In this role, the Senior Director would drive qualified revenue by deeply understanding the business processes Huron's Financial Services clients seek to transform — across the FS value chain — including finance, accounting, FP&A, risk and compliance, treasury, payments, lending, servicing, and operations. These efforts would allow for architecting of credible, differentiated solutions that win competitive transformational pursuits. This leader would serve as the senior transformation architect from the first client conversation through delivery oversight, operating across the full account lifecycle from business development through solution deployment.
As a market-facing leader, the Senior Director would own a portfolio of clients and projects, would lead larger transformation programs, and would drive business development as an industry and process subject matter expert. The role positions business-process transformation as the entry point into broader enterprise programs alongside the FSI Commercial Lead and Digital Advisory Lead and serves as delivery principal post-close to provide continuity from sale through execution. The position carries full client, team, and practice management responsibility, with significant onsite client contact and the potential for weekly travel.
This role is within the Digital practice with a specialization in the Financial Services Industry.
