Hanson Search: Leaders in Sustainable Finance Recruitment Saudi Arabia

Hanson Search is an award-winning consultancy specialising in recruitment, executive search, and talent advisory for sustainable finance. We support leading financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, regulators, and corporates with sustainable finance recruitment in Saudi Arabia, connecting them with C-suite and senior finance professionals — for both permanent and interim roles — to drive sustainable growth.

With more than 20 years of international experience — spanning London, Europe, the UAE, KSA, and New York — we deliver targeted recruitment solutions aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 financial reforms and ESG priorities.

Riyadh, as the Kingdom’s financial capital, plays a central role in this evolution, positioning itself as a key hub for sustainable finance and responsible investment across the region.

Our Expertise in Sustainable Finance Recruitment Saudi Arabia

We focus on C-suite and senior sustainable finance recruitment across Saudi Arabia, with expertise in key leadership roles such as:

  • Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and other senior finance leadership positions

  • Heads of Sustainable Investment, Impact Investing, and Green Finance

  • Directors of ESG Risk, Governance, and Regulatory Compliance

  • Senior specialists in Sustainability Reporting, Disclosure, and Climate Finance

  • Leaders in Sustainable Asset Management, Green Bonds, and Infrastructure Investment

We connect Saudi organisations with proven professionals who deliver both ESG impact and financial returns — supporting financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, private equity firms, and corporates engaged in sustainability-linked financing.
