- Build and maintain strong, long-term client relationships.
- Understand client businesses, operational risks and commercial drivers.
- Attend client meetings at senior management and board level where appropriate.
- Manage client expectations, deliverables, deadlines and commercial requirements.
- Identify opportunities for additional consultancy, training and support services.
- Ensure high levels of client satisfaction and encourage repeat business.
