## Description

AlphaGov is seeking an experienced Executive Recruiter to lead an executive director search for a public pension organization. You will work with the client’s leadership and governing board to identify candidates with the experience to lead retirement-system operations and serve the organization’s members.

This search requires a recruiter who understands public pension leadership and can distinguish overall executive management experience from a background focused primarily on investments.

**What you’ll do**

-   Work with the client to define the executive director’s responsibilities, leadership priorities, and required experience.
-   Build a targeted candidate pool across public retirement systems and relevant pension organizations.
-   Engage qualified executives through direct outreach and professional networks.
-   Assess candidates’ experience in pension administration, board relations, organizational management, and member service.
-   Prepare candidate assessments and guide the client through shortlist and finalist decisions.
-   Coordinate interviews, references, required background reviews, and offer discussions.
-   Maintain clear milestones, candidate communication, and regular reporting throughout the search.

## Requirements

-   Experience recruiting executive directors, chief executives, or comparable senior leaders for public pension or retirement organizations.
-   Established relationships within the public retirement-system community.
-   Familiarity with pension governance and the distinct responsibilities of executive management and investment leadership.
-   Experience advising boards or executive search committees.
-   Strong research, candidate assessment, and stakeholder communication skills.

## Benefits

Submit your résumé and a brief summary of relevant searches. Identify the leadership positions recruited, the types of organizations served, your responsibilities, and the outcomes. Please do not include confidential candidate information.
