The posting

This is a hybrid role that requires travel up to 50% to support client engagements and business development activities. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship, as sponsorship is not available for this position.

Avanade’s U.S. Security practice helps clients protect, detect, and respond to evolving cyber threats using the Microsoft security ecosystem. From strategy and Zero Trust architecture to security operations, identity, and data protection, our teams help enterprises transform security so it enables the business as it grows.

Shape enterprise security opportunities where Microsoft technology, client strategy, and measurable business outcomes meet.

As a Microsoft Security Pre-Sales Solution Architect, you will lead early discovery and solution shaping for enterprise clients across Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Purview, Microsoft 365 Security, and security for Copilot and AI agents. You will turn complex security priorities into clear value cases, high-level architectures, proofs of value, and practical next steps that help clients move from idea to decision.

You will work with Avanade, Accenture, Microsoft, and client teams to qualify opportunities, align technical and commercial objectives, and prepare delivery teams for success. This is a client-facing growth role for someone who combines security architecture depth, consultative selling, executive communication, and disciplined follow-through. Together we do what matters.

Key Responsibilities

· Lead client discovery and qualify Microsoft Security opportunities against business outcomes and buying priorities.

· Translate security challenges into value cases, use cases, success measures, and solution roadmaps.

· Shape architectures across Sentinel, Entra, Defender, Purview, Microsoft 365, and AI security.

· Plan and lead assessments, workshops, demonstrations, proofs of value, and proof-of-concept activities.

· Partner with Avanade, Accenture, and Microsoft teams to coordinate pursuits and co-sell motions.

· Define scope boundaries, assumptions, risks, and delivery requirements before opportunities advance.

· Create reusable architectures, estimates, and field insights that improve future pursuits.

Required Experience and Capabilities

  • 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including security architecture, technical pre-sales, consulting, solution architecture, or solution shaping for enterprise clients.
  • 5+ years of client-facing experience working with enterprise customers on security strategy, architecture, solution design, or security transformation.
  • 3+ years of experience leading technical discovery, workshops, and executive-to-technical client conversations, including translating security requirements into business outcomes, success criteria, and actionable next steps.
  • 5+ years of experience with Microsoft Security technologies, with demonstrated architecture or implementation depth in at least two of the following areas: Microsoft Sentinel and security operations, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Purview, Microsoft 365 Security, or security for Copilot, AI, and agents.
  • 3+ years of experience developing client-facing security architecture and solution artifacts, such as architecture diagrams, assessments, roadmaps, business cases, proof-of-value plans, proofs of concept, risk and assumption documentation, and executive recommendations.
  • Demonstrated knowledge across enterprise identity, security operations, data security, cloud security, AI security, governance, compliance, and enterprise integration patterns.
  • 3+ years of technical pre-sales, solution-shaping, or consulting experience requiring commercial judgment around scope, delivery effort, technical risk, business value, and transition from pre-sales activities into implementation.
  • 3+ years of experience working across complex, cross-functional teams, including clients, technology partners, sales teams, architects, and delivery organizations.
  • 5+ years of experience creating and presenting customer-facing technical deliverables, including architecture documentation, recommendations, assessments, presentations, and other decision-support materials.

  • Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert (SC-100) or equivalent demonstrated security architecture experience.
  • One or more relevant Microsoft certifications, including SC-200, SC-300, SC-400, AZ-500, or Microsoft Applied Skills aligned to Sentinel, Entra, Purview, Defender, or AI security.
  • 2+ years of experience supporting Microsoft co-sell, Microsoft partner programs, Partner Center, MCI-funded engagements, ECIF, partner-funded engagements, or similar alliance-funded sales and proof-of-value motions.
  • 2+ years of experience shaping solutions or delivery models across onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams.
  • 2+ years of experience developing repeatable consulting offers, sales plays, propositions, campaign assets, reference architectures, or reusable solution assets.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
