In this individual-contributor, quota-carrying role you will own the entire engagement cycle — pinpointing opportunities, crafting value propositions, and driving AI-powered business-process transformation within your assigned federal territory. Partnering closely with Account Executives, Digital Solution Engineers, partners, and marketing, you will design win strategies, deliver compelling demos and pilots, and land customer success plans that accelerate Copilot and agent adoption at scale. Leveraging deep domain expertise and consultative selling skills, you will translate complex agency mission scenarios into clear business outcomes, remove blockers to consumption, and consistently meet or exceed revenue targets.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
Responsibilities
Sales Execution
Orchestrate a virtual team and assess agency needs to develop strategies that proactively build a stakeholder network to accelerate and close AI Workforce opportunities.
Drive incremental revenue growth through personal campaigns (e.g., portfolio and seat analysis) and internal sources (marketing, account teams); qualify and expand new opportunities and build pipeline through Microsoft’s sales process (MSP).
Drive growth across the core Microsoft 365 estate — ME3, ME5, ME7, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Viva, Frontline Worker, Windows 365, and Azure Virtual Desktop — through seat growth, workload adoption, competitive displacement, and renewal motions, recognizing that a healthy productivity and collaboration foundation is what makes AI deployment possible.
Land Copilot and agent deployments that actually get used — ensure a rapid, robust deployment plan at point of sale, validated by services and partners, and identify and remove blockers to consumption and renewal.
Grow existing agency footprints by expanding from initial Copilot pilots into enterprise-wide, mission-aligned AI adoption.
Business Value and Consultative Selling
Foster and expand Microsoft’s relationship with agency Business Decision Makers, mission owners, and CIO/CTO/CDAO organizations. Hunt new AI Workforce opportunities by identifying and engaging with key business contacts. Understand agencies’ mission, business and technology priorities, governance, decision and budget processes, and land the value proposition of AI Workforce solutions.
Articulate the business value of the Microsoft 365 productivity and collaboration platform against competing solutions, and position the portfolio as an integrated whole rather than a set of individual workloads.
Build and defend the business case for AI — quantify time returned to the mission, cost avoidance, and workforce capacity gains, and articulate outcomes in the language of the agency’s mission rather than the language of features.
Technical and AI Expertise
Lead AI Workforce BDM and ITDM conversations, share best practices, present solutions with a differentiated value proposition, mission use cases and key competitor knowledge across solution areas acting as a subject matter expert to inform decisions on pursuit or withdrawal.
Maintain working depth across the Microsoft 365 productivity and collaboration stack — Microsoft 365 suites, Microsoft Teams, Viva, and endpoint and virtualization workloads including Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop — together with the identity, security, and compliance considerations that govern their deployment in federal environments. Solution Engineers, partners, and marketing, you will design win strategies, deliver compelling demos and pilots, and land customer success plans that accelerate Copilot and agent adoption at scale. Leveraging deep domain expertise and consultative selling skills, you will translate complex agency mission scenarios into clear business outcomes, remove blockers to consumption, and consistently meet or exceed revenue targets.
