Client Partner

You are strategic, resilient, and engaging with people. You are a natural self-starter and an inspiring leader with a passion for solving complex problems, and you bring a consultative mindset paired with a sharp understanding of the technology driving today's business world. If this sounds like you, this could be the perfect opportunity to join EPAM in Account Management, owning and growing a portfolio of enterprise clients across Southern California and selling EPAM's integrated product engineering, design, and consulting services.

As a Client Partner , you will act as the primary portfolio owner for your accounts, partnering with EPAM Account Managers, Functional Experts, Delivery Managers, and Delivery Teams to help clients achieve their goals. You will create and oversee account strategy, architect engagement approaches, build lasting executive relationships, and drive business results — with a strong local presence across the LA, Orange County, and San Diego markets.
