Typical roles at the firm
-
Graduate Associates/Analysts and Associates
Our delivery team play a critical role in supporting the placement of executive search mandates – attending client calls, conducting research, speaking to potential candidates and sources, in addition to compiling detailed and accurate reports.
-
Senior Associates
Our Senior Associates continue their development by playing a bigger role in client-facing interactions. With greater ownership of delivering searches, SAs develop specialized knowledge in one or more areas through on-the-job learning and shadowing our senior staff.
-
Consultants
Leading interviews and managing candidates and clients, our Consultants balance the hands-on and strategic aspects of search assignments. While their positions are focused on delivery, they often aid in business development efforts with existing and potential new clients, in addition to developing more junior staff members.
-
Directors
With a greater focus on business development, our Directors still retain involvement and oversight of search delivery. They have developed subject matter expertise in one or more areas and play a key role in leading and mentoring others in their team.
-
Partners
As a thought leader and subject matter expert, our Partners are brand ambassadors for the firm. They lead a practice, regionally or globally, and are thought leaders in this space. Partners also often play a role in leading internal initiatives relating to DE&I, L&D, ESG and wellness.
-
Business Services
Our dedicated in-house functions provide comprehensive support across finance, IT, HR, L&D, talent acquisition, marketing, legal and administration. With team members based in all of our global offices, our search team is enabled and empowered to succeed.
Our in-house learning and development programme
The Leathwaite Academy, our learning and development programme, means we can advance our employees’ technical and non-technical skills in an informal environment. Focused around four key pillars: Learn, develop, inspire and think – we explore ways to encourage and inspire our people to learn and develop in a way that works for them, our business and our brand.
