At Small Medium Enterprises and Channel (SME&C), we are leading a high-growth, AI-powered global sales team—one that is deeply connected to our partners and driven by customer success. By uniting our Small Medium Business, Corporate, Strategy, and Partner teams, we are unlocking the largest customer opportunity, backed by the industry’s most significant investments. Leveraging the power of AI and our extensive partner ecosystem, we are redefining how businesses of all sizes adopt technology to drive growth and innovation. SME&C is more than a sales organization—it’s a culture of innovation, opportunity, and inclusivity. Here, you’ll be part of a diverse, high-performing, and customer-obsessed team where collaboration, connection, and continuous learning fuel everything we do. In this role we are seeking a senior, high-impact sales leader to serve as Microsoft’s dedicated strategic account lead for EQT, one of Europe’s leading private equity firms. This role will take end-to-end accountability for driving net incremental new business growth across EQT’s portfolio companies, with a primary focus on SMB-scale organisations and AI-led workforce solutions. This is a singular-focus role: owning the EQT relationship as a go-to-market engine, shaping joint value propositions, and converting portfolio insight into disproportionate Microsoft growth. Success will be measured by net growth outcomes, not activity.
Job Responsibility:
Own new business sales and net growth across EQT portfolio companies, with clear accountability for incremental revenue generation

Co-create repeatable GTM motions with EQT that can be deployed across portfolio companies
Position Microsoft as a strategic value-creation partner, not just a technology vendor
Lead with Microsoft’s AI workforce solutions as the primary growth lever
Translate AI, productivity, and security capabilities into clear business outcomes for EQT portfolio CEOs and CIOs
Pay and performance will be primarily aligned to AI-driven growth motions
Operate across segments, with approximately 80% focus on SMB-scale businesses
Drive opportunities across the full Microsoft portfolio including Modern Work, Security, Azure, Business Applications, and AI
Orchestrate internal Microsoft teams and partners to deliver seamless execution
Win share in highly competitive environments by positioning Microsoft effectively against key competitors
Build differentiated value propositions that resonate with PE-backed growth agendas
Use insight, speed, and execution excellence to out-compete in fast-moving portfolio environments
Requirements:
Proven experience driving net new business growth in complex, multi-company environments
Strong understanding of SMB growth dynamics and PE-backed business models
Demonstrated success selling cloud, security, productivity, or AI-led solutions
Ability to operate autonomously with clear accountability for outcomes
Executive-level communication and relationship-building skills
Nice to have:
Experience working with private equity firms or portfolio companies
Background in AI-led or digital transformation sales
Experience operating across multiple workloads and solution areas
