● You have a wealth of account management experience, having brought on new clients and grown existing accounts. You’ve built strong relationships with those clients in the past, and are adept at maintaining and deepening client relationships
● You have exceptional new business and client-facing skills, and are comfortable with senior-level client negotiations
