Senior marketing recruitment and executive search

Nothing stays still for long in Marketing and Communications; neither does our talent acquisition support. We find marketing and communications executives with the skills to strengthen market positioning, build stakeholder relationships, protect and grow brand reputations, and create sustainable competitive advantage.

Our rich heritage in senior marketing recruitment and executive search spans over 17 years. We work with a range of clients and candidates on permanent and interim assignments, serving small and medium organisations as well as top multinationals. Our Marcomms consultants provide expert market knowledge and career advice - connecting employers with the right people who can help drive their business forward, from Senior Marketing Managers to C-suite.

Right Place, Right Time Recruitment Expertise

We place senior communications specialists at crucial times, often when transformation is underway. We always take the time to understand our clients’ business models and cultures, helping them early in the process to map out candidate briefs more comprehensively. Typically, our expert communication candidates lead communications on mergers and acquisitions, digital transformations, the development of new operating models and projects to improve cost efficiencies.

We are always quick to respond to requests for interim roles that often have to be filled in days or weeks. Responding to tight timelines is second nature to us, primarily for clients’ transformation programmes whose successful outcomes rely on strong communications, particularly in Human Resources and employee engagement roles.

Understanding Evolving Role Requirements

Clients rely on our ability to track how marketing and communications roles are changing, especially the growing significance of internal communications. Clients call on our international reach to find candidates capable of leading global transformation projects. Our regularly-updated data and insights on the candidate market help us to challenge old ways of thinking and refine clients' attraction and selection processes to tap into diverse talent. 

When you entrust our Marcomms team with your business-critical executive search and interim management marketing and communication requirements - we will build a comprehensive brief and an extensive market map to guarantee the correct search trajectory. This ensures a research-led approach to senior marketing appointments which deliver on our promise of “right first time” recruitment.

Testimonials

From start to finish, Juliet Hardingham and the Executive Search Team at Green Park were exceptional. Juliet took the time to understand the role and our organisation, delivering a strong, diverse shortlist for our Head of Government Relations and External Affairs. Her professionalism, insights, and clear communication confirmed we had chosen the right partner.

James Greenhill

Head of Global Executive Resourcing @Jacobs

“Working with Green Park made this important and potentially challenging appointment process smooth and easy to navigate. The recruitment professionals that they assigned to the project communicated consistently and articulately with the variety of different stakeholders involved in the process; they were sensitive but did not steer away from being honest about the difficult realities involved in this recruitment campaign which resulted in expectations being expertly managed and trust being embedded. I would highly recommend Green Park for senior executive search campaigns, especially in the culture and creative industry.”

Charlotte Cowan

Head of People & Culture | Shakespeare's Globe

"Raj and his team are genuinely looking to drive change - and they really seem to care.  Green Park has placed me on two interim assignments so far, both of which have been right up my alley.  It's been a genuine pleasure doing business with them!"

Sam Phillips

CEO & Founder | Representnation

"I have partnered with Jamie and the Green Park team for several years now and I find myself keep coming back to them when we have strategically important roles for the organisation. They operate a structured, but flexible process that delivers results through close collaboration and refinement with us as a client. They are focused on the human and gain a deep understanding of our needs and what candidates are looking for. I particularly value the time taken by the team to understand us as a business, and their ability to find, engage and advocate for us with a diverse range of talent well matched for our opportunities."
