This is a senior, client-facing role focused on a defined portfolio of strategic accounts.

With expertise in managing strategic client relationships, you will have a strong track record of growing accounts, spotting opportunities and cross selling. You will build credibility with the partnership, becoming a trusted adviser to the Client Relationship Partners you work with.  You will be able to influence and challenge constructively when needed. Some experience within a law firm is ideal, but experience of working in a partnership is essential.
