Account Manager – Talent & Solutions

Heitmeyer is building a different kind of partner for banks, credit unions, and financial institutions one that blends embedded talent with outcome-driven consulting solutions.

As an Account Manager, you’ll own a portfolio of financial services clients and be responsible for growing revenue across both sides of our business:

• Embedded Talent – high-caliber consultants integrated into client teams
• Solutions & Consulting – defined initiatives, projects, and transformation work

This is not a transactional staffing role. You are the strategic driver of the account: understanding how clients prioritize work, fund initiatives, and decide when to bring in external partners — then positioning Heitmeyer to be their first call.

• Own a portfolio of financial services accounts (banks, credit unions, fintechs, insurers) with clear growth targets.
• Build and maintain executive-level and director-level relationships across technology, operations, product, and business lines.
• Develop account plans that identify growth opportunities for both embedded talent and solutions.
• Proactively build and manage a full sales pipeline: target lists, outreach campaigns, referrals, and warm paths.
• Qualify and shape opportunities around client priorities, funding cycles, and constraints (budget, headcount, risk).
• Partner with recruiting and practice leaders to align demand, capacity, and delivery feasibility.

• Lead conversations that start with business outcomes, not resumes or rate cards.
• Diagnose client problems, quantify value, and co-create compelling solution options (talent, solutions, or hybrid).
• Challenge legacy thinking including “just send me resumes” staffing behavior and bloated, misaligned consulting models.
• Clearly articulate the trade-offs between staffing, embedded expertise, and structured consulting and guide clients to the best fit.
• Navigate complex stakeholder maps: decision makers, influencers, blockers, procurement, and partners.
• Run disciplined sales cycles: discovery, alignment, proposal, business case, objection handling, and close.
• Collaborate with Heitmeyer practice leads to shape proposals, SOWs, and solution narratives that resonate with executives.
• Understand how clients use core vendors, SIs, fintech partners, and internal teams and where Heitmeyer should plug in.
• Position Heitmeyer as a complement, not a commodity: filling gaps in execution, capacity, or expertise.

• 5–10+ years in account management, sales, or client leadership roles in financial services (banking, credit union, fintech, or insurance).
• Proven track record selling staffing/consulting/solutions into CIO, CTO, COO, CDO, or line-of-business leaders.
