Job description

Microsoft Strategic Practice Director (Plano, TX)CSP / NCE / Azure / M365 / AIThe OpportunityWe are seeking a strategic, customer-facing leader to drive Microsoft cloud growth within a Cloud Solution Provider and partner-led services organization. This role serves as the primary advisor on Microsoft strategy, aligning customer business objectives with Microsoft’s evolving cloud ecosystem across Microsoft 365, Azure, Security, Copilot, and Azure AI.
The ideal candidate combines business strategy, presales leadership, Microsoft partner expertise, funding program navigation, and operational rigor. This person should look and feel like a high-caliber former Microsoft-facing partner leader or Partner Development Manager profile: someone who can engage Microsoft field sellers and PDMs, shape customer opportunities, translate partner programs into revenue, and turn designations, incentives, and GTM investments into actual growth. Internal role examples and partner-facing materials show this kind of role must bridge partner relationships, co-sell execution, technical positioning, and business accountability.
This is not a pure alliance role and not a pure presales role. It is a hybrid operator role spanning Microsoft relationship management, GTM development, customer-facing solution strategy, funding and incentive orchestration, and business reporting.Why this role existsTo be effective with Microsoft, a partner needs far more than a reseller motion. Internal Microsoft practice material highlights the need for broad subject matter expertise, fast access to specialists, strong partner relationships, and the ability to move quickly on customer opportunities.
The person in this role will help Technologent:
  • maximize the value of the Microsoft reseller and services relationship
  • improve CSP and NCE commercial execution
  • align deals to funding and incentive eligibility
  • shape Microsoft GTM motions across M365, Azure, Security, Copilot, and AI

  • Own and manage the Microsoft partner reseller relationship, including cadence, escalation, opportunity alignment, field mapping, and joint planning
  • Drive alignment with Microsoft field teams, Partner Development Managers, account sellers, and strategic partner resources
  • Translate Microsoft priorities such as AI, security, cloud migration, Copilot, and Azure modernization into actionable customer strategies
  • Help determine when Technologent should lead directly versus leverage delivery or licensing partners

  • Develop and execute joint GTM strategies across Microsoft solution areas:
    • Modern Work: Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot
    • Security: Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview
    • Azure: Infrastructure, migration, modernization, data platform
    • Azure AI and Copilot ecosystem
  • Build repeatable solution motions for migration, modernization, AI adoption, security transformation, and managed services
  • Develop GTM messaging, campaign themes, talk tracks, seller enablement content, and strategic positioning
  • Translate Microsoft solution play priorities into practical field motions
3. Presales and customer engagement
  • Lead strategic presales calls, workshops, and executive discussions with enterprise and mid-market customers
  • Shape solution direction, business cases, and Statements of Work tied to Microsoft cloud adoption
  • Position value-based outcomes such as cost optimization, security posture improvement, cloud modernization, AI transformation, and recurring managed services
  • Support account teams with licensing strategy, funding alignment, partner selection, and commercial positioning
  • Act as an escalation point for complex Microsoft opportunities requiring cross-functional coordination
4. Microsoft funding and incentive navigation
  • Identify, align, and secure Microsoft funding programs including ECIF, Co-op, Azure credits, CSP incentives, Azure Accelerate, etc. for customer engagements
  • Work directly with Microsoft stakeholders to nominate opportunities and unlock funding
  • Build funding-led deal strategies that reduce customer friction and accelerate sales cycles
  • Align SOWs, milestones, and engagement scope to Microsoft funding eligibility requirements
  • Track funding usage, governance, proof of execution, and performance against Microsoft targets
  • Establish repeatable internal process for deciding which funding vehicles can be stacked and which cannot
5. Partner program and incentive optimization
  • Ensure optimal use of CSP, Partner Center, Microsoft Commerce Incentives, and related co-sell and attribution structures
  • Drive correct attribution models including CPOR, DPOR, and PAL to maximize incentive eligibility, designation progress, and partner benefits
  • Track Microsoft incentive performance across Azure consumption, M365 growth, Copilot adoption, co-op usage, and program compliance
  • Maintain deep fluency in Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, advanced specializations, solution play eligibility, and Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program benefits
  • Help the business package opportunities so they qualify for multiple aligned motions without violating program rules
6. Financial reporting and business operations
  • Own financial reporting and operational visibility for all Microsoft business
  • Report on bookings, renewals, pipeline, Azure Consumed Revenue, M365 attach, Copilot adoption, funding secured, incentive yield, and margin performance
  • Create executive-ready scorecards for Microsoft reseller, services, and incentive performance
  • Monitor profitability of Microsoft business across licensing, services, partner fees, and incentive recovery
7. Cross-functional leadership
  • Collaborate with delivery, cloud engineering, operations, and marketing teams to ensure execution continuity
  • Enable internal sales and technical teams on Microsoft programs, incentives, GTM priorities, and funding plays
  • Create feedback loops to improve packaged offerings, SOW quality, nomination readiness, and seller motions
  • Act as the connective tissue between sales, finance, partner operations, Microsoft field, and delivery
  • Cultivate and manage network of Microsoft delivery partners
