About the Role
Accenture LearnVantage is seeking an experienced federal sales professional to drive growth across Federal Civilian and Department of Defense accounts. This role involves selling learning, training, workforce development, and technology skilling solutions, leveraging partnerships with Accenture Federal Services and federal channel partners, as well as direct selling efforts.
Responsibilities
- Grow LearnVantage business across Federal Civilian and Department of Defense accounts through partnership with Accenture Federal Services, engagement with federal channel partners, and direct LearnVantage-led selling.
- Develop and manage relationships with federal channel partners and aggregators to expand market reach, access contract vehicles, and transact LearnVantage solutions efficiently.
- Build and own a qualified federal pipeline through self-generated business development including prospecting, industry engagement, events, contract-vehicle activity, and referrals alongside partner- and channel-sourced opportunities.
- Partner with AFS account teams to position LearnVantage within broader mission modernization, AI, cloud, cyber, and workforce transformation initiatives.
- Pursue direct LearnVantage-led federal opportunities where scope, threshold, buying path, or client need supports a motion outside an AFS-led engagement.
- Engage federal training leaders, workforce development stakeholders, mission owners, technical leaders, contracting personnel, and executive sponsors to understand priorities, funding realities, and desired outcomes.
- Translate agency workforce gaps into practical learning and skilling solutions: instructor-led programs, certification pathways, digital learning, role-based skilling, and custom engagements.
- Partner with LearnVantage solution architecture, delivery, curriculum, and product teams to shape credible, deliverable solutions and strong client outcomes.
- Own qualification, forecasting, pipeline management, and CRM discipline, and lead responses to federal RFIs, RFPs, and task orders in coordination with internal and AFS teams.
- Bring federal market intelligence (competitor moves, buying signals, and client needs) back to LearnVantage leadership to sharpen offerings and go-to-market priorities.

Skills
- Demonstrated ability to self-source pipeline and to sell through partners including prospecting, account planning, event follow-up, referral development, and opportunity qualification.

- Proven relationships and credibility with federal training leaders, program offices, contracting teams, technical leaders, and executive sponsors.
- Consultative selling skills that connect learning investments to mission outcomes and workforce readiness.
- Strong written and verbal communication: proposals, executive briefings, and client presentations.
- Experience selling federal learning or skilling solutions for a digital learning provider, an instructor-led training company, an IT certification provider, or a workforce development firm.
- Knowledge of federal contract vehicles and buying mechanisms including BPA, GWAC, IDIQ, GSA schedules, SEWP, agency training budgets, and small-dollar training purchases.
- Experience selling alongside or partnering with large federal systems integrators, including Accenture Federal Services or comparable organizations.
- Depth in high-demand technical training domains: AI and generative AI, cloud, data, cybersecurity, software engineering, or DevOps.
- Knowledge of major technology vendor learning ecosystems (Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM, SAP, and NVIDIA).
