Partner / Junior Partner

Thoma & Partner AG August 27, 2026

Entrepreneurial Perspective in Executive Search & Consulting

Are you looking to do more than simply take on the next position? Do you aspire to build and shape something entrepreneurial? Thoma & Partner is dedicated to the search for specialists and executives in the realm of executive search. As we seek to expand our business, we are on the lookout for an individual who thrives on responsibility, is passionate about winning clients, and is eager to embrace a long-term entrepreneurial role, whether as a partner or junior partner.

Your Opportunity

We are intentionally not seeking the classic "ready-made partner." What we prioritize is entrepreneurial thinking, a robust network, strong personality traits, and a genuine desire to make an impact. Depending on your experience and track record, a progression to a junior partner position with a clear trajectory to partnership is also achievable.

You will have the autonomy to leverage your market knowledge and network while building upon an existing platform, an established brand, and professional structures. Your role transcends merely filling positions; you will cultivate client relationships, explore new markets, and develop your own business, thus becoming an integral part of the ongoing evolution of Thoma & Partner.

What You Bring

  • Experience in executive search, personnel consulting, recruiting, or a comparable consulting-intensive environment
  • A solid understanding of the needs of companies and decision-makers
  • An existing client and/or candidate network is preferable
  • Enjoyment in acquisition, relationship management, and sustainable business development
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and the readiness to take ownership of your success
  • Confidence in interacting with executives, boards, and discerning candidates
  • An independent, reliable, and entrepreneurial spirit

Younger candidates are explicitly welcome, provided they possess the professional and personal background, as well as the potential for an entrepreneurial role.

What We Offer

  • Entrepreneurial freedom that departs from classical career hierarchies
  • A potential pathway to partnership with a clear development trajectory
  • The chance to cultivate your own market, client base, or area of focus
  • An established platform and brand supported by professional search processes
  • A collaborative environment where everyone is treated as equals
  • Long-term perspectives with genuine entrepreneurial responsibilities and opportunities for participation
  • A workplace where individuality, performance, and entrepreneurial contributions are valued

Who We Are Looking For

You may currently be successful as an Executive Search Consultant, Personnel Consultant, Senior Consultant, or Partner. Alternatively, you might be at a point in your career where you realize, "I no longer want to work solely for a company. I want to take on entrepreneurial responsibilities myself." If this resonates with you, let's connect.

We welcome diverse life paths and career trajectories. The title of your current position holds less significance to us than your potential, network, personality, and entrepreneurial drive.

Become Part of Thoma & Partner

If you are eager to operate within an established platform while also being part of an entrepreneurial partner team, we look forward to having a confidential conversation.
