Director Professional Services Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Location: Reston, VA or Chicago, IL

At Brightspot, we help content-driven organizations turn content chaos into momentum. Our flexible, AI-powered content management platform (CMS) enables teams to move faster, collaborate more effectively, and scale with confidence. Since 2008, leading enterprises have partnered with Brightspot to transform fragmented ecosystems into streamlined, high-performing operations that drive growth, strengthen governance, and deliver real business impact.

We are seeking a highly motivated and seasoned Senior Director, Professional Services Consulting to be the driving force behind operational consistency and cohesive strategy within our customer engagement and delivery organization. Reporting directly to executive leadership, you will play a critical, cross-functional role, ensuring alignment, transparency, and excellence across all services delivery and revenue-generating initiatives.

In this role, you will partner with our Strategic Account and Professional Services Leadership teams to standardize how we engage with prospects and manage existing customers. You will proactively identify opportunities for customers that can provide tangible ROI and move their business forward. This will explicitly include Agentic solutions. You will serve as a senior advisor in the room—helping to sell the vision, structure the engagement, and ensure rigorous transparency once the project begins.

This role is the operational engine that translates strategic vision into predictable, high-quality execution, ultimately professionalizing our interactions with both customers and prospects. This is a unique hybrid role—part Strategic Operator, part Solution Consultant, part Market Maker to the Delivery/Revenue orgs. Successful candidates will be highly polished, articulate, and able to bridge the gap between "what we sell" and "what we deliver."

• Ideation & Agentic Solution Consulting: Partner with Revenue leadership to drive the "selling of services." You will run whiteboarding sessions, brainstorming workshops, and strategy meetings with our most high-value prospects. Agent-to-Agent solutions should be at the forefront of discussions. 
• Deal & Delivery Intelligence: Own the "Health of the Business" reporting. You will publish active deal lists and project status reports, ensuring no information silos exist between Sales and Services.
• Executive Storytelling: Build and present professional decks for external stakeholders, translating technical delivery details into executive-level value propositions.
• Process Professionalization: Drive consistency in how we scope, present, and report on work. You will help ensure that promises made during the sales cycle are clearly communicated to the delivery teams.
