Location: Charlotte, NC (preferred) · Experience: 10+ years of financial services consulting leadership

The role:

Ember is looking for a Client Partner to lead our Financial Services portfolio. You'll own our existing relationships with banks, asset managers, insurers, and payments firms, grow them into multi-year partnerships, and be fully accountable for their revenue and the quality of our work. Every Ember consultant serving our clients reports up through you.

What you'll own

• Client relationships. Serve as the senior, trusted advisor to executives across your accounts (COO, CFO, CRO, CCO, and line-of-business leaders). Know their priorities before they're on the agenda.
• Growth & Revenue. Own the annual revenue budget for your portfolio. Build account plans, forecast accurately, and expand scope through new workstreams, MSAs, and preferred supplier status.
• Quality. Own delivery excellence on every engagement. Set the standard, review the work, and resolve issues before they reach the client.
• People. Lead the consultants placed at your clients. Coach engagement principals and managers, staff the right talent, and drive utilization and retention.
• Firm building. Shape Ember's FS offerings in areas such as regulatory remediation, risk and compliance, finance transformation, AI governance, and operations. Partner with leadership on pricing, rate cards, and go-to-market.
• Talent planning. Partner with Ember's Talent team to anticipate recruiting needs. Read market and regulatory trends, spot where client demand is heading, and build the bench before the work arrives.
• Thought capital. Bring fresh, practical points of view to your clients on what's changing in financial services and what to do about it. Contribute to Ember's insights, events, and executive conversations.
