Every mandate begins with a clear definition of the role and operating context. We work closely with investors and portfolio leadership teams to understand the objectives of the hire, the stage of the portfolio company and the capability required for success. This often includes financial control requirements, reporting expectations, investor interaction and the maturity of the finance function.

We identify the full landscape of relevant finance talent across the market. This combines long standing relationships within our network with structured research supported by modern talent intelligence tools, ensuring access to experienced finance professionals operating in comparable investor backed environments.
Candidates are assessed against the defined brief to ensure close alignment with the mandate. Evaluation considers technical depth across areas such as financial control, planning, capital management and investor reporting, alongside experience operating in fast moving portfolio environments where pace and accountability are high.
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 quickly assess fit while we coordinate interviews and manage communication throughout the process.
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.
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.
