Associate – Digital & Technology Retained Executive Search

Company: Maiden Marc Advisory
Apply for the Associate – Digital & Technology Retained Executive Search
Location: London
Job Description:

Maiden Marc Advisory is partnering with a market-leading executive search firm to support the growth of its London team. Operating for over 20 years, they work on a retained basis with some of the biggest names in Venture Capital and Private Equity as well as high-growth corporates across EMEA and North America.

Following a strong start to 2026, they are looking to hire at the Associate and Senior Associate levels across several functionally focused teams, including Product, Tech & AI, Digital & Data, as well as their Technology as a sector practice that covers General Management, Board and commercially integral hires for a range of tech-focused clients.

With a reputation for delivering high-impact senior search work, the business is focused on building on its modern, low-ego, highly collaborative internal team environment. It’s a particularly interesting time to join, with the firm actively investing in its Associate team and aiming to develop these profiles into future business leaders.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Building long lists and mapping markets across sector/functionally specific landscapes
  • Identifying, engaging and assessing senior candidates for retained projects
  • Conducting detailed competitor analysis and market intelligence
  • Supporting the execution of retained search mandates end-to-end through candidate and client engagement
  • Contributing to pitch preparation and research-led client work as well as assisting in the pitching for new retained mandates

Over time, there is a clear progression towards greater ownership of mandates, increased exposure to clients, and a development path to revenue generation with a strong historical success rate.

The role would suit someone with prior executive search experience who enjoys the research and delivery side, but is looking to develop towards a more client-facing position or someone with strong contingent delivery skills looking to transition into the search world.

The typical profile includes:

  • At least 18 months of experience within executive search or high-growth tech-focused recruitment
  • Structured, detail-oriented and analytical way of working
  • Strong communication skills and confidence engaging senior stakeholders
  • Genuine interest in the digital, data, technology and high-growth space (direct experience not essential)
  • Ambition to build a long-term career in executive search

Compensation typically ranges from £45,000 to £60,000 depending on experience, alongside a discretionary performance-based bonus, and they offer a 3/2 hybrid working split.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to join a high-quality search environment, but at a stage of growth where you can still have a real impact on both the team and the firm’s future direction.
