Client Director, Financial Services

Join one of the world’s leading professional services and consulting organisations, advising some of Australia’s largest and most complex businesses on the issues shaping their future. With deep expertise spanning strategy, transformation, technology, risk, deals, tax and assurance, the organisation works at the heart of major industry change. Its teams partner with senior executives and Boards to navigate complex challenges, respond to disruption and identify new opportunities for growth.

Our client is a leading skilled services organisation seeking an experienced Client Director to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering its Financial Services growth agenda. This is a highly strategic and commercially focused opportunity for someone who understands how to identify market opportunities, develop go-to-market strategies and, importantly, mobilise a complex organisation to turn those strategies into measurable commercial outcomes.

The role will work closely with the Financial Services Industry Leader and senior directors, acting as a key connector between market opportunity, client need, organisational capability and commercial execution.

As Client Director, you will be responsible for helping define where the organisation should focus its time and investment across the Financial Services market, including areas such as:

- Banking
- Superannuation
- Asset & Wealth Management
- Insurance and related financial services sectors

You will identify emerging market trends and client challenges, assess where the organisation has a differentiated proposition, and determine which opportunities represent the greatest potential for growth.

You will then turn this thinking into an actionable go-to-market plan.

Key responsibilities will include:





- Developing and executing Financial Services go-to-market strategies aligned to broader business objectives.
- Identifying and prioritising new market and client opportunities.
- Translating market issues and client needs into commercial propositions and growth opportunities.
- Developing target-client strategies and supporting account planning across priority markets.
- Owning visibility of industry pipeline, performance and growth initiatives.
- Using commercial data and market intelligence to understand what is working, where opportunities exist and where investment should be redirected.
- Coordinating campaigns, events, thought leadership, client engagement and proposition development to support commercial outcomes.
- Working closely with Marketing to ensure market activity is directly connected to the broader commercial strategy.
- Acting as a central point of coordination across the Financial Services community, ensuring priorities are understood and teams remain aligned.
- Working closely with senior partners and industry leadership to drive strategic initiatives from concept through to execution.

We are looking for a commercially minded professional with experience across go-to-market, client strategy, commercial growth or industry development.

You will ideally bring:

- Experience developing and executing GTM or commercial growth strategies within a complex B2B organisation.




- Strong understanding of how to identify market opportunities and translate them into actionable commercial plans.
- The ability to connect market insight, client needs, proposition development and revenue generation.
- Strong commercial and analytical capability, with confidence working across pipeline, revenue and performance data.
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence senior executives and business leaders.
- A track record of successfully operating in environments where outcomes are achieved through influence rather than direct authority.
- The ability to move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
- Strong communication, presentation and relationship-building skills.
- Experience within professional services, financial services, consulting or another complex B2B environment would be highly regarded.

This is an opportunity to take a highly visible position within a leading professional services organisation and have a genuine influence on how its Financial Services business identifies, prioritises and pursues growth.

For an experienced GTM or commercially focused professional, this is an opportunity to move beyond traditional marketing or strategy and take ownership of how strategy translates into market activity, client engagement and commercial growth.
