**Position Overview**:
You are an advocate and champion of the customer with strong interpersonal, client management and business development skills. Someone with an instinct and desire to put customers and their success first above all things and take ownership of that success. Powered by a customer centric mentality you are a leader, ensuring customers stay the course on a journey to celebrate value, promote their positive experience and ultimately reward us with future investment.

You enjoy working in governance, compliance and risk management domain and tools but you don't feel fulfilled in your current role. You are successful, but still looking for something more which hasn't been defined yet. You want to be part of something bigger, but the right something hasn't found you yet. If you are anything like the talented Client Partners at Diligent then this feeling you have, might be the desire to serve others
- but you are blinded by the limits placed on you in your current role. The Client Partner role is key to Diligent's GTM expansion strategy.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Manage a portfolio of accounts and take action-oriented ownership of the revenue/engagement/success of all assigned accounts. The buck stops with you.

- Partner with your customer to evaluate and understand their GRC vision and objectives and hold Diligent and them accountable to achieving these over time.
- Leverage all of the above to generate and drive to close good-fit expansion business opportunities in your portfolio:
