EXECUTIVE SEARCH
UBER Search Partners specializes in retained executive search for the investment management industry. We work with asset managers and investment firms on senior leadership and critical functional appointments across the organization.
Our understanding of the industry has been built through years of working within it—across investment, distribution, operations, finance, technology, legal and compliance, and other functions that support an investment organization. Those relationships and that market knowledge give us context that extends beyond a candidate's résumé: how firms differ, how roles operate within different organizational structures, and what allows an executive to succeed in a particular environment.
Every search is led by senior members of our firm from beginning to end. We combine rigorous market research and direct sourcing with a psychology-informed approach to assessment, evaluating not only experience and capabilities, but judgment, leadership style, motivations, interpersonal effectiveness, and organizational fit.
In investment management, where firms can differ significantly in culture, structure, investment philosophy, and decision-making, the right executive for one organization may be entirely wrong for another.
A DISCIPLINED APPROACH TO THE MARKET
Every search begins with understanding where the right talent is likely to be found—and where it may be overlooked.
We develop a research strategy specific to the mandate, mapping the relevant market across firms, functions, and adjacent talent pools rather than relying on a predetermined universe of candidates.
Our work combines original research, direct sourcing, long-standing industry relationships, and systematic assessment. Throughout the search, we share market intelligence with our clients—what we are seeing, how the market is responding, and where the original assumptions about the role may warrant reconsideration.
That process allows the search to evolve as our understanding of both the market and the candidate universe deepens.
