Remote Partner (IT Consulting Firm)

Most consulting firms lose good clients the same way — someone stops asking hard questions, and the relationship quietly turns transactional. This role exists to prevent that from happening. You'd be the person clients call when they want a real answer, not a polished deck, and you'd be doing it entirely from wherever you choose to work. What You're Actually Signing Up For This is a Remote Partner position in IT consulting, and the title carries weight here — you'll shape strategy, own client relationships, and answer for delivery quality across engagements. It pays $110,425 a year and is remote by design, not as a workaround or a pandemic leftover. Applicants from the United States, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, India, and other eligible countries are all welcome to apply; location isn't the filter here. Day to Day, Roughly No two weeks look identical in a role like this, but a few things stay constant: You'll set direction for client engagements and push teams toward outcomes clients actually feel, not just deliverables that check a box Client needs get translated into consulting offerings that hold up months later, not just at kickoff You sit between technical teams and executive stakeholders, making sure nothing gets lost in translation between the two Proposal writing, pitching new business, negotiating contracts — that's part of the job too, not something to delegate away entirely When rollouts get messy (and they will), you coach teams through it instead of just flagging the problem upward Dashboards and workflow data exist for a reason — you're expected to actually act on what they tell you What Gets You in the Door A bachelor's degree is the baseline education requirement for this role. Beyond that, we're really looking at experience: 10 or more years in IT consulting, technology leadership, or something close enough to count A history of running client engagements start to finish — not just the fun parts Comfort managing people across time zones without everything falling through the cracks Some working knowledge of tools like Notion, Jira, and Figma (we're not precious about exact stacks) Good instincts around contract terms, pricing, and knowing when a deal isn't worth taking The willingness to tell a client something they don't want to hear, and still keep the relationship intact afterward What Would Make You Stand Out None of this is required, but it doesn't hurt: A master's degree in business, tech management, or something adjacent Experience actually building a consulting practice, not just working within one that already existed Certifications in agile delivery, project management, or enterprise architecture An existing network you could realistically turn into new business What You Get Out of It Real remote flexibility — we're judging output, not hours online The $110,425 salary mentioned above, positioned for someone operating at this level Actual influence over firm strategy, not just execution of someone else's plan Funding toward leadership development and relevant industry events How Things Run Around Here Naukri Mitra connected you to this opportunity, but once you're in, you're embedded directly with the firm's leadership and delivery teams — mostly over video calls, shared docs, and async updates across time zones that rarely line up neatly. The culture leans toward candor over hierarchy. People are expected to flag problems early instead of sitting on them, own mistakes without turning them into a whole ordeal, and not oversell wins either. Building trust remotely takes more deliberate effort than doing it face-to-face, and the partners who do well here treat that as part of the job rather than a nuisance. Clients who stick around for years, not just one project, tend to feel genuinely advised. That's the bar internally too — relationships that outlast any single engagement. If This Sounds Right Send your resume along with a short note on engagements you've led and the impact you're hoping to have at the partner level. A polished pitch matters less than a clear sense of how you actually think and lead. Candidates who move forward will go through a few rounds covering strategy, leadership style, and real client scenarios — the kind of conversations that tell us more than any resume could. If you've spent years managing inside someone else's framework and you're ready to build your own, this is where that starts.
