Take on a Finance desk with real momentum.

Spencer Ogden's New York Finance Practice is growing, and we're looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join one of the highest-potential desks in our North America business.

This is not a cold start. You'll step into a specialist Finance & Private Capital desk with $2 millions of live business already in motion, partnering with Private Equity funds, Investment Banks, Asset Managers, Developers, Energy-Tech businesses and Infrastructure platforms. Average fees are $50,000–$60,000, with exposure to senior, high-value mandates.

The Role

This is a full 360 role. You'll deliver on live business from day one while winning and developing your own clients alongside it. The desk's existing pipeline gives you immediate revenue to work on, and your BD builds your long-term book.

What you'll be doing

• Delivering on live mandates: Sourcing, headhunting and managing mid-to-senior finance professionals across Project Finance, Corporate Finance, Investment & M&A, FP&A, Asset Management, CFO and senior finance leadership, and Real Assets & Infrastructure Finance.
• Driving business development: Pitching new business, re-engaging dormant relationships, negotiating fees and growing your own client portfolio, speaking with CFOs, investment leaders and senior decisionmakers.
• Acting as a market expert: Advising clients and candidates on investment trends, hiring demand and project pipelines. We want trusted advisors, not transactional recruiters.
• Supporting the team: Sharing best practice with newer consultants as the New York team scales.

What we're looking for

We're open to two profiles:

1. 360 consultants with a record of winning clients, taking briefs and billing consistently.
2. Strong delivery recruiters with a consistent billing record who are interested in BD and eventually will become 360 recruiters.

For both:

• 1.5+ years' recruitment experience, ideally in any specialist market
• A demonstrable billing track record
• Confidence engaging senior candidates and client stakeholders
• A genuine sales mindset, commercial awareness and resilience
• A competitive, financially motivated approach
• Permanent U.S. work authorization

Why Spencer Ogden?

• $2 million of live business already on the desk
• Average fees of $50,000–$60,000
• Uncapped commission, up to 40% of deals billed, with no draw and no cap
• Medical, dental and vision fully covered
• Retirement plans
• Structured training and a clear path to Principal Consultant
• Global mobility across 11 offices
• A high-energy, ambitious, financially motivated team
