• Client-Facing Skills: Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills, with the ability to build rapport and influence at all levels.
• Leadership & Management: Proven ability to lead and motivate teams, delegate effectively, and manage multiple projects concurrently.
• Business Development: A demonstrable track record of contributing to business development activities and a genuine desire to grow a client portfolio.
