• Position GP Strategies' services and solutions as strategic enablers of business transformation and performance improvement.
• Develop compelling proposals, presentations, and value propositions tailored to client needs.
• Collaborate with internal solution leaders, account teams, and delivery organizations to design winning solutions.
• Manage long sales cycles involving multiple decision-makers, influencers, and buying groups.
• Maintain an accurate pipeline and provide forecasting updates to leadership.
• Expand existing relationships through cross-selling and identification of new growth opportunities.
• Stay informed on industry trends, market conditions, and competitive activity.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Proven success selling complex solutions into large enterprise organizations.
• Experience supporting clients in Manufacturing, Energy, Power, Automotive, or other industrial sectors.
• Strong track record managing multi-stakeholder sales cycles and executive-level relationships.
• Consultative selling approach focused on solving business challenges and delivering measurable outcomes.
• Comfortable engaging with C-suite leaders, operational stakeholders, and technical teams.
• Commercially minded with a passion for growing accounts and creating long-term client partnerships.
• Curious by nature and willing to spend time in operational environments to understand client needs firsthand.
• Ability to influence and lead cross-functional teams in a matrixed environment.
• Exceptional communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience selling learning, talent, workforce transformation, consulting, professional services, or related solutions preferred.

Why This Role Matters

Your ability to identify opportunities, build trust with senior leaders, and deliver meaningful solutions will directly impact client success and GP Strategies' continued growth. You'll have the opportunity to work with some of the world's leading organizations while helping them solve critical business, talent, and performance challenges.
