About the Team

UKG's Strategic Positioning and Pursuits team helps UKG win high-value opportunities by creating differentiated, personalized, and memorable selling experiences for executive decision makers. We turn complex business and product stories into customer experiences that build trust, create connection, and move decisions forward. We bring together customer insight, business priorities, product expertise, industry context, and creative craft to help sellers make UKG's value clear and memorable.

Our work starts with understanding the problem behind the request. We then shape the right way to bring the story to life, whether through an executive narrative, a visual framework, a demonstration, or another experience built for the moment. We partner across UKG to help decision makers see how our values and solutions can make a difference for their organizations.

Every interaction is an opportunity to build trust, deepen connection, and drive growth. We help make those moments count, one conversation and one customer experience at a time.

About the Role

As a Strategic Pursuit Consultant at UKG, you'll serve as a trusted partner to Sales and Pre-Sales teams, helping shape how UKG engages customers in complex, high-value opportunities. You'll combine strong business judgment, customer insight, messaging expertise, and creative problem solving to make UKG's value relevant and memorable for decision makers.

You'll partner with sellers and cross-functional experts to understand customer priorities, identify what matters most to stakeholders, and develop a distinctive approach to communicating UKG's value. That approach may include an executive narrative, visual storytelling, a demonstration, an interactive experience, or a combination of formats.

You'll help teams move beyond the initial request, make complex solutions easier to understand, and create customer experiences that are thoughtful, credible, and distinctly UKG. You'll also bring customer and field insights back to the Strategic Messaging team to strengthen our content and ways of working.
