This is an opportunity for someone who has already proven they can run engagements and is ready for more influence across clients, people, and the broader practice.You'll own key client relationships, lead complex engagements from planning through issuance, develop the next generation of talent, and work directly with firm leadership on the issues that matter most to clients.
