With a vision to build and sell Microsoft AI‑powered platforms, cloud services, and devices through a rich partner ecosystem, the Windows and Device Sales (WDS) organization brings together sales, technical expertise, and partners to help customers achieve real business outcomes with Microsoft technology. WDS plays a critical role in shaping and delivering the endpoint platform that powers modern, secure, and AI‑enabled work. WDS works across Microsoft’s commercial ecosystem, including OEMs, silicon partners, distributors, resellers, and services partners - to drive Windows platform adoption, protect and grow share, and ensure customers realize long‑term value from their device and endpoint investments.

In this role, you will lead high‑impact, time‑bound customer engagements where Windows platform decisions are at risk or strategically critical. You will articulate differentiated Windows value across security, resiliency, management, and AI workloads; orchestrate partners and internal teams to deliver proof and outcomes; and convert lighthouse wins into repeatable evidence that scales across industries and partners. This opportunity will allow you to deepen executive‑level consultative skills, build technical and platform credibility across the Windows ecosystem, and play a visible role in protecting and expanding Microsoft’s commercial footprint in priority accounts.
