Our love for innovation, technology and doing meaningful work is at the heart of everything we do at Microsoft. It is a shared passion that inspires our team, our partners and customers to think bigger. Organisations across the New Zealand government sector are now more than ever, under increasing pressure to modernise critical systems, strengthen cyber resilience, protect sensitive information, and enable secure collaboration across agencies and jurisdictions. They are seeking to use cloud, data and artificial intelligence to improve engagement with citizens, accelerate decision-making, enhance operational readiness, and support frontline personnel in complex and rapidly evolving environments. As the Account Technology Strategist, you are a key member of the government account team and you help customers across the sector shape strategies to address these opportunities and challenges by leveraging Microsoft’s technologies, resources and ecosystem.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about supporting mission-critical government organisations and thrives working with senior business leaders, operational stakeholders and technical teams alike, while applying strong industry, business and technical acumen. As a Microsoft team member your daily actions will contribute to our inclusive culture. Through this welcoming environment, you will enable your extended technical team to bring their most innovative solutions to client challenges.
