• Collaborate with leaders across all service lines to craft and execute targeted go‑to‑market strategies aligned with the firm’s relationship‑centric and AI‑enabled approach.
• Be part of building and scaling a world‑class national sales organization and client relationship capability.
• Track and report on pipeline performance, providing regular updates to firm leadership on activity, opportunities, and revenue forecast.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of demonstrated success in business development and client relationship management, with a proven track record of selling within professional services, consulting, staffing, or software to the Office of the CFO.
• Exceptional, well‑established professional network across the Seattle region— with trusted, senior‑level relationships spanning the Office of the CFO, C‑suite, board members, and Private Equity sponsors at mid‑market and enterprise companies.
• Demonstrated track record of identifying, developing, and closing significant new client relationships—working collaboratively with delivery leaders and practice experts to win.
• Knowledge of the business development and client relationship cycle—including sales planning, lead generation, pipeline management, account planning, and go‑to‑market strategy.
• Comfortable operating in a fast‑moving, technology‑enabled environment—curious about how AI and emerging solutions are reshaping the advisory landscape and the Office of the CFO.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across teams and with all levels of the firm.
