About the Role
Vista is seeking an exceptional executive talent professional to support the Endeavor portfolio by building a deep, proprietary network of high-performing software executives and translating it into outstanding leadership outcomes. The role will focus primarily on CEO, CFO, CPO, CTO, CRO and other C-suite leadership positions across high-growth enterprise software businesses $10M - $100M ARR. The mandate is deliberately focused: build a deep executive bench for Endeavor companies and personally deliver 12–15 successful searches each year. The successful candidate will combine the relationship orientation of an executive recruiter with the judgment of a trusted advisor to investors, boards and management teams. This role also carries “dual citizenship” with the Vista Talent practice.
Responsibilities
- Proactively identify, develop and maintain relationships with exceptional current and emerging leaders.
- Partner with the Endeavor Fund to prioritize which benches to build, keeping them current and genuinely hireable.
- Re-bench strong candidates who were not selected and keep them engaged for future roles.
- Track all search and bench data in Vista’s Thrive system.
- Personally run 12–15 successful executive searches each year.
- Partner with Endeavor investment professionals, boards and CEOs to define leadership needs, build candidate profiles, map talent markets and drive searches from outreach through assessment, referencing and close.
- Maintain the roster for the Vista Endeavor Team’s preferred third-party search firm partners.
- Stay connected to Vista’s broader executive talent ecosystem and deploy proven Vista executives into Endeavor companies where there is strong fit.
- Serve as the intake point for executive referrals from Endeavor board working teams and the Vista network.
- Bench referrals personally or hand off when capacity is full, so no referral goes stale.
- Maintain a current view of the enterprise software executive landscape: rising executives, proven operators, succession candidates, compensation dynamics and movement across the Vista ecosystem.
- Use AI to sharpen market mapping, outreach and network intelligence and keep the bench current in Thrive, moving with the urgency, creativity and ownership of a builder.
Requirements
- An experienced executive recruiter or talent professional with strong judgment around senior software executives, who builds relationships well before a formal search begins.
- Approximately 7–10 years of experience across executive search, private equity or growth equity talent, or senior in-house executive recruiting.
- A track record recruiting C-suite and senior functional leaders, ideally within enterprise software or technology.
- Experience building proprietary executive networks, not just running searches.
- Strong executive assessment skills, credibility with investors and boards, and a relationship-driven approach that sustains long-term connectivity with executives.
- A high say:do ratio and the capacity to personally carry a high volume of concurrent searches to close without losing momentum on bench building.
- Analytical and data-driven, using data to refine pipeline development and executive talent strategy.
- Hungry, humble, polished and smart.
- Credible in front of CEOs and boards, and measured on searches closed and bench depth built.
- Intellectually curious, discreet, low-ego and highly collaborative.
- Comfort operating within a shared talent practice, including established protocols, with consistent system-of-record discipline.
