Client Partner - Workforce & Economic Development (Remote)

Resultant is a modern consulting firm with a radically different approach to solving problems.

We don’t solve problems for our clients. We solve problems with them.

Through outcomes driven by data analytics, technology solutions, digital transformation, and beyond, our team works with clients in both the public and private sectors to solve their most complex challenges. We start by learning as much as we can about who they are, how they work, and what they’re striving for so we can feel their problems as our own. Partnering with our clients means their desired outcomes are always top of mind, their challenges and strengths guiding our efforts. We build client-focused relationships before we build unique solutions that blaze past expectations.

Originally founded in Indianapolis as KSM Consulting in 2008, Resultant now employs more than 450 team members who operate from offices around the United States including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Odon, Indiana; Columbus, Ohio; Lansing, Michigan; Denver, Colorado; Dallas, Texas; and Atlanta, Georgia.

We’re Resultant. Clients partner with us to see a difference. People join us to make one.

Resultant is a rapidly growing consulting firm specializing in helping clients in the public sector navigate the complex IT, data, and management challenges they face. Our team of experts spans various domains and is made up of former practitioners who have selected Resultant as their professional home because they want to use data to make a difference. These experts provide strategic guidance, innovative solutions, and support to government agencies at the state and local level, as well as commercial and non-profit organizations, with an overarching goal of delivering impactful solutions that drive public value.             

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced leader to join us as a Client Partner and drive our strategy, business development, and offering development.                                             

As the Client Partner for the Workforce and Economic Development practice, you will shape and execute business development efforts while being the trusted advisor our clients rely on. You will be key in defining our workforce and economic development market offerings and expanding our presence in the government sector by producing go-to-market strategies through collaboration with subject-matter experts, technical consultants, and external stakeholders. We are looking for a proactive team member to position Resultant as a trusted advisor and innovator in existing public sector clients while supporting Resultant's expansion into new markets by shaping public sector offerings and services. To achieve these outcomes the Client Partner will work closely to complement our delivery resources by leading client portfolios but will not have any direct delivery responsibly themselves.

Note: Resultant is focused mainly on the state government market, but federal and local markets are potential targets as well.
