London · UK & EMEA
Oak Executive Search is a specialist search firm advising investment banks, trading houses and asset managers on senior hires across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Our approach
We work exclusively within investment banking and global markets. That narrow focus means we know the teams, the desks and the individuals — and we understand what genuinely distinguishes an exceptional candidate from a capable one.
Every mandate is led by a senior consultant from first brief to accepted offer. We map the market rigorously, approach candidates with discretion and give clients a clear, honest view of who is available and why they would move.
Practice areas
Senior bankers and execution specialists across advisory and capital markets, from Vice President to Managing Director and Head of Region.
Revenue-generating and specialist talent across sales, trading and structuring in both macro and credit businesses.
Coverage
We place professionals into the UK and across the EMEA region, for global institutions and specialist firms alike.
