-
Acting as a visible thought leader in Microsoft-enabled transformation, including AI, automation, and data innovation
What you’ll bring:
-
Proven track record of originating and closing multi-£m deals within Financial Services
-
Strong understanding of regulatory drivers (e.g. compliance, operational resilience, consumer duty)
-
Experience selling Microsoft Business Applications, Azure, Data, or Power Platform solutions
-
Ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments and long enterprise sales cycles
-
Experience shaping large-scale digital and organisational transformation programmes
-
