Their work sits across strategy, technology, organisational effectiveness and business transformation, working closely with leadership teams to solve complex problems and make change happen in a practical, sustainable way.

They are now looking for a Director to join their San Francisco team.

The Role:

This is a senior, client-facing position combining account growth, business development, consulting delivery and team leadership.

You’ll take ownership of important client relationships, identify opportunities to grow existing accounts, develop new business and lead high-quality consulting engagements.

You’ll also play an important role internally — developing consultants, contributing to the wider practice and helping build the business.

What you'll be doing:

• Build and develop strong relationships with senior client stakeholders.
• Own and grow existing client accounts, identifying opportunities to expand the relationship.
• Develop new business and build a strong pipeline of opportunities.
• Understand client challenges and shape consulting solutions around their needs.
• Lead complex consulting engagements and ensure high-quality delivery.
• Lead and develop consulting teams, providing coaching, feedback and career development.
• Develop proposals, presentations and statements of work.
• Work closely with clients throughout the engagement to ensure strong outcomes and relationships.
• Represent the business at relevant industry events and build relationships across the wider market.
• Contribute to the development of new services, initiatives and areas of expertise.

We're looking for:

We're interested in experienced consulting leaders who have a strong combination of commercial, client and delivery experience.

You'll ideally have:

• 10+ years of consulting experience
• At least 5 years of experience selling consulting work and leading teams
• A strong track record of developing client relationships and winning new business
• Experience growing existing accounts
• Experience leading complex consulting engagements
• Strong commercial and strategic thinking
• Experience working with senior / executive stakeholders
• The ability to scope work, develop proposals and present solutions
• Strong team leadership and people development experience
• A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• The ability to travel up to 25%
• The legal right to work in the US

Particularly interesting:

• A strong Bay Area network would be highly valuable. Ideally, you will have spent 5+ years living and working in the region and have established relationships across the local business community.
• Experience working with Technology / Software, Retail or CPG clients would also be particularly relevant.

Why this opportunity?

This is a role for someone who wants to have a genuine impact across clients, people and the wider consulting business.

You’ll have the opportunity to build relationships, grow accounts, lead meaningful transformation work and help develop the next stage of the business.
