Executive Search Consultant

Overview

Cruxx is hiring an Executive Search Consultant focused on MedTech in Leeds. The position follows a hybrid pattern with three days spent on site, and compensation is listed as DOE. This is a chance to join a specialist executive search business at an early stage where the next phase of growth is still being shaped.

About Cruxx

Cruxx is a Yorkshire-based executive search firm dedicated entirely to the MedTech sector. The business works on retained assignments for serious clients whose companies are developing surgical robotics, neurostimulation devices, and cancer therapies. Because the placements influence the direction of those businesses, the work comes with real commercial and strategic importance.

The company operates as more than a search firm. Alongside search, it has capabilities in brand, media, advisory, and founder relationships, which helps relationships go deeper and last beyond a single hire. The Crux of MedTech podcast also gives the firm strong visibility and credibility in the sector, so outreach and conversations have more immediate impact.

The platform is already established, the client base is credible, and the retained model is in place. The role is positioned for someone who wants to help shape what the business becomes next.

Role Summary

You will take ownership of a MedTech sub-niche, develop a market position in it, and become a recognised name within that space. The role requires you to manage retained search assignments from initial client briefing through market mapping, candidate evaluation, and commercial close. You will also cultivate long-term relationships with founders, chairs, investors, and senior leadership teams, while helping strengthen the Cruxx brand through content, podcast involvement, and visible market presence.

This is a building role rather than a process-driven desk job. The expectation is that you will contribute to the growth of a business, not simply fill positions.

What They Are Looking For

The ideal candidate has two to five years of experience in executive or professional search. You should bring a growth mindset, be comfortable identifying and working on your development areas, and be open to doing things differently rather than relying on established routines. A genuine desire to help build something distinctive is essential.

This opportunity is unlikely to suit someone who feels they already know everything or someone who is content to coast. It is better suited to someone ambitious, reflective, and commercially driven.

What You Can Expect

You will join a retained search model that is designed to protect your time and strengthen your client relationships. The brand already opens doors and supports business development before you make first contact. Training is practical and based on real Cruxx mandates rather than generic recruiter material. The commercial upside is intended to reward the value you create, and the environment is set up to help you progress well beyond your current level.

Additional Information

The role description suggests that if you are currently billing between 180 and 250 and believe you could double that with the right support and infrastructure, this opportunity may be worth exploring.
