We have placed Executives into for-purpose leadership roles from a range of corporate environments.

Find the right leaders for
your organisation

We understand that finding the right leader for your organisation is about more than skills and experience. It’s about passion for your cause, personal style, and cultural fit with your team.
We have developed a robust methodology for identifying executives that align with your organisation’s culture and current and emerging needs.

People for Purpose are social impact specialists, bringing a wealth of experience and hands-on knowledge of the opportunities and challenges of running a for-purpose enterprise. This means that we are a team of subject matter experts who care deeply about social outcomes. We understand the sector’s unique requirements and will search passionately to bring you the rights mix of skills and experience. And because we charge a fixed fee, you know what you need to invest in your search upfront.
