Are you a highly strategic thinker with deep emotional intelligence who excels at turning complex organizational concepts into trusted, long-term relationships? Randstad Professional is currently seeking an exceptional full-time Strategic Partnerships Manager to join the elite team of one of our most innovative clients. Our client is a pioneering advisory firm operating across Canada that specializes in highly sophisticated, high-impact corporate succession planning, organizational transition strategies, and modern wealth-democratization business models. In this unique permanent position, you will step completely away from traditional, high-pressure 'hard sales' environments or aggressive closing metrics. Instead, you will act as a consultative Strategic Partnerships Manager and educational thought leader. Your primary objective will be navigating the critical top of the funnel by identifying mid-market business owners, educating them on specialized corporate transition pathways, and constructing sustainable referral networks with professional channels—such as commercial banks, law firms, accounting practices, and financial advisors. This role is offered on a hybrid basis, requiring a minimum of one day per week in the Vancouver office, alongside dynamic travel opportunities to represent the firm at nationwide industry conferences.

A minimum of 7 to 10 years of progressive experience in market development, corporate consultative sales, relationship management, or elite professional services

Documented experience interacting directly with mid-market business owners, founders, or C-suite executives on highly confidential or high-stakes matters
Previous experience working successfully inside agile, fast-paced startup environments or highly entrepreneurial, non-hierarchical corporate structures
Strong baseline or a demonstrated intellectual capacity to rapidly learn, retain, and apply complex regulatory advisory frameworks and financial principles
