Job Description
Greenfields Executive Recruitment & Search is a boutique firm led by Catherine Wolfe-Coote, its Owner, Founder and Managing Director. Since ****, Catherine has focused on senior Legal, Company Secretary and Governance appointments, working with Boards, CEOs and Chief People Officers around Australia.
n
Catherine stays personally involved in every senior appointment, and almost all of the firm's work comes through referrals and repeat clients. That close, hands-on approach matters most on confidential and Board-facing searches, where judgement and good stakeholder management make the difference.
n
Clients include ASX-listed and regulated businesses, government and Commonwealth-aligned entities, member-based organisations and not-for-profits — often at points of growth, transformation or change.
n
Greenfields sits between a traditional agency and a headhunting firm. We work on both retained and contingent assignments from mid-level upwards, placing individual leaders and building whole teams.
n
About the Role
n
We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Associate to work directly with Catherine, supporting her across executive search, recruitment and the day-to-day running of the business.
n
The role is based three days a week in our stunning CBD offices overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with two days working from home.
n
This isn't a business development or sales role as the focus is on delivery and support. It's a broad and varied position, well suited to someone who enjoys a small, skilled and corporate environment where they can build strong relationships and use their own judgement.
n
The ideal candidate will come from a similar role in a talent acquisition team or a boutique executive search firm.
n




Competitive base salary + extra bonus annual leave days + discretionary bonus based in personal performance and company achievement.
