What are the responsibilities and job description for the Account Manager - Executive Search position at Chameleon International Search Ltd?
Chameleon are looking to hire experienced Account Managers to work within our US business, focused exclusively on our US clients. The role will be based in Denver, Colorado, although Chameleon has a flexible working from home policy. We request that the successful applicant is present in our office for 3 days a week, the days to be agreed with your Line Manager.
Our US business has clients within 3 of our main Industry verticals – Consumer, Industrials and Life Sciences. We have a strong pipeline of work with existing clients, with our Account Managers playing a leading role in the mandates that we are executing. Most of our work with our clients is retained (>
95%) and the successful candidate will need to be experienced in running processes in this manner. This includes writing of collateral, definition of search strategy, leading weekly client update calls, headhunting of candidates, offering consultative advice on how searches are developing and managing entire processes from cradle to grave.
Our clients not only value our ability to identify with and engage in the passive candidate market but also to give consultative advice as to how a search is progressing, making suggestions should a change of strategy be required. The ability to be “solution orientated” is paramount – we must own and lead a process.
Networking is a key skill of the Account Manager – due to the level we work at, each candidate is a potential future client, and we need to always operate with the utmost professionalism. Our
Account Managers are encouraged to travel, to meet Clients face to face, to attend conferences and develop a work focused social media profile that will position them as an expert in their field. We are a business that has long-standing client relationships with many of our corporate partners, building those relationships by operating as a true partner in the pursuit of their talent strategy.
