TQ Advisory - Independent Business Development & Strategic Partnerships Consultant

Engagement Overview: This is an independent, non-exclusive professional engagement on a success-fee / revenue-sharing basis and does not constitute an offer of employment.

Focus Areas: - Startup & Founder Ecosystem - Corporate & Institutional Relationships - Industry & Community Networks - Strategic Mandates & Client Acquisition - CXO, Founder & Business Communities Role Expectations: - 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.
