  • Manage LearnVantage pipeline across all assigned Accenture accounts with disciplined CRM hygiene, accurate forecasting, and regular visibility for both LearnVantage and Accenture leadership.

  • Serve as the voice of the client and the Client Account Lead (CAL) back to LearnVantage's product, curriculum, and go-to-market teams, surfacing emerging skill gaps, deal structure needs, and market opportunities.
  • Travel to client sites and Accenture offices as required to support strategic account pursuits.

  • Experience selling corporate learning, AI and digital skills platforms, managed learning services, IT certification training, or workforce technology into large enterprise accounts.
  • Familiarity with any LearnVantage solution area — AI/ML (Udacity), advanced wireless and 5G (Award Solutions), or instructor-led IT certification (Ascendient Learning).
  • Experience building and scaling a co-sell motion within a large partner or alliance ecosystem.
