- Develop high-quality solution artifacts including SOWs, phased delivery plans, assumptions, dependencies, and risk-managed proposals.
- Structure engagement approaches that balance technical feasibility, delivery risk, commercial margin, and implementation scalability.
- Communicate effectively with executive stakeholders, tailoring messaging for both business leaders (value, ROI, risk) and technical leaders (architecture, feasibility).
- Partner closely with sales and delivery teams to ensure smooth handoffs, deal alignment, and execution readiness.
- Identify delivery risks early and proactively protect downstream teams by setting realistic expectations and clear solution boundaries.

- Experience designing integration and automation solutions using tools such as Logic Apps, Event Grid, Functions, APIM, and Container Apps.
- Strong executive communication skills with the ability to influence CFO-, COO-, CTO-, and CISO-level stakeholders.
- Familiarity with consulting frameworks (e.g., Microsoft Catalyst, Design Thinking, LUMA) and change management methodologies (e.g., Prosci).
- Preferred background in Microsoft consulting partners such as Avanade, Deloitte, Accenture, EY, or Slalom.
