WORKING FOR PER

Executive Partners operate at the highest level of the business, with responsibility extending beyond individual clients or teams to the wider success and direction of PER. They shape strategy, build and maintain our most important relationships, identify significant opportunities for growth and help develop the next generation of senior leaders. Executive Partners are expected to have a broad view of the business and play a key role in its long-term development, culture and performance.

Partners are responsible for driving the growth and success of the business, combining senior-level client leadership, business development and team leadership. They own and develop key client relationships, win and lead significant assignments and identify opportunities to expand our markets and services. Partners are also responsible for developing high-performing teams, mentoring future leaders and contributing to the strategic direction of PER.

Principals are senior leaders within their market or practice, with a strong focus on both delivering exceptional client work and growing the business. They manage important client relationships, lead complex searches and are expected to generate new opportunities and develop long-term accounts. Principals also have a significant role in setting direction, developing talent and helping to shape how their team and the wider business operates.

Vice Presidents are established consultants with significant responsibility for clients, candidates and revenue. They manage searches with a high degree of independence, develop strong and trusted client relationships, and contribute actively to business development and growth. VPs also play an important role in developing the team, coaching more junior colleagues and helping to raise standards across the business.

Senior Associates are experienced recruiters who take greater ownership of searches, candidates and client relationships. They are trusted to manage more complex assignments, provide insight into the market and play a more active role in winning and developing business. They also begin to take greater responsibility for supporting and developing more junior members of the team, sharing their knowledge and helping others to succeed.

Associates take on more responsibility for managing candidates and supporting searches from start to finish. They develop stronger market knowledge, build relationships with candidates and clients, and become increasingly confident in running their own workstreams. Associates are expected to contribute ideas, take ownership and consistently deliver a high standard of work, while continuing to develop their commercial and relationship-building skills.

Analysts are building their foundations in recruitment and the private markets. They support the team across research, market mapping, candidate identification and outreach, developing a strong understanding of our clients, sectors and markets. They learn how to assess talent, build relationships and deliver high-quality work, while increasingly taking ownership of their own candidates and processes.
