The posting

Overview

Lead a high-performance team of senior sellers driving Azure and AI business growth across Oil, Gas and Energy industry Strategic accounts. Own disciplined account execution, pipeline and forecasts, revenue and consumption growth and production adoption. Build executive partnerships that deliver customer business value while developing experienced sellers through a model, coach, and care culture.

Responsibilities

Field Enablement

Direct readiness planning for senior cloud sellers in Oil, Gas and Energy Region Strategic accounts, linking learning to Azure and AI account execution. Validate opportunities to strengthen industry fluency, executive engagement, commercial judgment, and progression from qualification to production adoption.

Lead regional strategies that deepen understanding of the Azure and AI portfolio and its relevance to customer transformation priorities. Coach experienced sellers to share proven architectures, sales materials, competitive insights, and account practices with colleagues and partners, and apply that learning to improve pipeline quality, revenue and consumption growth, and customer outcomes.

Intellectual Property Creation & Scaling

Oversee proposals, solution patterns, whitepapers, blogs, and marketing content that advance Azure and AI sales in strategic energy accounts. Guide senior sellers in codifying competitive insights, monetization approaches, and successful account practices into reusable guidance for sales teams and partners, adapted to customer operating contexts.

Coach sellers to build credible return on investment (ROI) frameworks, business value narratives, and commercial positioning. Potential priorities include operational reliability, asset performance, workforce productivity, and emissions management. Validate Azure and AI business cases with customers, distinguish expected benefits from demonstrated results, and refine assets using feedback from wins, losses, and adoption.

Empower senior sellers to present these insights at customer briefings, road shows, conferences, and innovation events, reinforcing Microsoft’s role as a transformation partner. Connect thought leadership to executive relationships, qualified opportunities, and scalable customer value rather than content creation alone.

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.
