Aprio is building a world-class Client Experience practice, and we’re looking for a Manager of Client Experience to help bring that vision to life. Reporting directly to the Director of Client Experience, this role is the connective tissue between strategy and execution — translating our CX vision into programs, processes, and partnerships that clients and colleagues feel every day. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with a clear path to building and leading a team. You’ll own key elements of our Voice of Client program, lead cross-functional initiatives alongside our Go-to-Market and Growth teams, and collaborate closely with client-facing leaders across Aprio’s practice groups. You’ll also be expected to leverage AI tools as a core part of how you work, driving efficiency, quality, and speed across everything you do. If you’re energized by both the craft of client experience and the complexity of a dynamic professional services environment, this role is for you.

• Process-oriented thinker who can identify inefficiencies and translate them into scalable solutions, including automation and workflow improvements.

• Able to apply AI tools to real work: drafting and refining communications, synthesizing client feedback, building frameworks and playbooks, automating routine workflows, and accelerating analysis.
