Vice President of Search
BRYANT GROUP
The Opportunity Overview
Do you have the kind of presence that makes presidents and CEOs trust you with the conversations that matter most — the judgment to challenge thinking when needed and the credibility to be heard when you do?
Can you lead a practice, develop a team and own results — while still rolling up your sleeves and doing the work yourself, without ever thinking twice?
Do you build long-lasting relationships — the kind that deepen over time because you genuinely care about the people and organizations on the other end?
If that's where you thrive, this role is for you.
Bryant Group is seeking a Vice President of Search — a leader ready to channel experience into a role that changes what's possible for mission-driven organizations nationwide.
This is not a role that sits above the work. The Vice President of Search carries an active portfolio of searches. The work is deeply relational. You will counsel presidents and CEOs through some of the most consequential decisions their organizations will make. You will serve as both advisor and partner — helping clients navigate leadership transitions with clarity, confidence and care. Relationships aren't a byproduct of the role — they are the role.
This is also a role that demands humility. The execution matters. Exceptional search work is not built on presentations and process alone. It is built through consistency, follow-through, judgment and trust earned over time. The Vice President of Search is not too senior to do that work. They are energized by it.
If you've led at a high level and are ready to channel that experience into work that directly shapes the leaders who will define the next chapter of mission-driven institutions — this is your moment.
This is a salaried, hybrid role with unlimited PTO, comprehensive benefits, extensive travel and the opportunity to advance great leadership across higher education, healthcare and nonprofit organizations.
