The Client Partner (CP) is the account director responsible for managing a portfolio of key client accounts within a specific industry. Each CP typically oversees multiple mid-sized accounts (e.g. SLED portfolios or major divisions of a firm supporting SLED) and is accountable for their overall growth, profitability, and client satisfaction. Acting as a "mini-CEO" for their set of accounts, the CP develops strategic account plans, drives sales, coordinates delivery, and fosters strong positive client relationships. Reporting to the Segment Leader, this role is critical to expanding Apex's business in high potential accounts with the goal of evolving some into strategic accounts. The CP role requires an entrepreneurial mindset and a consultative approach, balancing sales leadership with delivery oversight to build and nurture long-term, trusted client partnerships.
