Job Description
Baker Tilly is seeking a Managing Director, Managed Services Delivery & Experience to help lead and strengthen the client and delivery experience across our Managed Services platform. This role is accountable for creating a more consistent, scalable and differentiated experience across the full client lifecycle, from opportunity and onboarding through steady-state delivery, value realization and expansion.
The Managing Director will partner closely with Managed Services leadership, delivery teams, growth leaders, transitions, operations, technology, AI enablement and offshore teams to ensure clients experience Managed Services as one connected, accountable operating model.
This is a senior leadership role focused on building trust, consistency and operating discipline at scale. The right leader will understand recurring services, client relationship management, delivery governance and the behaviors required to create a high quality client experience across a complex, growing platform.
This leader will not only improve client satisfaction. They will help define what excellent Managed Services delivery looks like, where friction exists, how we improve consistency and how we create a stronger value proposition for clients over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and execution of the Managed Services client experience strategy across onboarding, transition, delivery, governance, service reviews and expansion.
- Define and implement standards for client communication, meeting cadence, executive reporting, escalation management, issue resolution and value realization.
- Partner with delivery leadership to ensure engagements have clear roles and responsibilities, KPIs, SLAs, governance routines and accountability structures.
- Serve as a senior advisor to delivery teams on complex client situations, executive conversations, service quality concerns and relationship risks.
- Identify common friction points across clients and teams, then translate those insights into scalable operating improvements, playbooks, tools and delivery standards.
- Partner with growth and account leadership to support retention, expansion and differentiated market positioning for Managed Services.
- Work with transitions teams to improve onboarding consistency, accelerate time to value and ensure new engagements are set up for long-term success.
- Collaborate with technology, AI and operations teams to improve workflow visibility, reporting, automation, data quality and client-facing insights.
- Create stronger feedback loops from clients, teams and leadership to improve service quality, client trust and platform performance.
- Help advance a culture of ownership, responsiveness, proactive communication and disciplined execution across Managed Services.
- Support strategic initiatives that improve scalability, margin, client retention, team effectiveness and market differentiation.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The successful candidate will be an experienced executive leader with a strong background in managed services, professional services, client delivery, client success, operations, or transformation. This person should understand how to lead through complexity, influence across functions and build consistency without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
This leader must bring executive presence, strong client judgment, operational discipline, and the ability to connect strategy with day-to-day delivery behaviors. They should be equally comfortable working with senior clients, coaching internal teams, resolving delivery challenges and shaping broader platform improvements.
Leadership Expectations
- Creates clarity and consistency across a growing Managed Services platform.
- Builds trust with clients through discipline, communication and follow-through.
- Raises the standard for delivery behavior, governance and client experience.
- Connects client feedback to practical operating improvements.

- Uses data, technology and AI-enabled tools to improve visibility, consistency and value.

Why This Role Matters
Managed Services is built on long-term client relationships. The strength of those relationships depends not only on the services we provide, but on how clients experience our delivery every day.
This role is central to making that experience more consistent, trusted and differentiated. The Managing Director will help shape the operating standards, client routines, feedback loops and leadership behaviors that allow Managed Services to scale with quality and discipline.
As clients face more complexity, cost pressure, technology change and talent constraints, they need more than execution support. They need an accountable operating partner. This role helps ensure Baker Tilly delivers that promise with clarity, consistency and confidence.
Required Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business required; CPA and/or MBA preferred.
- 15 or more years of experience in managed services, professional services, outsourcing, client success, operations, transformation or technology-enabled delivery.
- Experience leading client experience, delivery governance, service quality or recurring services across a multi-client portfolio.
- Demonstrated ability to work with senior client executives and internal leadership on complex delivery, relationship and value realization matters.
- Strong understanding of onboarding, transitions, service delivery, KPIs, SLAs, escalation management, executive reporting and client retention.
- Experience building scalable operating standards, playbooks, governance models or client journey frameworks.
- Proven ability to influence across delivery, growth, operations, technology, offshore and executive stakeholder groups.
- Experience supporting growth, expansion and account development in a recurring services environment.
- Strong commercial judgment, including understanding of engagement economics, scope management, delivery quality and margin protection.
- Experience with workflow tools, automation, AI-enabled delivery, operational reporting or digital service models preferred.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Managing Consultant
Confirm the role meets specialty occupation standards
Not every consulting title qualifies automatically. The job description must require a degree in a specific field, not just any bachelor's degree. Roles framed around general business skills are harder to sponsor than those tied to finance, engineering, or a defined discipline.
Target firms with an established sponsorship track record
Large strategy and management consulting firms sponsor H-1B visas regularly and have in-house immigration support. Smaller boutique firms may be willing but lack the infrastructure, which can slow the process significantly and increase the risk of errors.
Position your degree field as directly relevant
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree aligns with the consulting role. An MBA, a finance degree, or an engineering background tied to the firm's practice area strengthens the petition considerably. Generic business degrees without specialization face more resistance.
Understand how L-1 sponsorship applies to your situation
If you're transferring from an international office of the same firm, the L-1 intracompany transfer is often faster than H-1B. Managing Consultant roles can qualify under L-1B for specialized knowledge or L-1A if managerial duties are clearly documented.
Ask about sponsorship policy before investing in interviews
Some consulting firms sponsor selectively by practice area or seniority level. Clarifying the firm's policy early, ideally before a case study round, saves significant time and avoids reaching an offer stage where sponsorship turns out not to be available.
Document your specialized expertise clearly in your resume
USCIS approval for consulting roles often hinges on demonstrated specialization. Highlight specific industry verticals, technical methodologies, or proprietary frameworks you work with. Vague descriptions of strategy or problem-solving work against the specialty occupation argument.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Managing Consultant role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, but the job description must establish that the position requires a degree in a specific academic discipline, not just any bachelor's degree. Roles tied to a defined practice area like financial consulting, IT strategy, or engineering advisory are stronger candidates. Generic management consulting descriptions that accept any degree field are more vulnerable to USCIS denial on specialty occupation grounds.
Does my degree field matter for Managing Consultant H-1B petitions?
It matters significantly. USCIS requires a direct relationship between the degree field and the job duties. An MBA with a finance concentration supporting a financial services consulting role is a strong match. A general business degree for a broadly defined consulting role is weaker. If your degree doesn't align perfectly, relevant work experience and professional certifications can help reinforce the petition.
What visa options exist for Managing Consultants beyond the H-1B?
The L-1 visa is a strong alternative if you're transferring from an overseas office of the same firm, either as an L-1B for specialized knowledge or L-1A if you manage people or a function. The O-1A applies if you have documented recognition in your field, such as publications, awards, or a record of leading high-profile engagements. TN visas cover certain consulting roles for Canadian and Mexican nationals under USMCA.
How do I find Managing Consultant jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you can browse Managing Consultant openings without having to guess which firms will sponsor. This is especially useful given that sponsorship willingness varies widely across firm size, practice area, and seniority level, factors that generic job searches don't surface.
Are Managing Consultant roles at risk of H-1B denial, and why?
More so than roles with clearly defined technical degree requirements. USCIS has issued RFEs and denials for consulting titles where the employer couldn't establish that a specific degree, rather than broad business experience, is an industry-standard requirement for the role. The stronger your employer's documentation tying job duties to a defined academic discipline, the lower the denial risk.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Managing Consultant 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.
