Microsoft New Business Sales Specialist

We’re an ambitious, forward-thinking global business who build transformative solutions for our customers to deliver best-in-class sustainable mobility, connectivity and technology solutions. We support our customers with a range of products and services to meet their needs.

This is where you come in. We are on a journey of growth. We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of technology innovation and we invite you along on this journey.

Are you a driven new business sales professional who thrives on opening doors, creating opportunities, and winning new customers?

We are looking for a highly motivated Microsoft New Business Specialist to join our growing team. This is a pure new business role focused on identifying, engaging, and converting prospective customers across Microsoft solutions and licensing.

While marketing campaigns and internal data will provide some support, the majority of success in this role will come from proactive prospecting, networking, outreach, and building a strong pipeline through self-generated opportunities.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys the challenge of hunting for new business, is commercially driven, and has a passion for helping customers realise the value of Microsoft technologies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Stay up to date with Microsoft's licensing programmes, funding initiatives, incentives, and market developments.
