• Advanced degrees in organizational psychology, industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology, or related behavioral sciences are preferred, but not required.
• Deep knowledge of the full business development cycle: identifying opportunities, shaping solutions, developing proposals, pricing strategically, negotiating and executing contracts, and transitioning to delivery.

Requirements

• Serve as the senior-most point of accountability for major client relationships and engagements.
• Act as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives, board members, and their direct reports on people, leadership, and culture topics.

• Develop and present proposals, pitch materials, and business cases to prospective clients.
• Identify cross-selling opportunities across firm service lines and practice areas.
• Meet or exceed individual revenue and business development targets.
• Build and leverage an external network of senior executives, decision-makers, and referral sources.

• Provide timely, direct coaching and performance feedback that develops team members’ strengths.
• Contribute to recruiting, onboarding, and retention of top consulting talent.
• Model the firm’s values and ethical standards in all client and internal interactions.
