Success demands leveraging AI-powered solutions, innovation, and resilience at every turn. As Microsoft’s largest customers digitally transform their business and operating models, they look to Microsoft Industry Solutions Delivery (ISD) to help achieve the change successfully and at pace. You will have the opportunity to enhance your program governance skills and experience as you build relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders, supporting some of the most complex and strategic customers across a number of industries, and collaborating with teams located in multiple locations and time zones.

This opportunity will allow you to accelerate your career growth, honing your industry and cloud expertise as well as deepening your contractual and commercial acumen.
