Sydney CBD | Executive Search | CFO & Senior Finance Appointments An opportunity to take your senior finance recruitment career into executive search, working on CFO and Senior Finance appointments with some of Australia's most respected businesses.
We're partnering exclusively with an established and highly regarded executive search firm to appoint an experienced Senior Finance Recruiter to join its Sydney business.
This is an excellent chance for someone who enjoys the relationship-driven side of recruitment, wants to work on more senior and complex assignments and is looking for a business where quality, reputation and long-term relationships genuinely matter.
You'll be working alongside experienced search professionals, partnering with senior decision-makers and delivering appointments across CFO, Finance Director and other senior finance positions.
The client base is impressive, spanning financial services, investment management, private equity-backed businesses and the broader corporate market.
The opportunity
This is a hands-on search role with the opportunity to develop into a recognised specialist within the senior finance market.
You'll take ownership of retained and exclusive assignments, working closely with clients to understand their businesses, identify exceptional talent and manage the search process from initial briefing through to appointment.
You'll also have the opportunity to develop relationships with CFOs, CEOs, Boards and senior investment professionals, building a network that will support your career for years to come.
Importantly,
you'll be joining a business that values thoughtful, consultative recruitment rather than simply chasing activity and numbers.
Who we're looking for
We're interested in speaking with experienced executive search professionals and senior finance recruiters who have a strong track record of delivering senior-level finance appointments. Whether you're already operating in executive search or looking to make that transition, we'd be keen to hear from you.
Ideally, you'll bring:
- Experience recruiting senior finance professionals, particularly Finance Managers, Financial Controllers, Finance Directors or CFOs.
- A strong understanding of the finance recruitment market and the ability to engage credibly with senior candidates and clients.
- A genuine interest in executive search and working on retained assignments.
- Professionalism, intellectual curiosity, integrity and ambition.
- A commercial mindset, strong work ethic and comfortable working autonomously while contributing to a high-performing collaborative team culture.
Experience recruiting within investment banking, funds management or private equity would be advantageous, but it's certainly not essential.
We're interested in hearing from successful senior finance recruiters working within established recruitment businesses who are ready to take their career into search.
Why consider it?
The attraction here is the opportunity to work on more senior, higher-value assignments, develop deeper client relationships and become a genuine specialist in executive search finance appointments.
You'll be joining an established executive search firm with nearly 20 years in business, an excellent reputation and a genuinely supportive team.
One of the real attractions is the culture. There are no individual billing targets or client ownership, and people work together rather than competing against each other. Staff turnover is exceptionally low, which says a lot about the business.
An attractive commission structure is also on offer, with the opportunity to earn up to 50% commission.
You'll be joining an established client base, with plenty of support from the Partners when it comes to developing relationships and winning work. You're certainly not expected to build everything from scratch.
Whether you're already working in executive search or are an experienced senior finance recruiter looking for something different, this is a great opportunity to join a successful business with good people and plenty of opportunity.
