I’m partnered with a fast-growing Data, Cloud & AI consultancy trusted by FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 organisations to transform how they harness data, Microsoft Azure, and AI at scale. With an enviable client base across Financial Services, Healthcare, Energy, Retail and Manufacturing, they are now hiring a Global Microsoft Practice Director to lead and scale their Microsoft business worldwide.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a career-defining leadership role where you’ll:

• Architect and scale a global Microsoft practice for a consultancy already shaping enterprise digital strategy at boardroom level.
• Partner directly with Microsoft’s global and regional leadership to drive co-sell growth, marketplace adoption, and industry solution launches.
• Build and commercialise repeatable, IP-led solutions (Copilot extensions, Azure AI accelerators, Fabric frameworks) deployed across industries worldwide.
• Deliver impact at scale — from enterprise GenAI adoption in Financial Services to predictive maintenance AI in manufacturing.
• Drive measurable growth, with double-digit revenue increases, co-sell wins in Partner Centre, and defensible IP monetisation.

Success Will Be Measured By

• Growth in Microsoft-sourced & influenced pipeline (velocity, win rates, revenue).
• Repeatable solutions launched and adopted via the Microsoft Marketplace.
• Recognition as a top-tier Microsoft partner through advanced AI, Data & Industry Cloud designations.

The Ideal Candidate

• 10+ years’ experience in Microsoft alliances, consulting, or practice leadership.
• Proven ability to scale global Microsoft practices with measurable outcomes.
• Deep expertise in Azure AI, Copilot, Fabric, Power Platform, and modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake).
• Gravitas to influence Microsoft executives, C-level clients, and global partner ecosystems.
• Strong commercial instincts with a pipeline-first mindset.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive package with global leadership incentives.
• The chance to own and scale a Microsoft practice globally.
• Access to the latest Microsoft AI, Copilot, and Fabric innovations.
• A platform to deliver industry-shaping solutions for FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 clients worldwide.

If you’re a senior Microsoft leader ready to make global impact, I’d love to have a confidential conversation.
