  • Engage and influence technical decision makers: Build trusted-advisor relationships with customer technical and business leaders by combining deep technical expertise with an understanding of customer priorities, industry context, and digital transformation strategies.
  • Resolve complex technical and business blockers: Anticipate, identify, troubleshoot, and drive resolution of technical and non-technical blockers by orchestrating Microsoft engineering, product, support, sales, and partner resources and escalating appropriately when required.
  • Orchestrate Microsoft and partner ecosystems: Collaborate across Digital Cloud Solution Architects, sales teams, engineering, partners, and other Microsoft resources to deliver integrated solutions, scale technical engagements, and ensure successful deployment and adoption.
  • Provide technical and strategic leadership: Maintain deep technical readiness across Cloud & AI technologies, provide architecture guidance and technical insights to internal teams and customers, share best practices, mentor and enable peers, and contribute expertise to technical communities and one-to-many customer engagements.
  • Manage customer progress and business outcomes: Establish customer timelines, success metrics, and value realization plans; monitor adoption and implementation progress; identify risks and opportunities; and maintain accurate customer progress to support forecasting, pipeline reviews, and achievement of revenue and consumption objectives.

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.
