Responsibilities

In this role, you will lead the development and execution of a multi-year transformation strategy for a single strategic customer, ensuring they realize the full value of the Microsoft platform. You will help shape long-term cloud, infrastructure, security, resilience, and AI roadmaps while identifying opportunities to modernize operations, accelerate innovation, and drive sustainable business growth. Working across a broad ecosystem of Microsoft specialists, partners, and customer stakeholders, you will orchestrate resources to deliver measurable impact and create a lasting competitive advantage.

You will act as the strategic link between Microsoft and the customer, bringing together executive sponsorship, technical expertise, and business value realization to drive transformation at scale. Success in this role requires the ability to influence across complex organizations, build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, navigate ambiguity, and lead cross-functional teams toward a shared vision.

This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact with one of Microsoft's most important customers while working at the forefront of cloud and AI transformation. You will help define how organizations modernize, innovate securely, and unlock new sources of value through technology, directly contributing to Microsoft's mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
