About CLM Search
CLM Search is a specialist executive search firm operating across three core sectors: Manufacturing, Energy and Technology.
With offices in London, Austin and Rabat, we partner with some of the world's most innovative organisations to identify and secure the leadership talent driving transformation, growth and innovation across global markets.
Our reputation has been built on deep market expertise, long-term partnerships and a commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for both clients and candidates. We believe in an "inch-wide, mile-deep" approach, enabling our consultants to become genuine experts within highly specialised markets.
As we continue to scale our Energy practice, we are seeking an experienced Principal Consultant to help drive the next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional recruitment role.
This is an opportunity to work directly alongside the leadership team to build and expand one of the most exciting areas of our business.

You will be given ownership of a specialist vertical within the Energy Storage and Energy Transition space, with the autonomy to build relationships, develop a market strategy and establish yourself as a recognised industry expert.
We are looking for someone who wants more than just a billing desk. We are looking for someone who wants to build a market, influence the direction of a growing business and ultimately create and lead a team.
With that opportunity comes accountability. We trust our consultants to operate with a high degree of autonomy and expect them to take ownership of their performance and results.
