- Champion responsible, practical AI adoption in pursuit narratives, coordinating with AI and risk leaders as needed
- Maintain strong executive altitude in client conversations (Board/C-suite), aligning Advisory pursuits to growth, risk, profitability, and performance priorities
Pursuit Leadership & Win Strategy
- Identify winning strategies by deeply understanding client needs; coach pursuit teams through qualification, solutioning, pricing, and closing

- Cultivate relationships across executive networks, industry forums, and alliances to build GT relevance
- In partnership with marketing, activate events, campaigns, and thought leadership to build pipeline
Solution Specific Duties
- Identify opportunities tied to regulatory complexity, cybersecurity risk, privacy, internal controls, compliance remediation, and forensic response
- Position integrated Cyber & Risk solutions that improve governance, strengthen resilience, and reduce exposure
- Partner with solution leaders across Cyber & Privacy, Regulatory Compliance & AML, Internal Audit & SOX, and Forensics to shape differentiated pursuit narratives
You Have the Following Technical Skills and Qualifications:

- Proven ability to translate complex capabilities into clear value propositions and scalable pursuit narratives; comfort operating at the intersection of strategy and go-to-market
- Working knowledge of modern Advisory domains (e.g., CFO Advisory, Business Consulting, Risk Advisory, Technology Modernization, Transactions, AI, Outsourcing)
- Experience selling and structuring multi-year programs (including managed services / outsourcing / shared services models) preferred
- Direct experience in professional services firms, with working knowledge of how partner-led, client-service organizations operate
- Advanced communication and presentation skills (executive-level decks, whiteboarding, facilitating decision sessions)
- Experience in risk consulting, cyber/privacy, compliance, internal audit / controls, or governance-related solution selling
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience required; MBA or other advanced degree preferred.
- Travel up to ~25%, variable by portfolio
The total compensation package for this role includes base salary and bonus. The base salary range for this position is between $190,000 and $300,000. Placement within the pay range is at Grant Thornton’s discretion, and it is based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, job-related knowledge/skills, experience, business needs, progression within the role, geographic location, and internal equity.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Client Relationship Executive Jobs
Confirm the degree requirement is explicit
Sponsorship depends on the role qualifying as a specialty occupation. Make sure the job posting states a bachelor's degree in a specific field is required, not just preferred. 'Preferred' language can disqualify the petition.
Target industries with established sponsorship history
Financial services, enterprise SaaS, and management consulting firms sponsor Client Relationship Executives most consistently. These industries have structured HR teams familiar with LCA filings and USCIS petition requirements for client-facing roles.
Align your degree field to the role's core function
A degree in business administration, marketing, communications, or finance supports the specialty occupation argument most directly. If your degree is in an unrelated field, document how your coursework applies to client relationship management.
Ask about sponsorship before the final interview round
Raise the sponsorship question after an initial positive signal, not in the first call. Framing it as a straightforward process with a clear timeline helps employers who are unfamiliar with the mechanics feel confident moving forward.
Understand the LCA comes before your visa application
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and receive certification before submitting your H-1B or E-3 petition. Build this step into your expected timeline so you're not caught off guard by the sequence.
Browse roles on Migrate Mate to filter by sponsorship willingness
Not every Client Relationship Executive posting will lead to a sponsorship conversation. Migrate Mate surfaces roles where employers have indicated openness to visa sponsorship, reducing time spent on applications unlikely to move forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Client Relationship Executive role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B sponsorship?
It can, but it depends on how the employer structures the position. USCIS requires that the role normally requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Client Relationship Executive roles tied to financial services, enterprise software, or technical consulting, where a business or finance degree is a genuine requirement, have a stronger case than broad sales roles where any background is accepted.
Which visa types are most relevant for Client Relationship Executives seeking sponsorship?
The H-1B visa is the most common path and applies to all nationalities, though the annual lottery limits access. Australian citizens should prioritize the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and is significantly easier to obtain. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under the TN visa for certain business-related categories. All three require the role to meet specialty occupation criteria.
What degree do I need to get sponsored as a Client Relationship Executive?
A bachelor's degree in business administration, marketing, finance, or communications is the strongest foundation. If your degree is in an adjacent field, you'll need to demonstrate how it applies directly to client relationship management. USCIS also allows three years of relevant professional experience to substitute for one year of formal education, which can help if your degree doesn't align precisely.
How likely is it that employers will sponsor a Client Relationship Executive for a visa?
Sponsorship is more common at mid-to-large companies in financial services, SaaS, and consulting, where international hiring is routine and HR teams understand the process. Smaller firms or startups may be open but unfamiliar with the requirements. Targeting employers with a documented history of LCA filings for similar roles improves your odds considerably. Migrate Mate lists roles from employers who have signaled sponsorship willingness.
Can I switch to a Client Relationship Executive role while already on an H-1B?
Yes, but your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before you start. The role's duties must still qualify as a specialty occupation under your new employer's specific job description. If the new position is broader or less degree-specific than your current one, USCIS may scrutinize the petition more closely. It's worth having an immigration attorney review the offer before giving notice.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Client Relationship Executive jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
