  • Own accountability for partner and system integrator delivery performance across complex engagements
  • Influence delivery sourcing strategies to optimize GCID participation, cost efficiency, and scale
  • Manage quality, risk, and outcomes across multi-partner delivery landscapes
  • Should be able to lead technical discussions with engineering teams without support from technical team/architects
  • Act as a role model, mentor, and coach for Senior and Principal Project/Program Managers across ISD / GCID
  • Contribute to delivery standards, playbooks, AI delivery patterns, and governance models
  • Support complex pre-sales pursuits by shaping delivery approaches, validating estimates, and assessing risk
  • Identify AI and cloud opportunities in the account
  • Should be able to lead AI workshops with the customer to create impactful usecases to deliver faster value to customer and Microsoft
  • Lead and orchestrated presales to grow the business
  • Embody our culture and values

Requirements:
