Description
Are you ready to make an impact?
West Monroe is seeking a Senior Account Partner to join West Monroe’s fast-growing Utilities Practice, aligned to the Northeast and East Coast. This leader will be responsible for growing the depth and breadth of our Utilities business across two to three existing large Northeast accounts. In addition, this leader will support growth in other large accounts nationally by leveraging their network, skills, capabilities, and proven successes. The Senior Account Partner will lead, shape, and convert firmwide strategy, management, technology, and digital consulting services to address emerging opportunities within existing large accounts.
This leader will assemble the right account, pursuit, and delivery teams and lead opportunities from origination through close. The successful candidate will bring deep sales and account management experience, strong industry and/or technology fluency, a relevant executive network, and a demonstrated record of success meeting or exceeding annual sales goals in consulting, professional services, technology services, or a similarly complex environment.
This person will work closely with Utilities and firmwide leadership and account teams to create measurable revenue impact and support the professional development of account teams.
The successful candidate will bring an extensive network of senior utility contacts, experience across the utility value chain of consulting services, and ideally some existing contracts or accounts (to the extent the candidate is not subject to a non-compete clause with their current employer).
The candidate is expected to originate and deliver transformational programs and help shape the future of the industry - bringing deep utility industry expertise, a strong network, and a passion for building teams, developing talent, and driving meaningful client outcomes in an entrepreneurial consulting environment.
As a Senior Account Partner, the successful candidate will be assigned one to three large existing accounts to oversee and grow. Growth may come from engaging new buyers within existing accounts and/or selling new services to existing buyers. Success in these accounts will be leveraged to support other large accounts across the country and showcase West Monroe’s capabilities, distinctive competencies, and measurable outcomes. Bonus compensation, in addition to base salary, will be awarded based on account growth and sales performance.
