Partner & Practice Leader – Consumer, Retail & D2C Brands

Company: BGR (Blue Genes Research)
Location: Remote / Flexible (Core Hubs: Bengaluru | Hyderabad | Pune | Delhi-NCR)
Engagement Type: Entrepreneurial Practice Partnership (Independent P&L Ownership)
Industry: Retained Executive Search & Board Advisory
The Mandate: Shape the Leadership Behind India’s Consumer Growth
India’s consumer market is evolving rapidly through omnichannel convergence, quick commerce, and modern D2C scaling alongside legacy FMCG powerhouses. Consumer enterprises require agile, high-performing leaders who can navigate modern unit economics, supply chains, and digital marketing.
BGR invites accomplished commercial heads, CMOs, and consumer business leaders to launch an independent Consumer & Retail Executive Search Practice.
Transform your deep industry footprint into high-margin retained search retainers without corporate bureaucratic constraints.
What You Will Do
Own the Consumer & Retail Vertical: Build a specialized practice servicing FMCG giants, retail networks, and venture-funded D2C scale-ups.
CXO Search Origination: Retain and execute mandates for Chief Executive Officers, CMOs, Chief Commercial Officers, Supply Chain Heads, and E-commerce Leads.
Strategic Client Advisory: Advise Founders, PE/VC Operating Partners, and Corporate Boards on leadership structures needed for market expansion.
Practitioner-Led Evaluation: Evaluate senior candidates on brand stewardship, P&L agility, unit economics discipline, and omnichannel execution.
Practice Commercials & Engagement Model
Entrepreneurial Partnership (No Fixed CTC): This is an independent Practice Ownership engagement, not a salaried corporate job. There is no fixed corporate base salary or retainer.
High-Yield Revenue Split: Partners operate an independent P&L, retaining the dominant share (up to 70–80%) of all generated billings.
No Franchise Overhead: No heavy franchise licensing fees. Your capital is your domain credibility, time, and executive network.
Uncapped Earning Potential: Build personal equity in your client relationships with total control over your schedule.
The BGR Institutional Advantage
Global Search Lineage: Enter client pitches backed by BGR's retained search pedigree across 40+ countries.
Plug-and-Play Search Tools: Ready-to-deploy market-mapping tools, candidate pipeline databases, and assessment playbooks.
Turnkey Back-Office Suite: Comprehensive operational support covering legal contracts, client pitching assets, and IT systems.
