Client Partner (Account Executive)

Catalant, the pioneer of Consulting 2.0, has helped the biggest and best companies use independent consultants for their most important work for over 10 years. More than 30% of the Fortune 500, top PE firms, and leading consultancies partner with Catalant to gain access to highly skilled, experienced business professionals who’ve solved their exact problems before. Over 100k talented independent consultants count themselves as Catalant Experts. 

We reinvented the traditional consulting model with our modern, digitally-enabled approach to solving complex business problems, giving leaders (even those outside of the C-suite) direct access through a technology platform to the expertise of senior operators, SMEs, and former consultants. With backing from some of the world's top venture capital firms, we continue to bolster our industry-leading platform by growing the team that will take Catalant to the next level.

As a Client Partner, you will be an integral part of the growth within a targeted portfolio of named accounts within your industry vertical (e.g., Consumer, Industrials, Healthcare, Private Equity, Consulting and Commercial). Working within your specific community, you will work to expand the presence of Catalant experts across multiple departments, managing the entire sales cycle from lead generation to deal conversion and project extensions. With your deep understanding of Catalant’s offerings and your expertise in your industry, you will serve as a trusted advisor to your clients, identifying and promoting tailored solutions that address their most pressing business challenges. As an individual contributor on the team, your role will be pivotal in ensuring seamless project delivery and fostering long-term client relationships, ultimately contributing to the continued success and growth of both your accounts and Catalant.
