Who we are looking for

As part of the Professional Services organization within Mercatus, the primary goal of the Principal Consultant will be ensuring successful Implementation and Configuration Services (“ICS”) to meet customer requirements while promoting customer adoption and providing a channel for the sale of other company Software and Services.  This role is extremely critical as it takes the handoff of a client from a finalized Sales contract to ensuring that customer is effectively on-boarded (a consulting engagement that could last several months).  As a senior hire on this team in high growth phase, this person has the unique opportunity to also support business development efforts heavily throughout the sales process.  As such, the role is equal parts Sales, Client Management, and Operations, and it works closely with every area within the company while gaining a deep understanding of all areas of the business.  The Principal Consultant will be the key interface to customer success and have consistent exposure to large private markets funds and multi-national companies.   The key to this role is delivery – the Principal Consultant will lead the execution to deliver to client goals while being a trusted advisor to the client.  The VP level is responsible for more complex, strategic clients.
