• 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.
