Researcher / Senior Researcher – InX | New York
Executive Search | The IN Group
InX is growing in the US, and we’re hiring a Researcher or Senior Researcher to join our New York team. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build a long-term career in executive search and is motivated by high-quality, insight-led research rather than high-volume recruitment.
If you enjoy the research side of search and want progression within that path, this is a strong opportunity.
The opportunity
This is not a transactional recruitment role. You’ll be embedded in a true executive search model, working closely with Partners on senior mandates and gaining exposure to the full search lifecycle.
You’ll be involved from day one in:
- Client kick-off calls to understand full role requirements and context
- Building search strategies and identifying target companies and talent pools
- Proactive candidate outreach (LinkedIn, cold calling, and innovative sourcing approaches)
- Screening and qualifying candidates before introducing them to the Partner for second-stage conversations
- Bi-weekly client update meetings, where progress reports and candidate pipelines are presented
You’ll see the entire search process through, gaining real insight into how senior hiring decisions are made.
What it means to be a Researcher at InX
You are a market specialist and a strategic contributor to every assignment.
You will:
- Develop a strong understanding of your market and emerging trends
- Build and nurture candidate pools with a structured, long-term approach
- Provide data-driven insights, candidate pipelines, and target company lists
As a Senior Researcher, you will also:
- Demonstrate deep expertise in your market
- Own a robust strategy for growing executive-level talent pools
- Share value-add market intelligence that supports wider business development efforts
Markets you’ll work across
The team covers senior roles within consulting and professional services, including:
- Digital, AI, Data
- Supply Chain & Procurement
- Human Capital / HR Consulting
- Tax and Legal Services within Consulting
- Strategy and Transactions
You’ll work closely with experienced Partners who specialise across these areas.
Leadership & environment
The team is led by Marc, whose management style is open, honest, and highly supportive. There’s a strong focus on development, transparency, and investing in the team’s long-term growth.
This is a relationship-led, solutions-focused culture where curiosity and collaboration are highly valued.
Career progression
For those who want to specialise in research and executive search delivery, there is a clear path from Researcher → Senior Researcher → Research & Delivery Lead, supported by a tailored development plan.
If you’re currently in a research-focused role and want deeper exposure to executive search, senior stakeholders, and market strategy - while staying on a research career path - this could be the right next step.
