Full Job Description

You Are:

A high-impact Account Executive with proven experience selling into state and local government accounts across agencies, municipalities, public safety, transportation, and health & human services departments. You combine strategic vision with relentless execution, and you are energized by the challenge of navigating government procurement cycles, co-selling alongside Accenture's State & Local practice teams, and positioning LearnVantage as a long-term workforce reinvention partner — not a transactional training vendor. You bring strong commercial instincts, a consultative approach, and the presence to engage senior agency leaders with credibility and conviction. 

The Work:

  • Partner alongside Accenture's State & Local public sector account teams to attach LearnVantage AI, data, cloud, networking, and certification training to large-scale digital government transformation programs. 

  • Engage Client Account Leads (CALs), Managing Directors, and public sector practice leads in account planning to identify and qualify LearnVantage opportunities within active state and local government pursuits. 

  • Identify and develop pipeline from existing Accenture state and local government accounts not yet engaged with LearnVantage. 

  • Prospect, qualify, and develop a self-sourced pipeline in state agencies, municipalities, counties, and special districts with no existing Accenture footprint. 

  • Conduct executive-level discovery and solution presentations with senior government stakeholders (CIO, CHRO, CDO, Agency Directors, Deputy Secretaries). 

  • Close net-new government accounts to meet and exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual bookings targets — navigating procurement vehicles, cooperative purchasing agreements, and state contract mechanisms. 

  • Use AI adoption trends, federal mandates, and state digital transformation initiatives to craft insight-led narratives that resonate with government workforce priorities and agency missions. 

  • Demonstrate ROI through outcome evidence — connecting upskilling investments to workforce capability development, technology adoption rates, and citizen service delivery improvements. 

  • Serve as a feedback loop between government clients and LearnVantage's curriculum, product, and content teams, surfacing emerging public sector skill gaps and mission-critical technology priorities. 

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 50% depending on business need and client requirements. 

Here's What You Need:

  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in business development, account management, sales leadership, or new logo acquisition in a consulting, technology, or professional services environment.

  • Demonstrated track record of originating and closing significant net new business in mid-market or multi-subsidiary environments, preferably $500K+ ARR deals or more

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience) 

Bonus Points If:

  • You have experience navigating and co-selling within large, matrixed organizations alongside a global systems integrator with a state and local government practice. 

  • You have experience in corporate learning, AI and digital skills platforms, IT certification training, or edtech in government or mission-driven contexts. 

  • You are familiar with any LearnVantage solution area — AI/ML (Udacity), advanced wireless and 5G (Award Solutions), or instructor-led IT certification (Ascendient). 

  • You have a public sector, government technology, or civic tech background. 

  • You have a genuine passion for AI and its transformative potential in modernizing the public sector workforce. 

Professional Skills:

  • Excellent communication, executive presence, and the ability to lead compelling presentations and negotiations at the senior government level. 

In addition to base pay, this Sales role is eligible for additional incentive compensation which is based on achievement toward individual sales metrics, subject to Plan terms

Compensation at Accenture varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location, role, skill set, and level of experience. As required by local law, Accenture provides a reasonable range of compensation for roles that may be hired as set forth below.

We anticipate this job posting will be posted until 10/12/2026.

Accenture offers a market competitive suite of benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability coverage, a 401(k) plan, bonus opportunities, paid holidays, and paid time off. See more information on our benefits here:
