Ready to take your recruitment or executive search expertise in a new direction? We’re looking for a Sales Trainer with proven sales floor experience to drive performance development at Thurn Partners - shaping skills, building confidence, and driving commercial excellence across the team. This is not a back-office coordination role. As Sales Trainer, your primary focus will be on-the-ground development of our consultants - from new graduates through to experienced hires. You’ll spend the majority of your time working directly with consultants on desk: shadowing calls, providing real-time feedback, coaching, and embedding high-performance habits. You’ll also play a key part in designing and delivering training initiatives that push consultants to the next level, both strategically (market knowledge, client management, commercial awareness) and tactically (sourcing, pitching, negotiation, execution). The role is central to our culture of continual improvement - ensuring that everyone in the business is levelling up, month after month. Key Responsibilities: * Deliver hands-on sales training through live call shadowing, one-to-one coaching, and desk-side refreshers on sourcing, outreach, client engagement, pitching, and closing. * Act as a trusted coach and role model, reinforcing high-performance behaviours and supporting consultants at all levels. * Partner with managers to identify skills gaps and design tailored training interventions that directly move performance forward. * Track consultant progress against training goals and probation milestones, reporting outcomes back to managers and leadership. * Support leadership development by preparing managers to coach effectively and embedding our High-Performance Framework into daily practice. * Collect structured feedback and performance data to continually refine training content and improve business impact. * Research and introduce fresh tools, methods, and frameworks to keep training relevant and commercially focused. * Provide logistical and coaching support for the Graduate Academy, ensuring new joiners pick up best practice quickly and are set up for long-term success. * Build strong relationships across the business, coordinating training activities that align with commercial priorities and overall strategy. * Champion Thurn Partners’ values, helping to foster a culture of learning, growth, and high performance.  What we are looking for * Background in agency recruitment or executive search within a high-performance environment. * Passion for developing people: enjoys shadowing, coaching, and sharing knowledge in a practical, engaging way. * Energetic, confident, and commercially minded - able to link training directly to performance outcomes. * Highly proactive, fast-paced, and adaptable - thrives in a scale-up environment. * Strong communication skills, able to give constructive feedback and build positive relationships across the business. * Organised and detail-driven, capable of balancing on-desk coaching with broader training projects. Why Join Us? We’re a specialist executive search firm working with top-tier hedge funds, trading firms, and alternative investment managers across North America and Western Europe. With deep sector expertise, a disciplined search process, and a relationship-first mindset, we connect investment, research, and technology leaders with the industry’s most sought-after talent. Since launching in 2017, we’ve grown consistently year-on-year by hiring carefully, partnering selectively, and delivering outstanding results. Now, we’re continuing to scale - both in London and with a new office opening in Miami in 2026. * Direct impact: you’ll shape how every consultant in the business develops and performs. * Be part of an exciting growth journey, including expansion into the US. * Be part of a high-performance business that genuinely values its people. * A chance to drive change and innovation within a growing People & Culture team. * Join a purpose driven, values led team with bold ambitions. * Competitive salary, bonus and benefits, plus ongoing investment in your development. * Hybrid working model, regular socials, high-energy culture, and ambitious growth plans.
