Client Partner - GCC Lead

Client Partner - GCC Lead

Grassik is looking to build an internal GCC practice. We are looking for a high-energy, commercially sharp professional to build and grow our GCC practice. This role is ideal for someone who has previously managed & hired for clients within the GCC ecosystem in India, and can translate client hiring needs into high-quality leadership and specialist talent solutions.

If you excel at building relationships with senior stakeholders and driving business growth, we want to hear from you.

Key responsibilities:

• Build, manage and expand relationships with GCC leaders, CHROs, functional heads and business stakeholders.
• Lead client acquisition, onboarding and account growth for new and existing GCC clients.
• Understand client business priorities, organization structures, workforce plans and hiring challenges; translate these into clear search and talent-advisory strategies.
• Drive end-to-end execution for leadership and mid-to-senior hiring mandates, from role briefing and market mapping to candidate engagement, client coordination and closure.
• Create, lead, & mentor a team of consultants to ensure high-quality delivery, speed and strong candidate experience.
• Own search strategy and ensure the team develops robust talent maps across priority GCC sectors, functions and locations.
• Represent the firm in client meetings, industry forums and GCC-related events; willingness to travel for client engagement is essential.

Role requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in executive search, recruitment consulting, talent advisory, or a similar client-facing talent role.
• At least 4 years of direct experience working with GCC clients, including managing mandates, stakeholder relationships and delivery teams.
• Strong understanding of the Indian GCC landscape, including key hiring hubs, talent pools, leadership structures and current demand areas.
• Demonstrated success in client onboarding, business development, account management and growing long-term client relationships.
• Strong hands-on execution capability; this is a leadership role, but not a purely managerial one. The person must be comfortable leading searches, engaging candidates and driving closures personally.
• Experience managing and developing a team, with strong quality control and delivery discipline.
• Ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders, including CHROs, GCC heads, business leaders and functional CXOs.
• Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation and relationship-management skills.
• Openness to travel within India and, where required, internationally for client meetings and industry engagement.
