Overview

Microsoft’s SLED (State, Local and Education) ISV (Independent Software Vendor) Account Team Unit (ATU) partners with a nationwide portfolio of strategic software companies whose solutions extend Microsoft’s platform and help public sector and education customers achieve mission-critical outcomes. You will lead a high-impact organization at the intersection of customer transformation, partner innovation, and Microsoft’s AI platform, helping ISVs build, scale, and sell differentiated solutions across the SLED market.

Leveraging a broad, multi-functional team across Microsoft, you will engage senior executives within ISV organizations and align their product, go-to-market, and growth strategies to Microsoft Azure, Data and AI, Security, Copilot, agents, and the broader cloud platform. You will establish a clear vision for the business, translate that vision into disciplined execution, and hold teams accountable for measurable customer, partner, and Microsoft outcomes.

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.
