SVP – Commercial Growth — Mixed-Signal Portfolio

The mandate

The investment committee has withheld further expansion pending clarity on slowing growth in priority customer segments within a institutionally backed fabless, foundry or semiconductor-systems enterprise. The immediate arena is the mixed-signal portfolio during a yield and ramp challenge. For mandate 507, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The SVP – Commercial Growth operating perimeter covers approximately ₹8,900 crore in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, with activity spanning several mixed-signal portfolio customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The SVP – Commercial Growth Semiconductor remit carries direct influence over roughly 775 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The board and its investment committee want a SVP – Commercial Growth who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the mixed-signal portfolio. The SVP – Commercial Growth Semiconductor seat must resolve a yield and ramp challenge, while preserving the underlying strengths of the mixed-signal portfolio. For mandate 507, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The SVP – Commercial Growth’s first year on the mixed-signal portfolio is expected to end with quality revenue, pricing discipline and a repeatable commercial engine. In mandate 507, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is an urgent replacement for the SVP – Commercial Growth — Mixed-Signal Portfolio seat following an accelerated leadership transition. Interim accountability is in place for the mixed-signal portfolio, but the board wants a permanent appointment within 6–8 weeks because a yield and ramp challenge cannot remain under split ownership. The predecessor’s outcome is being handled neutrally and professionally. The external search remains confidential until the preferred candidate and transition plan are agreed.

What you will own

• Set the SVP – Commercial Growth value-creation thesis for the mixed-signal portfolio, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately ₹8,900 crore in design, manufacturing and customer programme portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the SVP – Commercial Growth Semiconductor organisation of about 775 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the mixed-signal portfolio economics and execution constraints created by a yield and ramp challenge, with SVP – Commercial Growth-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one SVP – Commercial Growth operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the mixed-signal portfolio; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Show end-to-end ownership of a material platform or value stream, including budget, talent and measurable operating outcomes in mandate 507.
• Build the SVP – Commercial Growth’s three-year succession and capability plan for the mixed-signal portfolio, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Semiconductor organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the mixed-signal portfolio baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to slowing growth in priority customer segments, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal SVP – Commercial Growth portfolio and organisation choices for the mixed-signal portfolio, 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 mixed-signal portfolio trend against quality revenue, pricing discipline and a repeatable commercial engine, 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 SVP – Commercial Growth’s agreed first-year mixed-signal portfolio value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A SVP – Commercial Growth forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the mixed-signal portfolio’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the SVP – Commercial Growth mandate’s highest-priority mixed-signal portfolio risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical mixed-signal portfolio talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the SVP – Commercial Growth’s direct reports.
• A quantified SVP – Commercial Growth-owned improvement in the mixed-signal portfolio operating constraint behind a yield and ramp challenge, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 507: 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 SVP Sales, Commercial Director or Business Unit Head in a institutionally backed Semiconductor or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the mixed-signal portfolio, your SVP – Commercial Growth 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 SVP – Commercial Growth brief.

As a SVP – Commercial Growth candidate, you bring 22–28 years of progressive Semiconductor or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 22-28 experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of ₹5,150 crore and led an organisation of at least 550 people.

For mandate 507, the board wants two transitions: a difficult mixed-signal portfolio portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a yield and ramp challenge. As the prospective SVP – Commercial Growth for this mixed-signal portfolio, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 507 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The SVP – Commercial Growth role in Semiconductor is based in Hyderabad; 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 SVP Sales, Commercial Director or Business Unit Head, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Semiconductor governance forum.
• Proven SVP – Commercial Growth ownership of at least ₹5,150 crore and leadership of no fewer than 550 employees in a comparable mixed-signal portfolio context.
• One completed Semiconductor or adjacent-sector example of slowing growth in priority customer segments 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 SVP – Commercial Growth-level mixed-signal portfolio consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Hyderabad location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 507.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated SVP – Commercial Growth package is ₹2.2–3.0 crore fixed + performance variable, calibrated to the final mixed-signal portfolio scope and the candidate’s current mix.
