Description
About Voyage Advisory
Voyage Advisory is a boutique management consulting firm that helps organizations elevate service, drive performance, and power transformation. We partner with clients across customer experience, operations, technology, and organizational change initiatives, delivering practical solutions and measurable results.
As we continue to grow, we are seeking an experienced financial services industry leader to serve as a Senior Advisor focused on business development and strategic relationship cultivation.
Position Overview
The Senior Advisor – Financial Services Business Development will leverage an established network of financial services industry relationships to identify opportunities, create introductions, and help expand Voyage Advisory's presence within the financial services market.
This is not a traditional, end-to-end sales role, since Voyage's internal team supports proposal development, SOWs, and contracting. Rather, we are seeking a highly respected industry veteran who understands the challenges facing financial services organizations, maintains strong executive-level relationships, and can help connect Voyage with decision-makers who may benefit from our consulting services, and is expected to help guide those relationships toward closed business.
This is a flexible, part-time position requiring approximately 10–30 hours per month. While the schedule is flexible, this is an active, accountable role with defined performance expectations, not an informal referral arrangement.
