VICE PRESIDENT & PARTNER|CHICAGO / MIDWEST

You already know how to develop leaders and help organizations navigate complex talent challenges.

Are you ready to become just as exceptional at winning new opportunities to do that work?

We are looking for a trusted executive talent advisor and expert facilitator with the drive to build a thriving client portfolio. You do not need a formal sales background. You do need to love to solve complex business problems through improving leadership and specialist effectiveness and have a strong desire to master enterprise selling. You will bring the initiative, courage, resilience, and determination to earn and deliver on the business.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As a VP & Partner for Leadership Pipeline Institute (LPI US branch of the global firm), you will help medium and large organizations strengthen their leadership and specialist pipelines, improve succession and talent decisions, and accelerate leadership transitions. You will be both an accomplished practitioner and an active builder of LPI’s presence across the Midwest.

• Create and own business opportunities: initiate conversations, build a qualified pipeline, develop executive relationships, and personally advance opportunities to commitment.
• Consult with courage: get beneath the presenting request, surface the business issue that matters, challenge assumptions respectfully, and confidently recommend what the client truly needs.
• Win and deliver: shape compelling LPI solutions, ask for decisions, close engagements, and facilitate high-impact executive and leadership experiences.
• Partner across LPI: draw on US and international colleagues and clients, proven solutions, and operating support to deliver the right client solutions.

THE AMBITION WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Building relationships is necessary but not sufficient. We want someone energized by opening doors, pursuing an opportunity when the answer is not yet yes, navigating senior-stakeholder resistance, and asking for the business. Someone who prepares rigorously, follows through relentlessly, learns from setbacks, and measures progress by meaningful client decisions, not just positive conversations.

If the challenge of becoming an outstanding enterprise salesperson excites you, we want to meet you.

A SERIOUS INVESTMENT IN YOUR SALES TRANSITION

You will not be left to invent your own sales playbook. LPI provides an enterprise-quality sales process, enablement tools and systems, a structured sales transition program, and ongoing coaching and development.

Year 1 is a full ramp focused on learning, proactive business development activity, and building a healthy sales pipeline. Individual sales targets begin in Year 2. The runway is intentional; ownership, effort, disciplined follow-through, and visible progress are expected from the outset.

WHO WILL THRIVE HERE

• A senior corporate HR, talent, leadership development, OD consultant, or organizational leader ideally with 10+ years in medium or large enterprises and a practical grasp of how business priorities drive talent decisions.
• Alternatively, an accomplished business leader with deep organizational and leadership experience. Consulting backgrounds are welcome, especially where they bring a record of winning business.
• An expert facilitator and credible executive presence who can engage, challenge, and influence senior leaders without becoming theoretical or overly deferential.
• A self-directed, commercially curious person who enjoys prospecting, asks strong questions, handles rejection constructively, and takes ownership of momentum and results.
• Someone with real ties to the Chicago / Midwest market: through current or former roles, clients, time living here, personal connections, or a substantive regional network.

PRACTICALITIES AND COMPENSATION

Midwest focus, with flexibility on current residence for candidates with meaningful regional ties. Permanent US work authorization required. Expect approximately 30–40 travel days per year and 40–50 online or onsite client delivery days annually.

Compensation is a fixed salary plus commission, with fixed salary as the primary component.
