The MTC in Dallas (Irving, TX) is looking for a Cloud Productivity architect with deep and broad technology experience as well as strong solution selling skills. In this role, you will work with business and technical decision makers from Microsoft enterprise accounts as well as Microsoft partners and Microsoft account teams. You will focus on leading Strategy Briefings (SB), Architecture Design Sessions (ADSs) and Proof of Concepts (POCs), helping enterprise customers identify and articulate the business opportunity, propose, and validate solution architectures, devise migration strategies, and transfer knowledge on best practices through interactive white-boarding sessions and hands-on delivery.
The successful candidate will have deep enterprise experience, including in-depth, hands-on knowledge of the Office 365 services platform and have strong development skills in customizing the environment and in the presentation side on various devices such as but not limited to Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, iOS, and Android. Experience with Active Directory design and federation, SharePoint, Microsoft BI and Lync unified messaging is desired. Experience with competitive conversion (Cisco, Google) and/or migrations to Office 365 from on premise solutions is desired.
The role requires an affinity for evangelism and competitive engagement, often with groups biased against Microsoft solutions. The ability to win hearts and minds, and to explain abstract technical concepts in a business value context, is a must.
The position requires a commitment to customer satisfaction; the ability to thrive in a virtual team environment; and strong communication and presentation skills. The candidate must be a self-starter who takes ownership of engagements; works well independently and as part of a team; manages multiple simultaneous projects; and deals well with ambiguity and last-minute changes. The candidate needs to have the ability and passion necessary to maintain technical excellence with emerging technologies, including competitive technologies, while continuing to manage customer engagements.
A BS/BA degree or equivalent work experience combined with a minimum of 10 years of relevant work experience, including a technical sales background is strongly preferred.
