- An educational background in human resources and/or a relevant technical program is required.

- Experience managing leadership hiring across multi-country entities (e.g., Nigeria, India, UK)..
- Exceptional organization skills and a keen attention to detail.
- Familiarity with advanced sourcing tools beyond standard LinkedIn (e.g., data-driven sourcing or talent intelligence platforms)..
About you
- You are a collaborator by default, thriving in a team environment where information sharing with executive search peers is key to collective success.
- You see the ”big picture” but execute with precision, ensuring that senior hires are aligned with the long-term functional and cultural goals of the company
- You are a proactive networker who enjoys building long-term relationships with leaders before a vacancy even exists.
- You communicate with clarity and confidence, framing people’s issues in business terms that resonate with senior stakeholders.
- You are data-driven, using market insights and metrics to shape recruitment strategies and manage stakeholder expectations
