For Executives

Strategic management.

Marqee pairs you with a dedicated, senior Career Concierge who runs a discreet, proactive search — engaging boards, founders, and recruiters on your behalf, without the search-firm fee.

In short

Marqee pairs senior leaders with a Career Concierge — a real, senior career strategist who runs a discreet, proactive search on your behalf. We map the full market of director, VP, and C-suite roles, position you for each one, engage board members, founders, recruiters, and referrals directly, and personally manage every application for you — confidentially, in your voice. You work for one company at a time; a retained recruiter works for the company. We work for you, across every relevant opening at once, for a flat $99/week — not a percentage of your package.

Executives

Your talent in the room —
not just in the pile.

Discreet, high-volume recruiter outreach — without the search-firm fee.

Get started
The executive's bind

At your level, the hard part isn't doing the job — it's running a search you can't be seen running.

Why senior searches stall

The market you need is the one you can't reach from the outside.

By the time a director, VP, or C-suite role appears on a job board, it's usually already half-spoken-for. The best senior roles move through boards, founders, investors, and a short list of retained recruiters, a closed market that rewards relationships and visibility, not the polish of your application. You know this, because it's how you hire.

So the senior search becomes its own bind. You can't post that you're looking; your team, your board, and your current employer would know within hours. You don't have nights and weekends to run outreach on top of a demanding mandate. And the one channel built for you, the retained recruiter, works for the company filling a single role; you only exist to them if you happen to fit that one brief. The result is a search that's slow, narrow, and entirely dependent on who already happens to be thinking of you.

Marqee closes that gap. We put a senior strategist on your side of the table to run the search you'd run yourself if you had the hours, the reach, and the cover to do it: quietly, across the whole market, with your case made directly to the people who decide. Become a marquee candidate.

What we handle

The specific friction of a senior search — solved for you.

Every executive walks in with the same handful of constraints. Here's the pain, and the outcome a real strategist drives instead.

Discretion

A search no one can see you running

Your reputation is part of your compensation. A leak — a recruiter who talks, a profile update that reads as "open," outreach that looks mass-sent — costs you leverage in your current seat and credibility in the next one.

How we send on your behalf
  • Can't signal you're lookingConfidential mode runs targeting, outreach, and applications discreetly — nothing surfaces to your team, board, or employer.
  • Mass-applied outreach reads as desperateEvery message is written in your voice, sent from your own account on your approval — never a blast, never a template.
  • A leak costs you leverageAccess is scoped to what you connect and revocable anytime; discretion is the product, not an add-on.
  • You're handed an opaque "we'll handle it"You see every application, every message, and every referral path before it moves — a clear ledger of your search, not a black box you're asked to trust.
Reach

The closed market, opened

The roles worth your time rarely get posted. They live with boards, founders, investors, and retained recruiters — and they go to whoever is already top of mind. We make sure that's you.

How referral discovery works
  • Inbound only brings you what others mapped you toWe run a proactive search across the full market and surface director-to-C-suite roles you'd never see otherwise.
  • No line to the people who decideYour strategist identifies the board member, founder, CEO, or retained recruiter and opens a direct, warm path to them.
  • Your network is wide but coldWe surface the second-degree connections and warm referral routes already in your network — and activate them tactfully.
Time & leverage

A full search, run without your hours

You're delivering a mandate that doesn't pause for your job hunt. A real executive search is a part-time job on its own — sourcing, tailoring, outreach, follow-through. We carry all of it so you stay focused on the seat you're still in.

See the Executive plan
  • No bandwidth for sourcing and outreachUp to 100 tailored applications a week, plus recruiter and principal outreach — handled by a real person, not you.
  • Positioning that's the same for every roleYour materials are rewritten per role — P&L scope, team size, mandate, and outcomes framed for that specific board.
  • A portfolio search is hard to run aloneFull-time, board, advisory, and fractional tracks each get their own positioning and outreach — under one weekly plan.

Senior expertise, on your side

The people running your search have sat where you're trying to go.

Executive searches aren't handed to junior associates here. Your named strategist is a senior practitioner who has worked at the level you're targeting, briefed hiring principals, and knows how a P&L, a turnaround, or a scale story should be framed for the room you're walking into. They make the calls software can't: which roles are real versus posted-for-show, how to position a sideways move as a step up, when to push a warm referral, and what an offer is actually worth once equity, scope, and risk are weighed.

01 — People

A senior strategist leads.

Your search is owned end to end by a real expert who has worked at the level you're targeting — not a queue, not a chatbot.

02 — Process

An executive method governs.

Confidential targeting, per-role positioning, principal and recruiter outreach, referral discovery, and offer strategy — run on a disciplined weekly cadence.

03 — Technology

Behind the scenes.

Your strategist maps the full market, drafts at scale, and tracks every thread — quietly — and spends judgment where it moves the outcome.
