The Opportunity

Our client is looking for a proven, elite business development executive — not a manager of process, but a hunter and relationship architect who has spent a career selling and growing technology professional services, not software or products. You know the difference between moving licenses and building long‑term advisory and implementation engagements, and you've built a career doing the latter. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high‑visibility, high‑impact role at one of the most award‑winning consulting firms in the country (45+ culture and workplace recognitions) and own the technology services growth agenda.

If you've built books of business from scratch in a services environment, thrive in complex consultative engagements, and have a network of technology platform partners, channel leaders, and enterprise executives who take your call — we need to talk.

Responsibilities:

• Drive enterprise revenue by identifying, pursuing, and closing high-value professional services engagements — advisory, implementation, and managed services — with C-level executives across finance, operations, and enterprise technology functions
• Grow markets — identify whitespace, build presence in untapped sectors, and establish our client as the go‑to advisory and implementation partner in the enterprise technology space
• Activate and expand your partner network from day one. You bring relationships with technology platforms and channel partners (e.g., Workiva, Pigment, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP S/4HANA); you'll leave with more
• Lead consultative sales cycles end‑to‑end — from prospecting and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close — with a clear command of value and ROI
• Set the bar for pipeline discipline: accurate forecasting, rigorous activity metrics, and consistent execution across cold outreach, partner referrals, and networking channels
• Cultivate and deepen technology partner relationships — working closely with platform vendors and alliance partners to generate co‑selling opportunities and expand our clients market reach
• Partner with delivery and practice leadership to sharpen service offerings and ensure client and partner needs shape our clients technology market positioning
• Stay ahead of the market — competitive intelligence, emerging platform trends, and evolving client technology priorities are your domain

Experience:

• 10+ years in technology professional services sales or business development — selling advisory, implementation, or managed services engagements, not software or products — with consistent, demonstrable quota attainment
• C-suite and partner fluency — you've sold to, partnered with, and built lasting relationships with CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, and technology platform executives
• Ecosystem and channel expertise — you understand how to navigate and leverage technology partner ecosystems to drive mutual pipeline and revenue growth
• Market creation — you've opened new geographies, verticals, or partner channels, not just inherited warm pipelines
• A live, active network of enterprise technology executives and platform partners who trust your judgment and engage your outreach
• Deep familiarity with enterprise technology platforms in financial reporting, planning, or ERP environments (e.g., Workiva, Pigment, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP S/4HANA) strongly preferred
• The self-discipline and competitive drive to operate as an independent producer in a high‑expectation environment

Non-negotiables: At least two of the following three must be deeply embedded in your experience — C-level relationship development, technology partner/alliance ecosystem management, and an extensive, active industry network.
