The Collective is a curated network of senior leaders across insights, strategy, innovation, and analytics—built for those who want to stay engaged, not tied down. Our Market Advisors aren’t seeking full-time roles—they’re here to stay relevant, give back to the industry, and remain connected to what’s next. As a Market Advisor, you bring your expertise and relationships to the table, helping Bossey’s emerging clients reach the right people, at the right time, in the right way. From there, we take care of the rest—handling follow-up, demos, the sales process, and client management. You choose how involved you want to be, staying close to the action or stepping back entirely.
As a Market Advisor, you’re a trusted leader who plays a vital role in opening doors and building momentum. You use your network to thoughtfully identify decision-makers who would genuinely benefit from a Bossey client’s offering. More than just passing along a name, you make warm, intentional introductions that carry weight and context. You help emerging platforms, agencies, and tools gain credibility by lending your reputation and perspective. And if it’s a fit, you may also choose to support short-term advisory or project-based consulting engagements, bringing even more value to both sides.
Joining as a Market Advisor is a way to stay connected, make an impact, and do meaningful work—on your own terms. You’ll keep a pulse on emerging tools, evolving buyer needs, and shifting market trends, all without the demands of a full-time role. It’s a chance to help innovative companies tackle challenges you’ve already navigated in your own career. You can also ethically monetize your network by making thoughtful introductions and earning generous referral fees—typically 10% of Year 1 revenue—with no quotas and no pressure. Plus, you’ll engage with a curated group of respected peers through monthly roundtables, collaborative workshops, and informal conversations that keep you inspired and in the know.
We’re looking for seasoned professionals who bring both experience and perspective. You likely have 15+ years in consumer insights, brand strategy, analytics, or innovation, with a track record as a senior leader at an agency, client-side organization, or data/tech firm. Maybe you’re in transition, semi-retired, or building a portfolio career that lets you focus on the work you enjoy most. You’re a respected voice in industries like CPG, retail, pharma, QSR, or financial services—and you’re known for your integrity, sharp insight, and the strength of your network.
Here’s how it works—it’s simple, flexible, and designed to respect your time. We start with a streamlined onboarding process, giving you everything you need: clear offer overviews, one-pagers, intro scripts, and optional training if you want to dive deeper. From there, you identify and introduce high-fit contacts, and we take it from there—no follow-up burden on you. For your efforts, you’ll earn either flat referral fees or a percentage of closed revenue, with bonuses for high-impact or enterprise introductions. And throughout it all, you’ll stay connected through our monthly virtual roundtables, early looks at new Bossey offerings, and community recognition like spotlights and our “Connector of the Month” feature.
