Partner – Executive Advisory — Energy-Services Division

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 integrated energy producer and services platform. The immediate arena is the energy-services division during an operating-model separation. For mandate 366, 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 ₹35,650 crore in operated asset and trading portfolio, with activity spanning several energy-services division customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Partner – Executive Advisory Oil & Energy remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,800 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 energy-services division. The Partner – Executive Advisory Oil & Energy seat must resolve an operating-model separation, while preserving the underlying strengths of the energy-services division. For mandate 366, 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 energy-services division is expected to end with origination, counsel quality and measurable client outcomes. In mandate 366, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

The Partner – Executive Advisory — Energy-Services Division requirement was not included in the approved hiring calendar. It became urgent after an operating-model separation created an immediate need for one accountable owner of the energy-services division. Interim coverage protects essential decisions, but split ownership cannot continue through the next operating gate. The board intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 4–6 weeks while preserving confidential, evidence-led diligence.

What you will own

• Set the Partner – Executive Advisory value-creation thesis for the energy-services division, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately ₹35,650 crore in operated asset and trading portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the Partner – Executive Advisory Oil & Energy organisation of about 1,800 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the energy-services division economics and execution constraints created by an operating-model separation, 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 energy-services division; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Show repeated senior-client origination plus responsibility for developing principals and future partners in mandate 366.
• Build the Partner – Executive Advisory’s three-year succession and capability plan for the energy-services division, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Oil & Energy organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the energy-services division 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 energy-services division, 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 energy-services division 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 energy-services division 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 energy-services division’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the Partner – Executive Advisory mandate’s highest-priority energy-services division risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical energy-services division 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 energy-services division operating constraint behind an operating-model separation, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 366: 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 Oil & Energy or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the energy-services division, 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 energy, oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, renewables or industrial services 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 Oil & Energy 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 ₹20,700 crore and led an organisation of at least 1,250 people. Advisory seats require equivalent energy-services division client-value ownership and multi-disciplinary leadership.

For mandate 366, the board wants two transitions: a difficult energy-services division portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during an operating-model separation. As the prospective Partner – Executive Advisory for this energy-services division, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 366 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The Partner – Executive Advisory role in Oil & Energy is based in Mumbai; 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 Oil & Energy governance forum.
• Proven Partner – Executive Advisory ownership of at least ₹20,700 crore and leadership of no fewer than 1,250 employees in a comparable energy-services division context.
• One completed Oil & Energy 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 energy, oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, renewables or industrial services; experience that is purely functional and lacks Partner – Executive Advisory-level energy-services division consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Mumbai location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 366.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated Partner – Executive Advisory package is ₹2.2–3.0 crore fixed + performance variable, calibrated to the final energy-services division scope and the candidate’s current mix. Any long-term participation for mandate 366 follows standard vesting and performance conditions. The Partner – Executive Advisory appointment in Mumbai, centred on the energy-services division, 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 366.

Confidentiality
