● Conduct quarterly business reviews and strategic planning sessions with client executives
● Partner with internal teams to ensure flawless operational execution
● Coach and support junior team members as needed

● A competitive spirit and relentless drive to hit goals
● Excellent communication skills—written and verbal
● Resilience, grit, and comfort working in a fast-paced environment
● Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
