For over three decades, Charity People has been placing executive and non-executive talent into purpose-driven organisations. Alongside this, we've built a vibrant and inclusive culture within our own team, one that reflects the values we champion.

We are seeking a Principal Consultant to join our growing Board and Leadership Practice. This is an opportunity to influence and shape leadership appointments that drive impact at the heart of society. You will lead on CEO and Board appointments, working in a consultative, fast-paced environment where equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is not optional - it is a strategic imperative.

  • Deliver end-to-end executive search assignments for senior leadership and board roles.
  • Build and nurture authentic relationships with clients and candidates, championing inclusive recruitment practices.
  • Develop new business through networking and strategic engagement, expanding our reach across the sector.
  • Act as an ambassador for Charity People's values - integrity, collaboration, inclusivity and expertise - in every interaction.

What you'll bring

  • Proven experience in an executive search.
  • Strong business development capability, including generating new business opportunities and winning assignments, and a love of networking.
  • Excellent project management skills, balancing multiple assignments effectively.
  • A consultative, inquisitive approach with a genuine commitment to EDI.
  • Commercial awareness and resilience, with a track record in achieving financial targets.
  • Outstanding communication skills and the ability to inspire trust and credibility.

Why join us?

  • Competitive salary and bonus structure.
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, additional discretionary leave at Christmas, and a paid day off for your birthday.
  • Hybrid/ Flexible, family-friendly working arrangements with minimum one day a week in the office (London Bridge)
  • Health insurance, cycle-to-work scheme and wellbeing initiatives.
  • Opportunities for volunteering, sabbaticals and continuous learning.
  • A supportive, inclusive team culture where fun and impact go hand-in-hand.
