Accenture LearnVantage is the workforce reinvention platform of Accenture, combining the strengths of LearnVantage, Award Solutions, and Ascendient Learning to deliver AI-native digital learning, advanced wireless and 5G training, and instructor-led IT certification at enterprise scale. We partner with institutions of higher education to modernize curricula, retrain faculty, and prepare students for an AI-driven economy — and we are looking for exceptional sales leaders to build and grow our academic institution partnerships.
A high-impact Account Executive with deep experience selling into higher education institutions — from research universities and four-year colleges to community college systems and state consortia. You combine strategic vision with relentless execution, and you are energized by the challenge of navigating complex, multi-stakeholder academic procurement processes and positioning LearnVantage as a trusted partner in institutional AI readiness. You bring strong commercial instincts, a consultative approach, and the presence to engage Provosts, Deans, CIOs, and VPs of Academic Affairs with credibility and conviction.
Prospect, qualify, and develop a self-sourced pipeline across universities, four-year colleges, and community colleges with no prior LearnVantage relationship.
Conduct discovery and solution presentations with academic leadership stakeholders — Provosts, Deans, CIOs, Vice Presidents of Academic Affairs, Directors of Workforce Development, and CFOs.
Close new academic accounts and partnerships to meet and exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual bookings targets.
Identify and engage multi-campus university systems, statewide community college systems, and academic consortia where a single LearnVantage agreement can scale across dozens of institutions.
Partner with Accenture's Higher Education and Public Service account teams to attach LearnVantage workforce and curriculum solutions to broader transformation engagements.
Match the right portfolio solution to each institution's goals — LearnVantage AI programs for student-facing AI pathways, Award Solutions for applied technology programs, or Ascendient Learning for faculty upskilling and IT staff certification.
Identify and pursue grant-funded and government-subsidized workforce training opportunities including Perkins Act funding, WIOA grants, and state workforce development funds.
Demonstrate ROI in academic terms — connecting LearnVantage programs to student job placement rates, employer satisfaction, faculty teaching effectiveness, and institutional accreditation outcomes.
Serve as a feedback loop between academic clients and LearnVantage's curriculum, product, and content teams, surfacing emerging institutional skill gaps and student workforce readiness needs.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 50% depending on business need and client requirements.
