Careers at Exponentia
Build the practice behind the depth that lasts.
We're a young firm taking on established players by being more rigorous, more candid and more invested than the market expects. These are the roles on our own team — not client mandates.
Why Exponentia
Depth over volume — for our people too.
Own mandates end to end
No siloed sourcing pods. You run searches from calibration through to onboarding, and carry the outcome.
Work directly with the founders
Exposure to board-level conversations from early on, rather than after several years of waiting.
Build the method, not just apply it
We're actively developing our targeting and assessment tooling. There is room to shape how the practice works.
Standards worth holding
We hire the way we search — slowly, deliberately, and with a genuine investment in the people we bring in.
Open Roles
Where we're hiring
3 roles on the Exponentia team, across search delivery and client partnerships.
Senior Consultant
Run retained mandates end to end — calibration, mapping, assessment and close — with direct exposure to the founders and to client leadership.
Client Manager
Carry mandates and the relationships they sit inside — scoping the search, running the delivery, and building the partnership beyond a single seat.
Management Trainee
A structured entry route into executive search. You'll learn market mapping, competency decomposition and candidate research from the founders directly.

What We Stand For
The standards you'd be joining
Candour
We will tell you when a mandate is mispriced, when the role as written cannot be filled, and when your internal candidate is the right answer. Losing the fee is cheaper than losing the relationship.
Ownership
One team carries your search from briefing to onboarding. No handoff to a delivery pod, no account manager relaying messages between you and the people doing the work.
Rigour
Structured assessment against a competency framework built for your business, applied consistently to every candidate — so shortlist debates are about evidence rather than impressions.
Discretion
Confidential mandates stay confidential, on both sides. Candidates learn who you are when there is a genuine reason to, and not before.
Fairness
Consistent evaluation criteria, deliberately widened sourcing, and a candidate experience that leaves people better disposed toward you whether or not they get the role.
