Get on our radar.

Job Description

If you're a PE-backed CEO, CFO, COO, or GTM leader — or an Operating Partner building a bench for what's next — this is a discreet conversation about alignment, not availability.

Not for active job seekers. For operators who care where their next mandate lands.

Retained. Referenced. Discreet

A safe pair of hands for critical hires.
We don’t move CVs. We de-risk leadership appointments in PE-backed businesses.

For PE firms and portfolio leadership teams, a mis-hire isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a delay to the value creation plan, a cost to EBITDA, and a distraction at board level. We exist to prevent that.

Who we partner with

• PE firms, Operating Partners and portfolio boards needing a discreet bench for business-critical roles
• Founder-led businesses transitioning to PE-backed scale
• Teams where the next hire has to land — no second chances

Who we place — already on our radar

• PE-Backed CEOs & MDs — Owned a P&L, delivered a VCP, knows what good looks like under board scrutiny.
• CFOs (PE-experienced) — From cash to story. Debt, working capital, and a finance function that stands up to diligence and exit.
• COOs & Transformation Leads — Turns strategy into operational reality. Margin, process, team upgrade — without breaking the business.
• CPOs / Product & Tech Leaders — Product as a commercial decision. Builds teams that ship what drives enterprise value.
• GTM Leaders (CRO, CMO) — B2B scale from £5m to £50m+ ARR. Pipeline that converts, teams that retain, GTM that drives EBITDA.

What we don’t do — and why it matters
We don’t do volume. We don’t do spray-and-pray. We don’t move people for the sake of a fee.

We don’t represent:

• Titles without enterprise impact
• Operators without P&L ownership or transformation scars
• Leaders shopping the market

If you’re looking for the next available role, we’re not the right conversation.

The Yellow Bricks Difference — A safe pair of hands

• Discreet by default: No adverts for sensitive mandates. No CV blasts.
• Diligence, not speed: Deep referencing and alignment on where you create value — before any shortlist.
• Portfolio lens: We understand deal thesis, VCP, and what the board needs in Year 1-3, not just the job spec.
• No surprises: Honest on fit, risk, and trajectory. If it’s not right, we say so.
• Bench, not database: Small, curated, already understood. Already considered when the right mandate lands.

There are no guarantees in hiring. But there is a difference between filling a role and de-risking a critical appointment. We are the latter.
