Liverpool owner New England Sports Ventures (NESV) has appointed global headhunters Spencer Stuart to begin a worldwide search for the club's new chief executive.
Previous incumbent Christian Purslow stepped down last month, having played a key role in the sale of the club to the Americans, although he was retained by NESV in an advisory capacity.
The global executive search firm, which was responsible for recruiting Richard Scudamore as chief executive of the Premier League and Ivan Gazidis to the same role at Arsenal, will begin its task immediately.
Its brief is to find "business leaders with an interest in, and experience of, football", according to a statement from NESV.
Principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner will be responsible for appointing Liverpool's new chief executive, which they hope will be early in the new year.
One of the early favourites for the post is Peter Lawwell, the chief executive of Celtic, who turned down the same position at Arsenal in 2008.
