We are seeking an entrepreneurial, energetic and team-oriented professional to join the Advisory & Placements team within GLG’s Global Financial Services business unit.

Our team works with senior-level member clients, predominantly with Private Equity firms to help them source Board Members and Pre-Deal/Operating Advisors. The individuals we typically deploy are C-level executives with either robust operating knowledge or deep functional/domain expertise.

The team works across our EMEA and North American client base. However, this individual would sit in London and will play a vital role in helping scale this business line across EMEA.

- 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.

Required Skills For this specific position, the following factors will strengthen an applicant’s candidacy:

- 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;

- A passion for growth and business development
