About Davanti

Change is constant. Staying ahead takes more than technology. At Davanti, we help organisations solve bigger problems than technology alone can fix. We combine strategic thinking, human-centred design, AI innovation and technology delivery to help organisations navigate change with clarity and confidence — from shaping transformation strategies and designing better customer and employee experiences, to implementing enterprise platforms and building long-term capability.

Our approach is simple: Think Ahead. Design Ahead. Build Ahead. Stay Ahead. Meaningful transformation doesn't begin with technology — it begins with understanding the problem behind the problem.

With more than 140 specialists across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, we're trusted by public and private sector organisations to deliver practical outcomes, not just presentations. We maintain strong partnerships with leading technology providers including Salesforce, giving clients access to world-class platforms backed by local consulting expertise. Technology enables change. People create it. We're here to help organisations stay ahead.

Role Purpose The Senior Client Partner is responsible for driving new business growth for Davanti Australia, with a primary focus on originating and closing new logo opportunities and building long-term client success. Operating as both "hunter and farmer," you will generate, build, shape, and convert a high-value pipeline, targeting organisations and unlocking strategic opportunities aligned to Davanti Australia's capabilities and the Salesforce ecosystem.

You will align closely with key stakeholders at Salesforce (Directors, Account Executives, Partnerships and Alliances) to identify and pursue opportunities. Leveraging these relationships, you will position Davanti Australia as the partner of choice aligned to key Salesforce-led programs and initiatives.

As a key member of Davanti Australia's Senior Leadership Team, you will bring a strong external market lens, influencing go-to-market priorities, industry plays, and joint propositions with Salesforce. You will actively shape and execute account entry strategies, build executive-level relationships, and lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales pursuits from inception to close.

With deep expertise in digital transformation, you will lead consultative, insight-driven sales engagements that connect business ambition to customer experience, data, and technology outcomes.



You will mobilise cross-functional Davanti teams to craft differentiated, Salesforce-aligned solutions, develop compelling transformation roadmaps, and articulate clear commercial value to C-suite buyers.
