The role:

Embedded Executive Talent Researcher

This fast-growing consumer technology company is building a world-class executive team and is looking for a dedicated Executive Talent Researcher to be the intelligence engine behind its most critical leadership hires. This is a project-based role focused 100% on org mapping and talent insights across the global ads, discovery, and creator/monetization ecosystem.

About the role

• Partner closely with the in-house executive recruiting team to define priority companies, teams, and roles across areas such as Ads, Discovery/Recommendations and monetization/platform engineering for large creator ecosystems.

• Run deep intake sessions with recruiting and hiring leaders to clarify success profiles, known “must-know” talent, and existing market knowledge, then translate this into clear research roadmaps.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct wide-and-deep org intelligence research on target companies: mapping org structures from VP and Director level down to critical ICs, including reporting lines where possible.

• Use a blend of public and private signals to understand who does what, who leads which initiatives, and where the true decision-makers sit.

• Produce detailed bi-weekly deliverables: org charts or team rosters, longlists of potential candidates, and narrative insights.

• Highlight and prioritize the most relevant prospects for each search, giving executive recruiters and hiring leaders a clear rationale for why each person is a target.

• Capture and synthesize learnings from exploratory conversations with candidates and industry sources, adding context beyond what is publicly visible.

Requirements

• Significant experience in executive research, talent intelligence, or market mapping within high-growth tech, ideally with exposure to ads, recommendations, or creator/monetization products.

• Exceptional desk research skills: comfortable navigating fragmented information sources and triangulating signals into clear org maps and talent insights.

• Strong analytical and storytelling abilities, able to translate complex org structures into simple visuals and concise narratives for recruiting and business leaders.

• High discretion, professionalism, and comfort working on sensitive and confidential projects.

If you are passionate about turning market data into a strategic advantage in executive hiring and enjoy operating behind the scenes as the go-to expert on “who’s who” in the industry, this role offers a rare chance to have outsized impact.
