Atlanta, GA | Norfolk, VA | Nashville, TN | Framingham, MA (on-site / hybrid by location)

We are hiring on behalf of our client, a global technology and consulting leader, for a Client Partner to own and grow a strategic retail account portfolio. This is a senior, customer-facing role with full P&L accountability, built for someone who can deepen executive relationships while driving new revenue and large-deal closure across an established book of business.

As Client Partner you will own the growth strategy and financial performance of a retail account portfolio end to end. You will build trusted relationships at the CXO level, identify and convert new business areas and service lines, and lead the full sales lifecycle from pipeline development through total contract value closure. You will partner with alliance partners on joint pipeline creation, work across internal horizontals for account planning and revenue growth, and lead delivery governance and continuous customer engagement.

The role also carries team management and talent development responsibility.
