You will work with customers to lead deep technical architecture discussions and engage with senior customer executives, enterprise architects, platform engineers and developers. You will collaborate with a variety of internal and external teams to develop pilots and oversee implementation projects, ensuring technical blockers are removed on adoption.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

  • Articulate the business value of proposed solutions, plans, and risks to stakeholders and decision makers, persuading and informing based on factual alignment with organizational goals and strategy.
  • Establish trusted advisor relationships with stakeholders by understanding customer needs and technologies, fostering deep engagement with both technical and business decision makers.
  • Demonstrate situational fluency by interpreting verbal and non-verbal cues to effectively “read the room.”
  • Practice insightful listening by asking probing questions to uncover customer needs, issues, business environment, and drivers, going beyond stated requirements.
  • Bring enterprise-scale technical experience in cloud and hybrid infrastructures, architecture design, migrations, and technology management.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
