  • Strong business development experience using networks and existing relationships to identify new sales opportunities based on Huron's capabilities, designing solutions that meet new and existing client business objectives, and effectively articulating value and return on investment to close new business
  • Demonstrated experience leading and designing large matrixed teams, including leadership experience, team and culture building, coaching/mentoring, and accountability for the performance management of the team at director and below level
  • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain an extensive professional network internally and externally, recognizing opportunities to enhance and expand executive-level relationships, and identifying business development opportunities that align with Huron's capabilities
