CCS provides tailored support to more than 700 nonprofit organizations annually. Headquartered in New York, the firm has over 600 professionals and 18 offices throughout the United States and Europe. Our people are our greatest strength. At CCS, you will join a diverse team of smart, passionate, and resourceful professionals who are driven by purpose and committed to performance.

UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE
The Consultant, Client Partnerships will work with the Vice President, Client Partnerships, and our Engagement Managers and Sales Executives on a team led by a CCS Partner as we collaboratively launch partnerships with nonprofits. You will have direct access to leaders in the field and expert training, expanding your opportunities to learn and building your network for future success.

This role will focus on ensuring clients have a quality experience with CCS during the onboarding of their engagement. As the initial weeks of our work are vital for establishing trust, we rely on the Client Partnerships team to provide a confident, friendly, professional environment to set the project up for success. After streamlining our client partners’ experience by managing the onboarding of new engagements, you will provide a smooth handoff to the CCS director as they join the project team.

You will remotely support the pre-implementation phase of projects with nonprofits of all sectors and sizes across the Atlantic region (PA to FL). Most commonly, you will onboard Campaign Planning Studies and Development Assessments.

The successful candidate will have excellent multi-tasking skills and manage a portfolio of ~4-6 client projects concurrently. The candidate will join a team of high-performing professionals that specialize in:

This is a client-facing role with significant responsibilities for relationship building, setting a standard for professional excellence, and producing bespoke client/constituent engagement tools and deliverables. Ideal candidates will possess excellent writing, communication, client and project management, and multi-tasking skills. The candidate is also comfortable partnering with multiple executives, capable of meeting set deadlines, and prioritizing tasks in a fast-paced corporate environment. It is critical to have a client services mindset and a strategic focus on project management and discipline in crafting a work plan tailored for the realities of the client team and project needs.

As you build fluency in the onboarding process and deepen your relationships across the CCS team, you will have the opportunity to expand your scope within the Client Partnerships function. High-performing team members are encouraged to take on a portfolio of part-time project responsibilities alongside their onboarding work, supporting 2-3 active engagements at a time as a lead director, while balancing onboarding engagements for our most complex and high-touch clients.

This evolution reflects the broader arc of the role: from building the foundation of strong client partnerships to sustaining and deepening them. For the right candidate, it is a meaningful pathway to broader project ownership, increased client exposure, and long-term career growth within CCS.

CCS offers competitive benefits, a dynamic training program, resources, career advancement, mentoring, and networking opportunities. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and strongly encourage a diverse pool of candidates to apply.
