This is a newly created senior leadership opportunity, reporting directly to the CEO, with responsibility for key client accounts, consulting teams and commercial performance. It’s an ideal opportunity for an experienced change professional looking to take greater ownership and play a significant role in the growth and direction of a business.
The opportunity
You'll act as a senior representative across change management and change leadership, leading a portfolio of complex client accounts and working closely with associate teams to deliver high-quality outcomes.
