LEVELS
Building your leadership pipeline

Hiring a Head of ESG who will develop and implement a robust strategy, drive value across your portfolio and meet reporting requirements, demands a search partner with a deep understanding of the needs of your business, the nuances in approach to ESG & Sustainability and access to the best talent. We approach all mandates with thorough research, in-depth and careful interview screening and detailed reports to help ensure the success of these pivotal searches.

The challenge for mid-level hiring is the relatively small number of experienced VPs or mid level professionals with private markets ESG experience. We’ll help you understand your options for moving someone from another fund or hiring from outside the sector.

Junior hiring is almost always from outside private markets, and to move in-house is aspirational. We’ll sort through the talent to find you the best early-career ESG professionals with the skills, aptitude and attitude to add value to your team.
