• Create and deliver strategic client development plans in collaboration with Client Partners and their teams.
• Facilitate regular client team meetings to share insights, identify cross-selling opportunities, and plan development activities.
• Design and implement a KAM toolkit and monitor KPIs, reporting progress and evolving CRM systems to share insights and best practice.

Client Feedback & Listening Programme

• Drive the collection and use of client feedback to enhance the firm's CX programme.
• Work with external insight providers to embed new technologies and improve reporting formats.
• Ensure feedback drives continuous improvement across sectors and departments.

Client Experience (CX)

• Develop and deliver a prioritised plan to improve client experience across the lifecycle.
• Collaborate with the Head of Pursuits to create robust onboarding processes for strategic appointments.
• Embed best practice approaches into BAU client management.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in implementing and driving client programme plans, ideally within a professional services environment.
• Strong relationship management, influencing, and facilitation skills to engage senior stakeholders.
• A track record in client management/business development is desirable.
• Self-assured, credible, and able to challenge constructively.
• Highly organised, proactive, and resilient, with excellent time management skills.
• Ability to thrive under pressure in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
