Managing Partners of the largest PE and Growth Equity funds, and Tech unicorn entrepreneurs). We seek to develop a dream team of outstanding investment analysts with strong academic and professional achievements and a passion for investing and technology. YOUR OPPORTUNITY: Dedale is building a Talent Intelligence practice from the ground up, and we are looking for a driven, intellectually curious professional to be one of its first team members. You will join the Head of Talent Intelligence at the earliest stage of the practice. That means real exposure, real responsibility, and the chance to leave your mark on something that does not yet exist in its final form. Behind you, you will have the full weight of an established intelligence platform and an active network of 100+ leading PE funds, M&A advisors, and corporates — sponsors who already trust Dedale's research and are looking to deepen that relationship into talent. YOUR ROLE: 1.Senior Advisor/Board Member/Executive Search Mandate kick-off & search strategy: * Join mandate kick-offs alongside the Head of Talent Intelligence and the sponsoring PE partner or fund MD. * Help translate the sponsor's brief into a structured search strategy: define the ideal profile, map the relevant target universe, and flag positioning angles that will make the mandate land credibly with senior candidates. 2.Research & sourcing direction: * Own the research backbone of each mandate. Build a clear, prioritized target landscape — by company, sector, and geography — and translate it into actionable sourcing briefs for the Expert Data Excellence (EDE) team. * Act as the day-to-day point of contact for EDE, providing direction, refining the longlist in real time, and escalating quality or coverage issues as the search progresses. 3.Candidate screening & assessment: * Take ownership of the candidate pipeline as profiles are surfaced by the internal sourcing team. * Screen and qualify candidates against the mandate's selection criteria — assessing background, seniority, sector fit, and availability. * Present a curated, well-argued shortlist to the Head of Talent Intelligence, with a clear rationale for each profile's inclusion or exclusion. 4.Sponsor-facing reporting & stakeholder management * Own senior stakeholder discussions with PE partners and fund MDs — preparing progress updates, presenting candidate slates, and facilitating feedback conversations. * Translate search activity into a clear, confident narrative that allows sponsors to calibrate their expectations and provide timely feedback on who is progressing and where the gaps are. 5.Practice building & data * Support the Head of Talent Intelligence in structuring the practice from the ground up — contributing to methodology design, process documentation, and ways of working as the team takes shape. * Play an active role in the data vision of the practice, helping to build and maintain the people intelligence layer that will underpin Dedale's long-term Talent Intelligence asset. YOUR PROFILE: * 2–4 years of experience in executive search, talent intelligence, or advisory sourcing * Demonstrated ability to engage credibly with senior professionals — able to approach, qualify, and build rapport with executives and board-level candidates in a structured, professional manner * Experience running searches or research mandates end-to-end, from profile definition through to candidate assessment and presentation * Strong research and analytical instincts — comfortable mapping markets, building target universes, and synthesising information into clear, actionable outputs * Structured and rigorous, with the ability to manage multiple mandates simultaneously without losing attention to detail or momentum * Energised by early-stage environments — comfortable operating with limited playbook and contributing to building processes as the practice takes shape * Fluent in English, French and other European languages a strong plus CHERRY ON THE CAKE: * You like collaborating as a team and delivering your best as an individual * You are passionate about technology, innovation, and investment RECRUITMENT PROCESS: * Introductory call with our Head of HR * Pre-case with our Senior VP * 1 Case Study * Final on-site interview with Managing Director, CEO, and coffee chat with the team
