Job Description

Blend360 is looking for a senior Client Partner to own and grow a strategic, established account in the Technology, Media & Telecom (TMT) space— with a specific focus in the telecommunications and ISP market. This is a high-impact role for someone who brings executive presence, deep sector knowledge, and a genuine passion for turning data, analytics, and AI into measurable client outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Own the full account — strategy, growth execution, and P&L — with a mandate to expand the relationship and deepen Blend360's footprint within the client organization.
• Identify and close new business opportunities across the client portfolio; develop and deliver compelling pitches, proposals, and Statements of Work (SOW) that speak to the client's strategic priorities.
• Negotiate pricing and engagement structures that deliver strong value for the client while achieving healthy margins for Blend360.

• Represent the voice of the client internally, ensuring Blend360's delivery teams understand the business context and are set up to succeed.

Qualifications

Industry Expertise

• 10+ years of experience in client management or business development within data-driven marketing, analytics, or data services — with a minimum of 5 years focused on the TMT sector.
• Deep understanding of the telecommunications and ISP landscape: familiarity with the competitive dynamics, customer lifecycle challenges, network operations, and digital transformation pressures facing Tier 1 and Tier 2 telcos and ISPs.
• Established network of senior relationships across telecom and ISP organizations — you know how these companies buy, who the decision makers are, and how to navigate complex, matrixed procurement environments.
• Fluency in the data and analytics use cases most relevant to telecom and ISP clients: churn reduction, customer lifetime value modeling, network analytics, revenue assurance, personalization at scale, and AI-driven customer experience.

Consulting & Client Management Background

• Big 4 or top-tier management consulting background (or equivalent) strongly preferred. Experience in a consulting environment shapes the structured problem-solving approach, executive communication style, and commercial discipline this role demands.
• Proven track record of growing accounts — not just retaining them. You have a history of expanding scope, introducing new capabilities, and converting relationships into revenue.
• Ability to partner effectively with Capability and Practice Leaders to shape solutions and close new business. You are a connector as much as a closer.
• Experienced at building business cases and ROI narratives that resonate with data-driven and finance-oriented stakeholders.

How You Work

• You have the 'driver' gene — proactive, energized by building relationships, and relentless in pursuing new opportunities across the client organization.
• Passionate about the intersection of data, analytics, and technology — and genuinely excited to bring those capabilities to bear on clients' most pressing challenges.
• Executive-level presentation and communication skills; you are as comfortable in a boardroom as you are in a working session with an analytics team.
• Creative, resourceful, solutions-oriented, and highly organized. You manage ambiguity well and keep multiple workstreams moving simultaneously.
• Collaborative and flexible — you know how to bring internal teams along without losing momentum.
• Willing and able to travel to client locations as the engagement requires.
