Our
Functions
At GRG Executive Search, we partner with organisations to identify and appoint exceptional leaders across a wide spectrum of business-critical functions. From C-suite to specialist leadership roles, our expertise spans industries and disciplines, enabling us to connect clients with individuals who drive strategic growth, operational excellence, and cultural transformation.
CEO and Boards
At GRG Executive Search, we understand the critical role of visionary leadership in shaping organisational success. We specialise in appointing CEOs, C-suite executives, and board members who bring strategic foresight, cultural alignment and resilience. Our detailed search process ensures clients attract proven leaders capable of navigating complexity and driving growth at the highest level.
Engineering and Manufacturing
Engineering and manufacturing leadership has never been more exciting or challenging. Digital transformation is fundamentally changing how products are designed and manufactured, and the leaders who succeed are those who can integrate advanced technology with operational excellence. These executives need to drive innovation while maintaining business continuity, all while navigating sustainability requirements and global supply chain complexity
The best engineering and manufacturing leaders today are strategic problem-solvers who can translate technical capabilities into commercial advantage. They're expected to implement advanced manufacturing technologies, build resilient operations, and create environments where safety excellence and performance optimization go hand in hand. Success requires balancing innovation with proven operational fundamentals - quality, efficiency, and talent development.
Our experience covers everything from traditional manufacturing to advanced engineering environments, giving us insight into what separates good leaders from great ones. We look for executives who can translate technical expertise into business results, build teams that embrace change, and deliver operational excellence while preparing for the future of manufacturing.
Finance
The role of finance leaders is continually evolving, driven by shifts in technology, shareholder expectations and the unpredictability of the modern world. Whilst core responsibilities around financial stewardship remain, finance leaders are also expected to act as strategic partners and business transformation champions.
Modern finance leaders are expected to be commercially minded executives who, in addition to being a strong financial steward, are capable of being the key business partner to the CEO, a leader of transformation, digital champion and guardian of an organisation's corporate resilience in an increasingly uncertain world.
Our longstanding network, relationship driven approach and track-record of delivering for clients across all sectors and ownership models, gives us access to a deep pool of talent. We make it our job to know both the established players and the rising stars to the benefit of our clients.
Human Resources
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the role of the Chief People Officer, HR Director, or equivalent senior HR leader has become increasingly critical. As organisations face ongoing challenges, this C-suite position plays a pivotal role in shaping and executing people strategies that are closely aligned with overarching business objectives.
Often regarded as a trusted advisor to the CEO, the individual in this role must operate as a strategic business leader—collaborating with executive teams to influence commercial decisions and guide the organisation’s people agenda.
Moreover, the scope of the role continues to expand, now encompassing key areas such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG); Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI); and business transformation. These evolving responsibilities require HR leaders to foster inclusive, forward-thinking workplaces that drive innovation and long-term value.
Legal
The role of today’s general counsel has evolved significantly, extending far beyond traditional legal advisory. Modern legal leaders are strategic partners and trusted advisors, equipped to navigate multifaceted challenges while contributing meaningfully to the broader business agenda. Their remit spans building high-performing teams, fostering strong cross-functional relationships, and maintaining a clear perspective on the shifting legal, regulatory, and commercial landscapes.
In addition to managing a broad spectrum of legal matters and ensuring continued compliance, general counsel play a vital role in helping organisations anticipate and respond to global developments—from political and regulatory change to trade tensions and the growing importance of the ESG agenda. They are not merely reactive, but proactive in mitigating risk and identifying avenues for innovation and long-term value creation.
The most effective general counsel combine deep legal expertise with commercial acumen and exceptional leadership. They bring a balanced blend of resilience, adaptability, and strategic foresight, positioning them as key contributors to enterprise success in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment.
Logistics and Supply Chain
The role of a logistics leader is dynamic, driven by shifts in technology, shareholder expectations and the unpredictability of global supply chains. Whilst core responsibilities remain the same, logistics leaders are also expected to act as a connector between multiple internal business units and provide solutions of a time-critical nature.
Modern logistics leaders are operational experts whilst also being commercially minded executives who, in addition to being strong across the aforementioned areas, have a strong financial acumen and ability to implement transformation on large scales.
Marketing and Digital
Marketing has undergone a fundamental transformation in recent years. What used to be about managing budgets and running campaigns has evolved into something much bigger; marketing leaders now need to drive real business growth while building brands that genuinely connect with people. The best marketing executives today are equal parts creative and commercial, comfortable in the boardroom and passionate about their customers.
Modern marketing leaders face unprecedented complexity alongside significant opportunity. They're expected to deliver measurable results while building lasting brand value, master new digital channels while maintaining authentic relationships, and turn data into insights that drive decisions. The role demands someone who can inspire teams, influence the C-suite, and stay ahead of constantly shifting customer expectations.
Our network spans everything from household names to exciting start-ups, giving us access to marketing leaders who've proven they can deliver growth in competitive markets. We focus on identifying executives who combine strategic vision with practical execution, ensuring our clients secure leaders capable of driving measurable business impact while building enduring brand value.
Non-Executive Director
The role of Non-Executive Directors has changed significantly over time, from a role traditionally focused on oversight and governance to a more complex, nuanced role with involvement with ESG, digital and technology oversight, diversity and culture and corporate conduct – all whilst maintaining independence.
Modern Non-Executive Directors must balance independent oversight with up-to-date expertise and visible accountability. The best are active contributors to value creation, reputation and business resilience. In the wake of the Parker Review, the FTSE Women Leaders Review and guidance from the FCA, there is also a need to drive the diversity of board appointments.
In addition to the established status-quo of Non-Executive Directors, our network gives us access to the next generation of Non-Executive Directors, often from more diverse backgrounds, with fresh perspectives and greater digital literacy. These leaders are well-equipped to help organisations navigate the challenges of the modern world.
Procurement
The role of a procurement leader is fundamental and integral to each area of a business, driven by shifts in shareholder expectations, commercial agreements and overall commercial and operational excellence. Whilst core responsibilities remain the same, Procurement leaders are also expected to act as a connector between multiple executive internal and external business areas.
The procurement leaders of today are true dynamic leaders, astute enough to work in a variety of environments irrelevant of ownership structure and scale, with an ever-growing element of transformation intermingled with continuous improvement.
Our longstanding network, relationship driven approach and track-record of delivering for clients across all sectors and ownership models, gives us access to a deep pool of talent. Our job is to work collaboratively with all stakeholders utilising our well-established knowledge and network in the space to provide the best solution for our partners.
Sales
Sales leadership has moved far beyond hitting targets and managing territories. Today's sales leaders are business builders who need to understand complex buying processes, create predictable revenue engines, and build teams that can adapt to how customers actually want to buy. The best sales executives are part strategist, part coach, and wholly focused on sustainable growth.
The modern sales environment demands leaders who can balance relationship skills with commercial intelligence. They need to leverage technology without losing the human touch, predict pipeline accurately while staying agile, and build cultures where top performers want to stay and develop. Success today comes from understanding that sales is about solving problems, not just closing deals.
We work across traditional industries and cutting-edge sectors, connecting with sales leaders who've built results in diverse markets. Our focus is on finding executives who understand that great sales leadership is about enabling others to succeed. We identify leaders who can build winning teams, create scalable processes, and deliver the kind of growth that transforms businesses.
Technology
The landscape of technology leadership has undergone a profound transformation. Once considered a support function, technology is now firmly established as a key driver of business growth and competitive advantage. With cybersecurity threats frequently dominating headlines and data increasingly valued as a strategic asset, technology is a top executive priority. As a result, selecting the right technology leadership at the C-suite level is more important than ever.
There is consistent demand for exceptional technology leaders, particularly Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) with deep, hands-on technical expertise. Chief Information Officers (CIOs) increasingly play a strategic role at board level, while the importance of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) continues to grow as organisations place greater emphasis on security and resilience.
This surge in demand has led to a saturated talent market, making it harder to distinguish truly exceptional candidates. In this environment, lasting relationships and a consultative, value-led approach to hiring are invaluable.
At GRG Executive Search, we are deeply embedded in both our client and candidate communities. Backed by decades of market insight and network development, our transparent, honest, and informed approach has earned us a reputation as trusted experts in navigating complex hiring challenges.
