Independent Business Development & Strategic Partnerships Consultant

*****This is an independent, non-exclusive professional engagement on a success-fee / revenue-sharing basis and does not constitute an offer of employment. All engagements will be subject to a definitive agreement, mutual due diligence, and applicable regulatory requirements.*****

A client is looking for a Business Development & Partnerships Partner to drive the next phase of growth for our consulting practice.

This is an entrepreneurial, deal-based role, not a conventional BD seat. You will work directly with the CEO, on originating mandates, structuring strategic alliances, and opening institutional doors across markets.

We are particularly keen to hear from professionals with depth in one or more of the following:

Venture Capital / Private Equity fund, portfolio, or LP relationships and an understanding of how founders and investors make decisions
Media & Marketing brand, communications, or ecosystem-building experience that creates visibility and inbound demand
Public Policy & Government Affairs experience engaging with regulators, industry bodies, and policy stakeholders
Accelerators & Incubators – established relationships with programme leads, cohorts, and the founder pipeline
Think Tanks & Policy Forums – access to research institutions, roundtables, and thought-leadership platforms

What this looks like:
• Revenue-sharing / success-linked engagement with meaningful upside
• Direct access to leadership and decision-making
• Room to shape how the practice grows, not just execute a sales target
• Cross-border exposure across India, the UAE, Singapore, and beyond

If you have a strong network, a credible track record, and the appetite to build something with a growing organization, this could be the right opportunity.
