Managing Director, Executive Coaching

Workplace type: Open to Negotiation - Remote / Hybrid / On-site

Job type: Flexible - Full-time/ Part-time/ Fixed-term

We are looking for a senior leader to shape, lead, and grow an executive coaching practice designed for founders, senior executives, and leadership teams operating in high-stakes, fast-changing environments.

This role combines premium executive coaching with leadership advisory, practice development, and senior stakeholder engagement. It is suited to someone who can build trust at the top of an organisation, deliver meaningful coaching outcomes, and help strengthen the commercial and delivery quality of a high-value leadership offering.

The Client or Stakeholder Problem You’ll Help Solve

Senior leaders are being asked to make better decisions, lead through uncertainty, align teams across complexity, and deliver change without creating organisational drag.

They need more than encouragement. They need a trusted coaching partner who understands leadership pressure, organisational dynamics, decision quality, and the realities of execution.

This role exists to help clients improve leadership effectiveness, strengthen executive judgement, and create more coherent leadership performance through coaching and advisory support.

Why Your Background Matters

You may come from leadership advisory, organisational consulting, transformation, or a senior operating background with a strong coaching track record.

What matters most is your ability to work credibly with founders, C-suite leaders, and senior teams; to coach with depth and structure; and to connect behavioural development with real organisational outcomes.

You should also be comfortable helping shape offers, refine delivery standards, and contribute to the commercial development of the practice in a professional and consultative way.

What You’ll Be Trusted To Do

• Lead the strategic direction and development of the executive coaching practice
• Deliver one-to-one executive coaching for founders, senior executives, and leadership teams
• Advise clients on leadership effectiveness, decision-making, executive alignment, and organisational change
• Help design and refine coaching and leadership advisory offers aligned to client needs
• Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders in high-trust environments
• Contribute to proposal development, solution shaping, and selective business development activity
• Set and maintain high standards for coaching quality, client experience, and delivery consistency
• Support the commercial positioning of the practice through clear market-facing thinking and proposition development
• Identify where digital tools or AI-enabled leadership systems may support stronger executive effectiveness, where relevant and appropriate
• Contribute to thought leadership, premium client content, or practice-building initiatives where useful

Who Benefits From Your Work

Your work will directly support:

• founders navigating scale and complexity,
• CEOs and executive teams facing high-stakes decisions,
• senior leaders leading transformation,
• organisations seeking stronger leadership coherence and execution discipline.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is likely to include:

• strong trust and retention across executive coaching engagements,
• measurable leadership impact for clients,
• a well-positioned and commercially credible coaching practice,
• high delivery standards across coaching and advisory work,
• clear and repeatable offers that address senior leadership challenges effectively.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant experience in executive coaching, leadership advisory, organisational consulting, or a closely related field
• A strong record of coaching senior leaders, founders, or C-suite stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to operate credibly in complex, high-trust advisory environments
• Experience supporting leadership decision-making, executive effectiveness, or organisational change
• Commercial awareness and the ability to contribute to practice growth in a consultative and professional way
• Excellent judgement, presence, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• A structured, ethical, and evidence-informed approach to coaching

Experience That Would Be Especially Valuable

Relevant backgrounds may include:

• executive coaching or leadership development,
• transformation advisory or organisational consulting,
• founder advisory or scale-up leadership support,
• operating roles with significant people and change leadership,
• work involving decision systems, governance, or leadership operating models.

Experience integrating digital tools, analytics, or AI-enabled methods into leadership support may also be valuable, though equivalent experience will also be considered.

What Makes This Opportunity Attractive

This role offers the chance to lead a premium executive coaching practice with meaningful influence over:

• proposition design,
• coaching quality,
• client impact,
• senior stakeholder relationships,
• and the future direction of the practice.

It is well suited to someone who wants to combine high-level coaching with strategic advisory work and who values credibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape how leadership support is delivered.
