Principal Consultant

Principal | Executive Search

Paul Bridges Group has partnered with a global executive search firm looking to add an experienced Principal to its US team.

The firm specializes in senior leadership search across Industrial, Consumer and Life Sciences, with a particular focus on businesses with complex manufacturing, operations and supply chain environments.

Their work cuts across functions including:

Manufacturing & Operations

Supply Chain & Procurement

Engineering

Quality

Operational Excellence

Site Leadership

Finance

General Management

This is a full desk role combining business development, client management and search execution. We are looking for someone who enjoys owning relationships from origination through delivery rather than operating exclusively on either the sales or execution side.

The firm works across a mix of retained and contingency search, with a significant portion of the US business operating on a high level contingency model. Searches are focused on leadership and senior functional talent within complex, operationally driven organizations.

We are looking for:

8+ years of recruitment / executive search experience

Strong track record in business development and origination

Experience personally executing and managing searches

Background across Industrial, Consumer, Life Sciences or adjacent manufacturing sectors

Experience recruiting leadership talent across Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance or related functions

Retained search experience

Established client relationships and the ability to develop new business

Location: Fully remote, anywhere in the US

This could be particularly interesting for an experienced search professional who wants the autonomy to build and manage a desk while leveraging an established global platform and existing sector expertise.
