Oplu is a small, deliberately structured team. We take on fewer mandates than we could. We keep senior attention on every search. We hire slowly, and only for people who fit the way we work.
If that sounds like the kind of environment you would thrive in, we would be interested to hear from you. We hire when the right person appears, whether or not we are publicly advertising.
How we work
Oplu was founded in 2018 and rebranded from Chace People in April 2025. Antonia Edwards and Firat Bay, CFA, run the firm as Managing Directors. The wider team is kept intentionally small. Everyone inside Oplu touches client-facing work.
We recruit across three divisions: Family Offices, Private Households & Estates, and Luxury Brands & Hospitality. Every mandate we take is UHNW-facing. Every mandate is scoped and led by a Managing Director. No handoffs between desks. No juniors running senior searches. Our priority now is systems, structure and quality.
Who fits Oplu
We look for a specific profile across the team:
- Judgement before speed. You think before you send. You read the room before you talk.
- Discretion as a habit. You treat confidentiality as an operating discipline, not a disclaimer.
- Written clarity. Written profiles, scoped briefs and client updates are the core of what Oplu produces. You need to be able to write well.
- Ownership. You follow through without being chased. Detail sticks.
- Direct communication. No gossip. No drama. Calm delivery under pressure.
Prior experience in private client services, recruitment inside UHNW markets, luxury hospitality, family office operations, or adjacent high-trust industries usually translates well. A finance, law or operations background is useful for Family Office and Luxury Brands mandates. None of these are requirements. The traits above matter more than the CV.
What Oplu offers
- Senior-led exposure from day one. You work alongside the Managing Directors on live mandates. No waiting years for client contact.
- A sharp specialism. Three connected divisions, defined markets, repeat clients. You build depth, not spread.
- Genuine ownership of outcomes. Small teams mean clear accountability. You see the impact of your work on every mandate.
- Systems built for the work. OpluPortal, OpluList, OpluVideo and a modern operating stack. You spend time on judgement, not admin.
- Competitive compensation. Base salary and performance-linked structure aligned to mandate delivery.
- London base, international scope. Our headquarters is in London. Our clients are global.
Roles we typically hire for
When Oplu is hiring, roles sit across three broad areas:
- Search Consultants. Running full-cycle mandates across one of the three divisions. Client-facing from day one.
- Candidate Consultants. Leading candidate engagement, vetting, shortlisting and referencing.
- Resourcing and Operations. Supporting search delivery, pipeline development and internal systems.
We do not run a graduate programme. Every hire is expected to contribute to client delivery within weeks.
