Original job description
ITI is looking to welcome a Senior Cloud & AI Sales Specialist within its Microsoft team.
In this strategic sales role, you will lead the commercial development of ITI’s Microsoft Cloud & AI practice, with a primary focus on Azure Infrastructure and Data & AI, while also supporting opportunities related to application modernization, DevOps, analytics, and emerging AI solutions.
You will work directly with business and technology decision-makers to identify transformation priorities, develop new opportunities, position Microsoft technologies and ITI professional services, and lead opportunities through the sales cycle to close.
As a senior Cloud & AI sales specialist, you will combine strong commercial instincts with a solid understanding of the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. You will not be expected to act as the technical architect. Instead, you will orchestrate the right technical, delivery, Microsoft, and commercial resources to build compelling solutions and move opportunities forward.
You will also lead ITI’s commercial relationship with Microsoft’s Cloud & AI sales organization, aligning joint priorities, developing shared pipeline, driving co-sell motions, and strengthening ITI’s positioning within Microsoft-led opportunities.
Your mandate will span both Microsoft technology and Azure consumption growth, as well as ITI professional services, allowing you to develop complete Cloud & AI transformation opportunities rather than focusing on a single product or service.
Your role at ITI
You will be responsible for:
- Own the Cloud & AI specialist sales motion across ITI’s existing and prospective client base, with a primary focus on Azure Infrastructure and Data & AI;
- Develop, qualify, and close complex opportunities combining Microsoft technologies, Azure consumption, and ITI professional services;
- Engage directly with business and technology decision-makers to identify transformation priorities and position relevant Cloud & AI solutions and services;
- Build and manage a qualified Cloud & AI pipeline, taking ownership of opportunities from initial discovery and qualification through proposal, negotiation, and close;
- Lead ITI’s commercial relationship with Microsoft’s Cloud & AI sales organization, including joint account planning, pipeline development, co-sell motions, and go-to-market initiatives;
- Orchestrate ITI architects, technical specialists, Professional Services teams, account executives, and Microsoft resources throughout the sales cycle;
- Translate Cloud, Data, and AI capabilities into clear business outcomes and compelling value propositions while maintaining disciplined management of pipeline, forecasts, and CRM information.
This position is for you if...
- You are energized by being in front of clients, uncovering opportunities, building strategic relationships, and closing meaningful technology and professional services engagements;
- You enjoy complex consultative selling where business priorities, technology transformation, and commercial strategy need to come together;
- You are comfortable navigating conversations across Azure Infrastructure and Data & AI and can credibly engage business and technology decision-makers without needing to act as the technical architect;
- You have strong commercial instincts and naturally look for opportunities to expand the scope and value of a client relationship;
- You enjoy building relationships with Microsoft sellers and understand how joint pipeline, co-sell, and partner alignment can accelerate business development;
- You are motivated by pipeline creation, revenue growth, Azure consumption, professional services sales, and measurable business results;
- You are comfortable orchestrating multiple stakeholders and bringing together sales, technical, delivery, Microsoft, and client teams around a common commercial objective.
