It's a client-facing role, split about 50% pre-sales and 50% delivery leadership. In pre-sales you shape solutions on live pursuits, write the technical content of proposals and pitch. In delivery you own the architecture and quality bar, making sure what we sell is what we deliver. Microsoft alliance work runs through both. You'll work closely with our Microsoft Practice Leader, and your pay is tied to growing the practice. Focus Areas Our Microsoft go-to-market rests on three pillars. Azure depth is a requirement for this role. 1. Azure, Fabric and the AI and data layer (priority): Azure, Fabric, Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search and related data services. 2. Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, mostly citizen development and enablement. 3. Copilot and Copilot Studio: agent building and Microsoft 365 Copilot enablement. Key Responsibilities * Pre-sales: lead solution design, write proposals, SOWs and RFP responses, estimate scope and risk, run discovery workshops, and turn repeatable patterns into priced offerings. * Delivery: own architecture from design to production, set quality, governance and security standards, resolve escalations and mentor the team. * Microsoft alliance: build relationships with Microsoft field teams, support co-sell and funded engagements, and represent TQA at Microsoft events.
