The Regional Solution Engineer Lead is the principal technical sales advisor and strategist for the corporate segment, serving as the link between technical sellers and broader account vision. This role now reports to the Regional Corporate Organization to drive consistency and best practice sharing across regions. You will focus on two areas: (1) Azure Technical Leadership – guiding and supporting Azure-related opportunities and consumption in the region, and (2) Cross-Workload Integration – working with other solution area tech specialists (Workplace AI, Security, AI Business Process) to ensure end-to-end technical engagement is cohesive and aligned with sales priorities. You act as a “CTO” of the regional sales team, mentoring solution engineers, orchestrating complex technical deals, and establishing partnerships with product engineering and partner technical teams. This role allows you to remain hands-on technically while shaping strategic initiatives such as SAP on Azure migrations and GitHub adoption

In this role, you take on strategic technical sales leadership without direct people management, leveraging influence to raise technical excellence. You will own the technical strategy for Azure and cross-solution technical Communities (ensuring technical sellers for Workplace AI, Security, AI Business Process, etc., operate in sync with account plans) in the corporate segment. You will be the escalation point for technical issues, design high-level solution approaches for big deals, and champion technical community building (deep-dives, training, best practices). This position gives you the chance to shape the technical direction and skillset of an entire sales region, work on the most impactful deals, and foster innovation through technology partnerships.
