• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across service lines
• Excellent problem solving, analytical, and interpersonal skills
• Outstanding organizational and time management skills

Your essential job duties will include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Identifying and understanding the “big picture” for client business objectives
• Driving client satisfaction by providing appropriate solutions to resolve client issues
• Building new and maintaining existing client relationships to ensure sustainable business growth of the firm
• Identifying cross-selling opportunities and converting them into closed sales
• Prioritizing multiple engagements while maintaining positive communications with clients and team members about status
• Working within engagement budgets to deliver results to clients
• Identifying out-of-scope work and communicating with supervisors and clients about additional fees

Salary and Benefits:

EAG offers an outstanding opportunity for career growth and development and is committed to a fair and transparent compensation model through establishing base hourly pay at a percentage of demonstrated market value coupled with a bonus program that rewards the meeting of personal, departmental, and company performance goals.
