Executive search / Functional expertise / Head of Research
Head of Research search.
We find and place Head of Researchs for deep-tech companies - technically assessed, discreetly approached, retained search.
The mandate
What a Head of Research really decides.
The Head of Research builds the engine that turns open problems into intellectual property - recruiting scientists, setting the agenda, and keeping research close enough to product to matter.
Deep-tech companies live or die on the research-to-roadmap handoff. The wrong hire publishes papers; the right one builds an unfair advantage.
Your mission needs a scientist-leader credible to peers and to the boardroom, who can attract the talent that won't answer a recruiter's email.
