  • Ensure compliance with Microsoft policies and applicable laws and regulations across EMEA
  • Support enterprise revenue objectives by enabling the sale and consumption of Microsoft Cloud and AI solutions through efficient, customer-focused contracting across EMEA’s diverse markets
  • Operational Excellence, Process Improvement & AI Adoption: Apply systems thinking to improve end-to-end deal processes across EMEA
  • Advance adoption of AI-enabled contracting, knowledge, and workflow tools to streamline negotiations, automate low-impact work, and increase consistency in drafting and issue-spotting
  • Establish feedback loops and knowledge-sharing to scale best practices across EMEA and inform global standards
  • Collaborate with Global Deal Team regional leads in the Americas and Asia to align priorities, calibrate positions, and scale reusable solutions

Requirements
