Zaelab is a digital consultancy focused on helping B2B organizations transform the way they sell, serve, and operate. We partner with complex manufacturers, distributors, and enterprise brands to solve meaningful business challenges through commerce, CPQ, CRM, and digital transformation.
We work across technologies including ServiceNow, commercetools, SAP, BigCommerce, and other leading platforms. We’re a distributed, fast-moving team that values ownership, collaboration, and people who are comfortable turning complexity into action.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Director, Client Partner to own and grow a portfolio of strategic enterprise clients representing approximately $15–20M in annual revenue .
This is a senior commercial and client leadership role with end-to-end accountability for the health and growth of the portfolio. You’ll own client relationships, revenue and margin performance, forecasting, renewals, and account growth while identifying new opportunities across existing relationships.
You’ll also build and lead the team supporting the portfolio, developing Client Partners and other account leaders while establishing scalable account management practices as Zaelab continues to grow.
This is not a purely executive or oversight role. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to the work — building account plans, shaping opportunities, developing SOWs, navigating difficult client conversations, and partnering directly with delivery and solution leaders.
You’ve likely already operated as a Client Partner, Managing Director, Senior Director, or similar leader within a consultancy, agency, or systems integrator and have personally owned a portfolio of this scale.
What You’ll Own
Client Portfolio & Growth
Own the overall performance of a $15–20M portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts, including revenue, margin, forecasting, renewals, and growth.
Set annual account and portfolio targets and maintain a clear, accurate view of performance against them.
Protect and grow existing client relationships while identifying opportunities to expand Zaelab ’s footprint.
Build pipeline across existing accounts through new SOWs, retainers, change orders, and multi-phase transformation programs.
Identify whitespace within accounts and partner with Sales, Solutions, and Practice leadership to turn opportunities into executable plans.
Develop strong Account Growth Plans for strategic clients and ensure they translate into measurable action.
Client Leadership
Serve as a trusted executive partner to client stakeholders across VP, SVP, and C-suite levels.
Develop a deep understanding of each client’s business, priorities, challenges, and long-term transformation goals.
Build multi-year digital roadmaps that connect technology investments to meaningful business outcomes.
Establish a consistent rhythm of executive engagement, QBRs, and annual planning across the portfolio.
Own client escalations and bring the right people together to resolve issues quickly and constructively.
Navigate challenging conversations around scope, delivery, performance, and commercial expectations while protecting long-term relationships.
Account Strategy
Translate complex client challenges into opportunities where Zaelab can create measurable value.
Connect digital and technology investments to outcomes such as revenue growth, operational efficiency, cost reduction, and improved customer experiences.
Develop compelling business cases and executive-level recommendations.
Bring Zaelab ’s broader capabilities into client conversations, expanding relationships beyond the services or platforms they have historically purchased.
Stay ahead of client priorities and proactively identify where Zaelab can support what comes next.
Team Leadership
Build and lead the team supporting your portfolio, including Client Partners, engagement and delivery leaders, and account operations resources.
Develop Client Partners who own individual accounts, setting clear expectations around account strategy, forecasting, growth, and client health.
Own hiring, staffing, and performance management across the team.
Coach and develop team members while creating repeatable account management practices that can scale with the business.
Build a culture of accountability, transparency, and strong client ownership.
Zaelab Leadership
Partner closely with Delivery, Sales, Solutions, and Practice leadership to align client strategy with execution.
Contribute to Zaelab ’s go-to-market strategy across B2B manufacturing, distribution, and industrial sectors.
Help evolve and scale our Client Services organization, processes, and operating model.
