• •Coordinate consulting leaders, Marketing, Client Development, and subject-matter experts to create a consistent client experience and sustain momentum between major seller interactions.
• •Establish an operating cadence for assigned accounts, track commitments and next steps, and surface stalled activity or changing account conditions.
• •Deliver concise, decision-oriented updates on relationship expansion, qualified engagement, account strategy, and commercial progress.

Requirements:

• •Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and professional experience.
• •Seven or more years of experience in consultative business development, strategic account management, client development, or a comparable role serving complex B2B financial services customers.

• •Experience mapping complex financial services accounts, identifying buying centers and whitespace, developing senior relationships, and connecting organizational challenges to relevant solutions.
• •Demonstrated ability to engage senior executives, communicate thought leadership, expand relationships, and connect organizational challenges to relevant solutions.
