Additionally, you will lead the resolution of challenges related to adoption, business, and client relationships, proactively problem-solving, escalating issues when necessary, and acting as a client advocate within the Wave team and the broader firm. You will deliver thought leadership by deeply understanding client needs and staying informed about industry trends and competitor offerings.
