ABOUT US

Vannin Chief of Staff is a retained executive search boutique specializing exclusively in Chief of Staff placements for scaling companies, enterprise leaders, private equity portfolio companies, and family offices.
Our clients engage us during moments of inflection—rapid growth, organizational transformation, leadership succession—when the stakes for a key hire couldn’t be higher. We act as a trusted leadership advisory partner, combining rigorous search methodology with a deep understanding of the strategic operator profile.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking a senior-level Full-Cycle Executive Recruiter to lead retained mandates from origination to successful close. This role offers the scope of a senior associate/engagement manager in a global firm, but with the entrepreneurial autonomy to shape client strategy, control execution, and directly impact the firm’s growth trajectory.
With a niche focus and premium client base, you will advise founders, CEOs, and investors on one of the most strategically leveraged leadership hires they can make. This position carries a defined annual revenue target and is designed for someone comfortable owning both business development and delivery, with uncapped earning potential for overachievement.
This will be a W2 position, reporting directly to the Managing Partner. This is a remote-first position with minimal travel requirements.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years in retained executive search, ideally with a top-tier global firm or high-end boutique.
• Experience managing full-cycle, client-facing search mandates at the senior leadership level.
• Demonstrated success in business development with C-suite executives and investors.
• Ability to thrive in an entrepreneurial, lean environment without large support teams.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the gravitas to advise top executives.
