Managing Partner – Growth Advisory — Data-Products Franchise

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 enterprise technology and digital-products group. The immediate arena is the data-products franchise during a growth-stage governance reset. For mandate 136, 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 S$1,750 million in annual recurring revenue portfolio, with activity spanning several data-products franchise customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Managing Partner – Growth Advisory Technology remit carries direct influence over roughly 425 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-products franchise. The Managing Partner – Growth Advisory Technology seat must resolve a growth-stage governance reset, while preserving the underlying strengths of the data-products franchise. For mandate 136, 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-products franchise is expected to end with origination diversity, partner leverage and recurring board mandates. In mandate 136, 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 Managing Partner – Growth Advisory — Data-Products Franchise seat following an accelerated leadership transition. Interim accountability is in place for the data-products franchise, but the board wants a permanent appointment within 6–8 weeks because a growth-stage governance reset 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 Managing Partner – Growth Advisory value-creation thesis for the data-products franchise, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately S$1,750 million in annual recurring revenue portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory Technology organisation of about 425 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the data-products franchise economics and execution constraints created by a growth-stage governance 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-products franchise; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Bring a verifiable book of trusted board relationships and evidence of building partner economics beyond personal billings in mandate 136.
• Build the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory’s three-year succession and capability plan for the data-products franchise, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Technology organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the data-products franchise 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-products franchise, 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-products franchise 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-products franchise 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-products franchise’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the Managing Partner – Growth Advisory mandate’s highest-priority data-products franchise risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical data-products franchise 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-products franchise operating constraint behind a growth-stage governance reset, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 136: 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 Technology or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the data-products franchise, 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.
