Managing Partner – Growth Advisory — Data-Centre Silicon Platform

The mandate

The enterprise is entering a phase in which leadership must resolve a growth-advisory practice seeking a second engine beyond a small anchor-client base within a multinational-owned fabless, foundry or semiconductor-systems enterprise. The immediate arena is the data-centre silicon platform during a capacity-allocation reset. For mandate 536, 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 – Growth Advisory operating perimeter covers approximately US$7,350 million in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, with activity spanning several data-centre silicon platform customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Managing Partner – Growth Advisory Semiconductor remit carries direct influence over roughly 775 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The group board and the relevant risk and people committees want a Managing Partner – Growth Advisory who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the data-centre silicon platform. The Managing Partner – Growth Advisory Semiconductor seat must resolve a capacity-allocation reset, while preserving the underlying strengths of the data-centre silicon platform. For mandate 536, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Managing Partner – Growth Advisory’s first year on the data-centre silicon platform is expected to end with origination diversity, partner leverage and recurring board mandates. In mandate 536, 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 – Growth Advisory — Data-Centre Silicon Platform seat, established because a capacity-allocation reset now requires one accountable executive rather than distributed ownership. The board has classified the appointment as urgent and intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 6–8 weeks. Interim governance protects the data-centre silicon platform, but it is not a substitute for a permanent appointee. The external search remains confidential to avoid unnecessary disruption before the appointment is agreed.

What you will own

• Set the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory value-creation thesis for the data-centre silicon platform, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately US$7,350 million in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory Semiconductor organisation of about 775 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the data-centre silicon platform economics and execution constraints created by a capacity-allocation reset, with Managing Partner – Growth Advisory-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one Managing Partner – Growth Advisory operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the data-centre silicon platform; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Bring a verifiable book of trusted board relationships and evidence of building partner economics beyond personal billings in mandate 536.
• Build the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory’s three-year succession and capability plan for the data-centre silicon platform, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Semiconductor organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the data-centre silicon platform baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to a growth-advisory practice seeking a second engine beyond a small anchor-client base, 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 – Growth Advisory portfolio and organisation choices for the data-centre silicon platform, 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 data-centre silicon platform trend against origination diversity, partner leverage and recurring board mandates, 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 – Growth Advisory’s agreed first-year data-centre silicon platform value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A Managing Partner – Growth Advisory forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the data-centre silicon platform’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory mandate’s highest-priority data-centre silicon platform risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical data-centre silicon platform talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory’s direct reports.
• A quantified Managing Partner – Growth Advisory-owned improvement in the data-centre silicon platform operating constraint behind a capacity-allocation reset, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 536: 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, Growth Practice Head or Senior Partner in a multinational-owned Semiconductor or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the data-centre silicon platform, your Managing Partner – Growth Advisory 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 – Growth Advisory brief.

As a Managing Partner – Growth Advisory 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 US$4,250 million and led an organisation of at least 550 people. Advisory seats require equivalent data-centre silicon platform client-value ownership and multi-disciplinary leadership.

For mandate 536, the board wants two transitions: a difficult data-centre silicon platform portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a capacity-allocation reset. As the prospective Managing Partner – Growth Advisory for this data-centre silicon platform, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 536 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The Managing Partner – Growth Advisory must be based in Austin; international relocation is supported, but this Semiconductor role is not designed as a remote appointment.

Non-negotiables

• Current or recent accountability at the level of Managing Partner, Growth Practice Head or Senior Partner, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Semiconductor governance forum.
• Proven Managing Partner – Growth Advisory ownership of at least US$4,250 million and leadership of no fewer than 550 employees in a comparable data-centre silicon platform context.
• One completed Semiconductor or adjacent-sector example of a growth-advisory practice seeking a second engine beyond a small anchor-client base 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 – Growth Advisory-level data-centre silicon platform consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Austin location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 536.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated Managing Partner – Growth Advisory package is US$600,000–850,000 base + annual incentive and long-term equity, calibrated to the final data-centre silicon platform scope and the candidate’s current mix.
