Connecting brands with the people who define them.

Our approach.
Consumer talent is judged on what it built: the brand turned around, the channel opened, the P&L grown. We calibrate on that record — market by market, category by category — before a single approach is made.
The practice spans the full arc of the sector: legacy FMCG scale, platform commerce, and the D2C and quick-commerce businesses rewriting distribution — with the pay and equity realities of each.

Channel and distribution hiring from general trade to quick commerce

Which consumer businesses does SYMPHONI HR hire for?
FMCG, retail, e-commerce and quick commerce, D2C brands, fashion, luxury and consumer durables — brand, sales, supply chain, digital and store leadership.
