    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Introduction

    IBM Consulting has pivoted to go all-in with Microsoft and is quickly becoming one of Microsoft's top global SI partners. IBM have made huge investments in skilling and hiring some of the best Microsoft talent in the market, where we have over 40,000 Microsoft consulting practitioners globally, across Azure Infrastructure, Digital & Application Innovation, Data & AI, Security and Business Applications.

    We are rapidly expanding with over 100% year-on-year growth, and we are continuing to add the best talent we can find to our business. It's a truly exciting time to join IBM's Microsoft Go-to-Market team.

    We operate both across industrial sectors, as well as cross-sector Solution Area technology roles, directly mapping into how Microsoft go to market. We live and breathe Microsoft solutions, with the unique advantage of having a broad eco-system portfolio within the wider IBM business. IBMers get out of bed to improve the world through technology, and Microsoft believe in empowering every individual and business to do more - our partnership and shared values is creating something special.

You will have the opportunity to bring your expertise, passion, and creativity to create fantastic value and success for our portfolio of the world's leading enterprise clients. If you're ready to create and build, within a collaborative and supportive culture, backed by the power of IBM, we can offer you an exceptional opportunity to make a difference, to learn and to grow.

    Your Role and Responsibilities

    The role is a combination of both technical pre-sales and delivery, with an approximate 60/40 split, which will vary based on demand.

    • Lead the internal solution sign-off within the IBM solution release process, ensuring that our solution teams have created the optimal winning solution that can be confidently executed by our delivery teams.
    • Lead the presentation of solutions to our client C-suite and senior buyers - articulating technical, requirements mapping, business value and client obligations.
    • Collaborate with our global Microsoft campaigns and offerings teams to develop, distil, and enable with your region. Lead or oversee large-scale and complex deal cycles with our largest enterprise accounts.
    • Take an active role in monitoring and driving our Microsoft opportunity pipeline
