Our Approach

1. Brief Definition

Every mandate begins with a clear definition of the role and commercial context. We work closely with investors and portfolio leadership teams to understand the revenue model, stage of the business and objectives behind the hire. This often includes go-to-market strategy, sales structure, customer segments and the role the commercial function plays in delivering the investment plan.

2. Market Mapping

We identify the full landscape of relevant commercial talent across the market. This combines long standing relationships within our network with structured research supported by modern talent intelligence tools, allowing us to identify operators who have successfully scaled revenue organisations in comparable growth environments.

3. Candidate Evaluation

Candidates are assessed against the defined brief to ensure close alignment with the mandate. Evaluation considers commercial leadership capability, experience building revenue teams and track record delivering growth across comparable markets. Particular attention is given to candidates who understand how to scale go-to-market execution within investor backed businesses.

4. Shortlist Delivery

We present a focused shortlist with clear rationale for each candidate. Profiles outline relevant experience, strengths and alignment with the brief, allowing investors and portfolio leadership teams to assess fit quickly while we coordinate interviews and manage communication throughout the process.

5. Offer Management and Onboarding

We support the final stages of the process through offer negotiation, acceptance and onboarding. This includes advising on compensation structure, managing discussions with candidates and maintaining close communication with both parties to ensure a smooth transition into the role.

Employer Branding

For portfolio companies competing for highly sought after engineers, product leaders and data specialists, employer positioning and leadership narrative can play a significant role in attracting the right candidates.

Reign also supports portfolio companies with employer branding to strengthen how leadership opportunities are presented to the market.

“Reign understood the commercial capability our portfolio required and introduced candidates who had scaled revenue organisations in genuinely comparable markets.”
