Wenham Carter is a Global Executive Search and Recruitment company focused on C-Suite level down hires across only the most exciting and disruptive deep tech industries, from Renewable Energy, Mobility and Transportation, Smart Cities, Geospatial and Satellite, Life Sciences, Cybersecurity and more.
With a newly opened office in St Albans, and the increasing demand we are facing from our clients, we are looking to welcome forward thinking, curious and adaptable consultants (with previous exposure to working in recruitment) to our Space and Satelitte team on a hybrid basis (3 days a week) who would be interested in spearheading growth at the new frontier of technological advancement.
Why Space and Satellite?
In 2021, Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket launched a cargo capsule delivering Christmas gifts and supplies to the International Space Station, this marked their 100th successful landing of a Falcon rocket booster on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
Companies like Space X, Blue Origin (Jef Bezos’), and Ball Aerospace are driving the ‘Race to Space’ by making the cost to launch and reuse a rocket 97% cheaper compared to the Russian Soyuz spacecraft that launched in the 1960’s. Cost efficiency has spurned thousands of new business all focused on creating new products and services in Space.
As result, these businesses need to find highly skilled staff all over the world – from engineers and sales people through to C-Suite and Board Leaders. The widespread impact of these applications has had a global impact – from highly specialised satellites monitoring forest fires in the Amazon rain forest to mining asteroids for rare earth metals essential in the green transition.
Our team have been strategically placed within this market for the last 25 years. By stepping into this role, you will have direct access to more than 40 years collective industry specific knowledge, spanning the Telecoms, Space & Satellite, and Executive Search industry, ensuring your success on desk and potential to earn some serious commission. In 2024, multiple consultants in this team billed in excess of £100k per month, with our highest billing consultant hitting £1.2M alone.
The future of space flight is imminent, and the potential for a brimming pipeline is multi planetary. Could the next placement we make be yours?
