  • Lead practice development through a consultative mindset to broaden services via proposals, engagement letters, and client relationship-building activities.
  • Work across Plante Moran’s Management Consulting practice to increase SRA’s awareness and engagements.
  • Play a trusted advisor to automotive suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) through continued support and expansion of industry relationships.
  • Develop content for firm market development, with a particular focus on the automotive industry.

The qualifications.

  • Bachelors’ Degree in Finance, Economics, Operations, Engineering, or a related field is required. Advanced degree in Business or a related field is preferred.

  • Travel throughout the US and limited international travel may be required.

Our difference.

On the surface, we’re one of the nation’s largest audit, tax, consulting, and wealth management firms. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll see what makes us different: we’re a relatively jerk-free firm (hey, nobody’s perfect) with a world-class culture, consistent recognition as one of Fortune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For,” and an endless array of opportunities. At Plante Moran, diversity, equity and inclusion means that all staff members have equitable and fair opportunities to succeed, in an inclusive environment, with their individual, unique identities. So, what are you waiting for?

Apply now. Make your mark.

This is an exempt position, so you may have to work hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week.

Plante Moran is committed to a diverse workplace. We strive to create a culture where each person feels accepted and valued. We believe that each person’s ultimate potential begins with first acknowledging their inherent dignity. When we can recognize — and celebrate — our many human differences, we’re able to create a workplace where all staff feel a sense of belonging and an opportunity to succeed. This allows us to attract and retain the best talent, serve clients through diverse thinking, and better represent and support the various communities in which we live and work. Plante Moran is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
