With a clear mandate to modernize data infrastructure, reimagine client and advisor experiences, and unlock new sources of growth through applied intelligence, the firm is evolving from traditional asset management toward a more connected, insight-driven enterprise. As experimentation gives way to scaled adoption, the Client Partner will serve as a strategic advisor—shaping vision, aligning senior stakeholders, and orchestrating multi-disciplinary teams to deliver transformative, AI-powered business outcomes. The Client Partner will act as the CEO of the account – responsible for overall client success, strategic growth, and profitability. You’ll work directly with the Chief AI Officer, C-suite leaders, and innovation teams, leading a global delivery organization of approximately 40 professionals. You will partner with Blend’s Head of Financial Services and with the Delivery Lead for the account. This is a highly visible, board-level engagement with significant growth potential and long-term impact. Key Responsibilities • 1.

Lead renewal and expansion discussions tied to AI initiatives and emerging innovation programs. • 3. Executive Relationship Management Operate as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, connecting Blend360’s capabilities to strategic business priorities. Build and sustain C-level trust through strategic insight, transparent communication, and delivery excellence.
