Working closely with Development Advisory leadership and other professionals across the firm, this individual will connect client needs with Baker Tilly’s capabilities and help create meaningful, long-term client relationships.

This position is designed as a focused producer role. The primary emphasis is on business development and revenue generation rather than people leadership or day-to-day practice management. The role will partner closely with engagement and practice leaders who will lead delivery and execution once opportunities are originated.

• Work collaboratively with practice leaders and subject matter professionals to develop solutions, proposals, scopes, and approaches responsive to client needs.
• Facilitate effective transition of originated opportunities to the appropriate engagement and delivery leaders.
• Remain engaged with key client relationships, as appropriate, to support relationship continuity, identify additional needs, and help expand the account.
• Collaborate with engagement teams to ensure client expectations established during the business development process are effectively communicated.

Market Presence & Relationship Development

• Serve as a senior ambassador for Baker Tilly and the Energy & Infrastructure practice in the marketplace.
• Maintain an active presence within relevant industry, business, and professional networks.
• Represent Baker Tilly at conferences, industry events, client meetings, and other relationship-building opportunities.
• Monitor market trends and emerging client needs to identify potential areas of opportunity for the practice.
• Help strengthen Baker Tilly’s market visibility and reputation through relationships, industry participation, and targeted business development activities.

Firm Collaboration

• Collaborate across Development Advisory and other Baker Tilly service lines to identify cross-service opportunities and bring the full capabilities of the firm to clients.
• Develop strong internal relationships with partners, principals, managing directors, and other leaders who can support opportunity development and client delivery.
• Share market intelligence, prospective opportunities, and relationship insights with practice leadership.
• Support a collaborative approach to account development and growth across the firm.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in energy and infrastructure related field; advanced degree or relevant professional credentials preferred.
• Significant senior-level experience within project development, financial advisory, consulting, or a related professional services environment.
• Demonstrated track record of business development, client origination, and revenue generation.
