- Support presales activities including client workshops, bid responses (RFPs, RFIs, RFQs), and technical presentations.
- Collaborate with internal teams and stakeholders to define reusable solution components and accelerators.
- Stay aligned with the Microsoft roadmap for Copilot, AI Studio, Fabric, and Power Platform technologies.
- Guide junior consultants and technical leads, providing mentoring and review support.
- Contribute to internal capability building by sharing knowledge and leading enablement sessions.
Requirements:
- Proven experience in a technical architect, pre-sales, or advanced consulting role.
- Deep understanding of Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Power Platform, and Microsoft Azure services.
- Demonstrated ability to design, build, and present complex Microsoft-based solutions to both technical and business audiences.
- Proven success in at least one major industry (e.g., Financial Services, Public Sector, Retail, Manufacturing, Energy, or Professional Services).
- Experience with licensing and integration strategy around Copilot and supporting Microsoft technologies.
Desirable:
- Knowledge of Microsoft AI Studio, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications.
- Familiarity with Power Automate and broader intelligent automation patterns.
- Experience working in client delivery roles with a strong utilisation rate.
The Person:
- Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
- Analytical and pragmatic problem solver, able to balance technical detail with business outcomes.
