Step into a role where your ideas spark innovation and your impact is felt every day. You will join the Enterprise Commercial - Commercial Executive Group, partnering with enterprise customers to bring relevant technology solutions to their organizations.

  • Anticipate commercial, contractual, compliance, and execution risks in strategic deals, develop mitigation approaches, and guide internal stakeholders toward timely decisions and successful deal closure.
  • Assess commercial, contractual, revenue, and profitability considerations while ensuring adherence to Microsoft policies, compliance requirements, approval frameworks, and applicable business standards.
  • Drive strategic product and cloud opportunities as part of the overall commercial relationship, including renewals and opportunities across Azure consumption commitments, Microsoft 365, Copilot, Security, and new commerce models, where relevant to the customer strategy.

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.
