• Oversee the implementation of strategies and measure client’s effectiveness. Analyze performance metrics and lead adjustments to optimize outcomes.

Required Experience:

• 10+ years of experience in relevant client-facing roles, such as Management Consulting, Customer Success, or Account Management, with a focus on large enterprise clients.
