well in your current role but feel your progression or international exposure is limited, this could be a conversation worth having.
