-
Directly manage 1-2 Associates on the team
Additional Responsibilities
-
Take a leading role in managing and scaling EMEA revenue – driving long term growth across the product line. This will involve building a robust/sustainable business model that meets the needs of our PE clients and their portfolio companies.
-
Develop a targeted strategy to recruit senior executives into the GLG network to continuously improve the pool of talent available for Placements.
-
Help uphold and drive continuous improvement in relation to internal workflows and GLG’s Board Placement Search process.
This position requires frequent and tactful communication and negotiation with decision makers at client firms (Managing/General Partner and VP level).
To be considered for this role, the candidate must have strong communication skills, prior experience dealing with senior-level clients and have demonstrated effectiveness, confidence, and skill in speaking to C-level and other senior executives.

3 years+ experience in a client-facing role
-
Understanding and general awareness of financial markets (experience working with Private Equity firms is a plus);
-
Executive-level communication skills, including oral, written, and presentation abilities;
-
Ability to liaise with and drive priorities with cross functional teams;
-
Highly process oriented and able to manage competing priorities;
-
Demonstrated commitment, judgment, emotional maturity, and intensity, ideally in a fast-paced, multi-task-oriented environment;
-
