The New Frontier of Talent in the Allocator Landscape
Why Helix is Expanding Into Executive Search, On-Demand Consulting & Contract Roles
Across the global allocator ecosystem — from family offices and pension funds to emerging managers and advisory firms — one truth has become clear: capital alone is not enough.
What drives results today is capability — and that capability lives in people.
At Helix, we’ve spent years building investment frameworks, advising funds, and guiding firms through transitions that blend finance, sustainability, and technology. Now, we’re taking the next logical step: helping allocators, fund managers, and investors build and access the human capital that defines their edge.
Introducing: Helix Talent Solutions
We now offer executive search, on-demand consulting, and contract resourcing services tailored specifically for the allocator and investment management community.
This expansion is born from what we’ve seen repeatedly in our work:
Funds struggling to find senior talent with both investment discipline and forward-thinking sustainability insight.
Institutional allocators needing specialist expertise for transition projects, due diligence, or sustainability-linked mandates — but not on a full-time basis.
GP and LP platforms seeking to scale capabilities flexibly without adding permanent headcount.
Helix Talent Solutions bridges this gap.
What Makes This Different
1. Allocator-Centric, Not Generic Finance Recruitment
We live and breathe the allocator ecosystem — from CIO seats and investment teams to GP advisory and ESG integration.
Our search and consulting network is purpose-built for those who allocate, advise, and structure capital, not the entire financial services universe.
2. Flexible Engagement Models
Executive Search: For permanent leadership roles in investment, risk, sustainability, and strategy.
On-Demand Consulting: Short-term or project-based expertise across asset allocation, sustainability-linked strategy, or fund restructuring.
Contract Roles: Embedded specialists who can operate within your organization for defined periods — from interim CIOs to sustainability analysts.
3. Institutional Access, Boutique Agility
Helix sits at the intersection of institutional credibility and entrepreneurial agility.
We’re not building a traditional headhunting firm — we’re building an allocator network that matches opportunity, expertise, and purpose.
Why Now
The allocator landscape is evolving fast:
Family offices are professionalizing.
Pension funds are integrating sustainability mandates.
Fund platforms are restructuring amid macro and regulatory change.
Capital allocators increasingly demand immediacy and alignment.
At the same time, the traditional hiring cycle — 6-month searches, static job descriptions, and rigid headcount budgets — no longer fits how capital moves.
We’re here to make talent allocation as dynamic as capital allocation itself.
Who We Work With
We support:
Institutional allocators seeking permanent or interim investment leadership.
Emerging managers requiring project-based advisory or part-time CIO/COO roles.
Family offices building multi-asset frameworks and governance structures.
ESG and transition-focused investors seeking specialist skillsets.
If you’re an allocator, fund principal, or senior consultant seeking your next project or placement — Helix is building the network that connects both sides.

The Future of Allocation Is Human
At Helix, our thesis has always been about transition — not just in capital markets, but in how organizations operate and adapt.
By extending our platform into talent solutions, we’re building what we believe is the next evolution of allocator infrastructure: one where ideas, capital, and capability flow seamlessly.
Because in the end, performance follows people — and the right people build the future.
