About the role

Senior Researcher Gaming and Entertainment Global Executive Search

Our Global Gaming business is the lead executive search partner for many high-profile organisations and bodies including online gambling operators and suppliers, console and mobile gaming publishers and esports businesses. We hold a market-leading position for gaming, interactive entertainment and online gambling and betting appointments in the executive search market.

We have a diversified business in interactive entertainment and esports space and have built a growing list of high-profile clients in video gaming, mobile/free-to-play/social gaming and the exciting space of esports. This is a significant investment area for us and an important part of our growth plan as a practice, particularly given the cross-over opportunities into the broader media and entertainment space.

Our work covers c suite, board non-executive appointments and a broad range of commercial, operational, and specialist industry roles - down to VP level. Almost all our assignments are internationally focused, and many require us to identify transferable skills from talent in other sectors and geographies.
