About The Position

Catalant is seeking a senior-level Client Partner to drive growth and build lasting partnerships within our Private Equity vertical. In this high-impact role, you will manage a portfolio of named accounts, including top-tier Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies. This is more than a sales role, it's a strategic leadership opportunity to position Catalant as a mission-critical partner in enabling transformation across investment lifecycles. You’ll work directly with Deal Partners, Operating Partners, and C-suite executives to shape and deliver customized consulting solutions that accelerate value creation. With full ownership of your book of business, you'll be involved from end-to-end client engagements to ensure the project is going smoothly, sell follow on work, and expand the client relationship. This role is ideal for a seasoned sales or client development professional who deeply understands the Private Equity ecosystem and thrives in complex, high-stakes environments.

• Enterprise Relationship Builder: Proven ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels, (but especially senior leadership) with a consultative, value-first approach.
• Commercially Savvy: You’ve built and managed a multi-million-dollar book of business, with a track record of growing strategic accounts and closing complex deals.
• Communications Pro: Exceptional communicator with strong executive presence, able to craft and deliver compelling narratives in person, virtually, and in writing.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Thrive in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment. You’re self-motivated, adaptable, and passionate about helping clients succeed.

Responsibilities

• Act as a Strategic Advisor: Serve as a trusted partner to senior leaders at Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies, understanding their unique investment theses, value creation plans, and operational priorities.
• Drive Executive Engagement: Cultivate strong relationships with key stakeholders including Deal Partners, Operating Partners, and C-level executives across functions such as Strategy, Operations, Technology, and Procurement.
• Design High-Impact Solutions: Build tailored consulting and expert talent solutions that address the most pressing challenges facing PE clients and portcos — from diligence to post-acquisition transformation.
• Own the Full Sales Cycle: Lead all phases of the engagement, from proactive opportunity identification and consultative selling to negotiation, onboarding, and expansion.
• Leverage Deep Internal Expertise: Collaborate closely with Catalant’s expert network and internal teams to ensure clients receive best-in-class talent, thought partnership, and outcomes.
