Partner – Executive Advisory — Industry-Solutions Business

The mandate

The enterprise is entering a phase in which leadership must resolve a new advisory proposition linking leadership choices to enterprise outcomes within a multinational-owned enterprise artificial-intelligence products company. The immediate arena is the industry-solutions business during a post-funding scale-up. For mandate 166, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Partner – Executive Advisory operating perimeter covers approximately ₹950 crore in AI product and services revenue, with activity spanning several industry-solutions business customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Partner – Executive Advisory Artificial Intelligence remit carries direct influence over roughly 400 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The board and its investment committee want a Partner – Executive Advisory who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the industry-solutions business. The Partner – Executive Advisory Artificial Intelligence seat must resolve a post-funding scale-up, while preserving the underlying strengths of the industry-solutions business. For mandate 166, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Partner – Executive Advisory’s first year on the industry-solutions business is expected to end with origination, counsel quality and measurable client outcomes. In mandate 166, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a planned replacement for the Partner – Executive Advisory — Industry-Solutions Business seat. The incumbent continues to lead the industry-solutions business through an agreed succession period and will support a structured handover. The board has allowed 4–6 months to assess candidates, complete diligence and protect continuity while a post-funding scale-up is addressed. The search is confidential so the transition can be communicated to employees, customers and partners in a controlled sequence.

What you will own

• Set the Partner – Executive Advisory value-creation thesis for the industry-solutions business, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately ₹950 crore in AI product and services revenue, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the Partner – Executive Advisory Artificial Intelligence organisation of about 400 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the industry-solutions business economics and execution constraints created by a post-funding scale-up, with Partner – Executive Advisory-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one Partner – Executive Advisory operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the industry-solutions business; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Show repeated senior-client origination plus responsibility for developing principals and future partners in mandate 166.
• Build the Partner – Executive Advisory’s three-year succession and capability plan for the industry-solutions business, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Artificial Intelligence organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the industry-solutions business baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to a new advisory proposition linking leadership choices to enterprise outcomes, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal Partner – Executive Advisory portfolio and organisation choices for the industry-solutions business, 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 industry-solutions business trend against origination, counsel quality and measurable client outcomes, 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 Partner – Executive Advisory’s agreed first-year industry-solutions business value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A Partner – Executive Advisory forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the industry-solutions business’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the Partner – Executive Advisory mandate’s highest-priority industry-solutions business risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical industry-solutions business talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the Partner – Executive Advisory’s direct reports.
• A quantified Partner – Executive Advisory-owned improvement in the industry-solutions business operating constraint behind a post-funding scale-up, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 166: 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 Partner, Principal or senior executive adviser in a multinational-owned Artificial Intelligence or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the industry-solutions business, your Partner – Executive 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 AI, enterprise software, data infrastructure, cloud, analytics or applied research will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this Partner – Executive Advisory brief.

As a Partner – Executive Advisory candidate, you bring 22–28 years of progressive Artificial Intelligence 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 ₹550 crore and led an organisation of at least 275 people. Advisory seats require equivalent industry-solutions business client-value ownership and multi-disciplinary leadership.

For mandate 166, the board wants two transitions: a difficult industry-solutions business portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a post-funding scale-up. As the prospective Partner – Executive Advisory for this industry-solutions business, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 166 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The Partner – Executive Advisory role in Artificial Intelligence is based in Bengaluru; 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 Partner, Principal or senior executive adviser, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Artificial Intelligence governance forum.
• Proven Partner – Executive Advisory ownership of at least ₹550 crore and leadership of no fewer than 275 employees in a comparable industry-solutions business context.
• One completed Artificial Intelligence or adjacent-sector example of a new advisory proposition linking leadership choices to enterprise outcomes with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from AI, enterprise software, data infrastructure, cloud, analytics or applied research; experience that is purely functional and lacks Partner – Executive Advisory-level industry-solutions business consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Bengaluru location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 166.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated Partner – Executive Advisory package is ₹2.2–3.0 crore fixed + performance variable, calibrated to the final industry-solutions business scope and the candidate’s current mix. Any long-term participation for mandate 166 follows standard vesting and performance conditions. The Partner – Executive Advisory appointment in Bengaluru, centred on the industry-solutions business, offers regular exposure to the board and its investment committee. A structured client and conflict transition of up to 6 months can be accommodated for mandate 166.
