With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
About the role:
As an Inside Sales Representative, you will support the end-to-end sales process for highly standardized, straightforward cyber security solutions for mid-market clients — from initial needs assessment through deal closure. You will collaborate with Mid-Market Account Success Management to ensure a smooth transition to delivery and client onboarding. This is a digital-first sales role: you will identify and progress sales opportunities through digital and social channels — leveraging LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, AI, and Gen AI tools — while coordinating across Accenture’s marketing channels to create and share points of view, run multi-client campaigns, and keep the commercial pipeline moving with discipline and precision.
Who we are:
Accenture has embarked on one of its most ambitious initiatives — creating a new client segment focused on the Mid-Market (MM) for Cyber Security. This team targets clients with revenues in the range of $300M to $7Bn, spanning two sub-segments: deepening relationships with existing Accenture clients and aggressively pursuing new logos in the market. This is a completely new, high-growth team supported by the full breadth of Accenture’s global capabilities — operating in the fastest-growing segment of the Cyber industry. With thousands of targets to pursue and the ability to offer end-to-end cyber security capabilities that only Accenture can provide, this team works hand-in-hand with Subject Matter Experts, Industry Experts, and Client Group Leads from the Cyber Security practice to win and deliver at scale.
