• Act as the senior client relationship lead, managing executive-level relationships, presenting with authority to C-suite, boards, and investors, and navigating challenge and negotiation.
• Drive business development and origination. Llead proposals and pitches, cultivate client and intermediary relationships, and convert opportunities into engagements.
• Manage engagement economics end-to-end, including budgeting, resourcing, WIP, billing, recoverability, and profitability.
• Lead post-deal value creation and 100-day planning, and orchestrate multi-disciplinary teams across Deals, Corporate Finance, and sector specialists to deliver integrated, differentiated advice.
• Champion practice growth and thought leadership. Develop sector expertise and points of view, enhance tools and methodologies, and contribute to the strategic direction, recruitment, and culture of the Strategy& practice.

• Ability to structure ambiguous problems, develop hypotheses, and quantify market and customer insights.
