Managing Partner – Value Creation — Advanced-Node Design Organisation

Planned Hiring / New

Confidential Managing Partner – Value Creation seat addressing a supply-assurance programme for a fabless, foundry or semiconductor-systems enterprise in India.

The mandate

Following two years of uneven execution, the board is addressing expansion of a value-creation practice beyond founder-led delivery within a privately held fabless, foundry or semiconductor-systems enterprise. The immediate arena is the advanced-node design organisation during a supply-assurance programme. For mandate 514, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Managing Partner – Value Creation operating perimeter covers approximately ₹9,250 crore in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, with activity spanning several advanced-node design organisation customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Managing Partner – Value Creation Semiconductor remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,675 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors want a Managing Partner – Value Creation who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the advanced-node design organisation. The Managing Partner – Value Creation Semiconductor seat must resolve a supply-assurance programme, while preserving the underlying strengths of the advanced-node design organisation. For mandate 514, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Managing Partner – Value Creation’s first year on the advanced-node design organisation is expected to end with repeatable client impact, senior hiring and durable fee growth. In mandate 514, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a newly created Managing Partner – Value Creation — Advanced-Node Design Organisation seat approved as part of the next operating model; it is not an incumbent replacement. The board is running a planned 4–6 month search so the appointee can join ahead of the next capital and talent cycle. Current leaders retain their existing accountabilities until the advanced-node design organisation remit is formally activated. Confidentiality protects organisation design choices while the board compares external and adjacent-sector talent.

What you will own

  • Set the Managing Partner – Value Creation value-creation thesis for the advanced-node design organisation, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
  • Carry stewardship of approximately ₹9,250 crore in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
  • Lead the Managing Partner – Value Creation Semiconductor organisation of about 1,675 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
  • Resolve the advanced-node design organisation economics and execution constraints created by a supply-assurance programme, with Managing Partner – Value Creation-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
  • Establish one Managing Partner – Value Creation operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the advanced-node design organisation; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
  • Bring a verifiable book of trusted board relationships and evidence of building partner economics beyond personal billings in mandate 514.
  • Build the Managing Partner – Value Creation’s three-year succession and capability plan for the advanced-node design organisation, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Semiconductor organisation.

The first 12 months

  • Days 1–90: Validate the advanced-node design organisation baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to expansion of a value-creation practice beyond founder-led delivery, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
  • Months 4–9: Make the principal Managing Partner – Value Creation portfolio and organisation choices for the advanced-node design organisation, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
  • Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable advanced-node design organisation trend against repeatable client impact, senior hiring and durable fee growth, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

  • Delivery of the Managing Partner – Value Creation’s agreed first-year advanced-node design organisation value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
  • A Managing Partner – Value Creation forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the advanced-node design organisation’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
  • Closure of the Managing Partner – Value Creation mandate’s highest-priority advanced-node design organisation risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
  • Retention of at least 90% of critical advanced-node design organisation talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the Managing Partner – Value Creation’s direct reports.
  • A quantified Managing Partner – Value Creation-owned improvement in the advanced-node design organisation operating constraint behind a supply-assurance programme, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
  • Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 514: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a Managing Partner, Operating Partner or Transformation Practice Head in a privately held Semiconductor or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the advanced-node design organisation, your Managing Partner – Value Creation track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from semiconductors, electronics, embedded systems, advanced manufacturing or engineering services will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this Managing Partner – Value Creation brief.

As a Managing Partner – Value Creation candidate, you bring 28+ years of progressive Semiconductor or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 28-plus experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of ₹5,350 crore and led an organisation of at least 1,175 people. Advisory seats require equivalent advanced-node design organisation client-value ownership and multi-disciplinary leadership.

For mandate 514, the board wants two transitions: a difficult advanced-node design organisation portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a supply-assurance programme. As the prospective Managing Partner – Value Creation for this advanced-node design organisation, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 514 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The Managing Partner – Value Creation role in Semiconductor is based in Pune; relocation is expected, although a structured weekly commute may be considered during the first quarter.

Non-negotiables

  • Current or recent accountability at the level of Managing Partner, Operating Partner or Transformation Practice Head, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Semiconductor governance forum.
  • Proven Managing Partner – Value Creation ownership of at least ₹5,350 crore and leadership of no fewer than 1,175 employees in a comparable advanced-node design organisation context.
  • One completed Semiconductor or adjacent-sector example of expansion of a value-creation practice beyond founder-led delivery with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
  • Sector credibility from semiconductors, electronics, embedded systems, advanced manufacturing or engineering services; experience that is purely functional and lacks Managing Partner – Value Creation-level advanced-node design organisation consequences will not meet the bar.
  • Willingness to meet the Pune location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 514.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated Managing Partner – Value Creation package is ₹5.0–7.5 crore fixed + performance variable and LTI, calibrated to the final advanced-node design organisation scope and the candidate’s current mix.
