You will take responsibility for client-level P&L, acting as the arbiter of strategic investments for our clients while balancing margin, forecasting, and reporting sales. 
• Your focus will be on setting client growth and profitability strategies that align directly with Kin + Carta’s regional and global goals, updating account plans and goals accordingly. Maintaining a healthy gross margin will be crucial while hitting growth targets.
• Working alongside legal and delivery teams, you will sell and negotiate long-term agreements that deliver value and reflect K+C’s modern, agile ways of working. Building strong relationships and fair stances with procurement departments will be essential, as you track invoice aging and ensure all resource requests, rates, and invoices are correct.

Leadership:
