Job description

Strategic Business Development Partner – Switzerland

Independent Partnership | Commission-Based | Flexible & Remote

Your Network. Our Expertise. Shared Success.

Great business partnerships often begin with a simple introduction.

At Krila Consultancy, we're a Swiss-based boutique HR consultancy helping startups and growing businesses build stronger people practices, navigate organizational challenges, and prepare for their next stage of growth.

As we expand our HR advisory services across Switzerland, we're looking for a well-connected professional who enjoys bringing people and businesses together.

This isn't a traditional business development role. We're looking for someone who believes in the value of their professional network and would like to turn meaningful connections into shared opportunities.

What You'll Be Introducing

Our advisory services focus on two key areas:

  1. People & Growth Health Check

A focused organizational assessment designed for startups and growing companies, particularly those with 5–50 employees.

We help founders and leadership teams understand how well their people practices support business growth, identifying strengths, organizational gaps, leadership challenges, and opportunities for improvement.

The result is a practical assessment and a prioritized 90-day action plan.

2. Fractional HR & People Advisory

Flexible, ongoing HR support for businesses that need experienced people expertise without building a full-time internal HR function.

From organizational development and people processes to leadership support, employee experience, performance management, and HR strategy, we help companies build the foundations for sustainable growth.

Your Role in Our Journey

  • Leverage your existing network within the Swiss startup, scaleup, and business community.

  • Connect Krila with founders, CEOs, COOs, and other relevant decision-makers.

  • Identify businesses that could benefit from practical HR consultancy and people advisory services.

  • Facilitate warm introductions and initial conversations.

  • Help create opportunities for meaningful, long-term client partnerships.

You open the door. We take care of the rest.

Our team handles discovery meetings, proposals, consulting engagements, and ongoing client relationships.

What's in It for You?

  • 40% commission on the first collected client invoice, excluding VAT and similar indirect taxes.

  • 15% commission on subsequent projects with the same client during the first 12 months.

  • No fixed working hours, sales quotas, or mandatory schedules.

  • Freedom to combine this partnership with your existing professional activities.

  • The opportunity to collaborate with a Swiss-based consultancy and build a long-term professional relationship.

This is an independent, commission-only partnership with no fixed salary or retainer. Commissions are payable once the corresponding client payments have been received.
