Executive Careers

Explore your next move invisibly.

At your level, being seen looking carries a cost. A private conversation with us puts you on the radar for the leadership roles that never reach a job board, with nothing shared, ever, until you approve it.

How senior moves happen here

Executive search at Anila is run personally by our founder, exclusively inside childcare. That changes what we can offer you as a leader.

Total discretion

Your interest stays between you and one person. No database blasts, no whispers in a small sector, nothing sent anywhere without your explicit approval.

Invisible

Roles that are never advertised

Boards and executive teams brief us confidentially. The CEO, GM and head of function roles you'd actually want rarely appear in public, and this is where they surface.

Unlisted

A straight read on the market

What your experience commands, which organisations are quietly building, and whether now is your moment or worth waiting. Honest, even when it's "stay put".

No spin

The seats we fill

For providers from emerging groups to national operators and not for profits.

Chief Executives & General Managers

Whole of organisation leadership, from scale ups finding their shape to established groups planning succession.

Safeguarding & Quality

Heads of Safeguarding and Quality: the roles where the sector's most important work gets real authority.

Operations & People

Heads of Operations and Heads of People who turn strategy into services that perform and teams that stay.

One conversation. Zero exposure.

Tell us as much or as little as you like. Some leaders talk to us years before they move; when the right seat opens, they're the first call.

  • Founder to leader, directlyEvery executive conversation is held personally by our founder, with 11+ years inside the sector.
  • Nothing moves without youNo resume, name or hint travels anywhere until you approve the specific conversation.
  • Worth knowing earlyBeing known to us quietly costs nothing, and it means unadvertised roles find you.

Currently advertised searches

Most executive searches never reach a job board. When one is advertised openly, you'll find it here.

If live jobs do not appear above, the Refari widget is restricted to registered domains and will render once the production domain is registered with Refari. Full search lives on the Job Search page.
