Working hand in hand with Kyndryl Consult Partners and customer stakeholders, you will leverage your deep technical and solution expertise to drive strategic opportunities, develop differentiated value propositions, and exceed customer expectations. In this role, you won’t just be another advisor, you’ll be a trusted ally and visionary, delivering unique, Microsoft‑based solutions that transform our customers’ businesses. Through engaging demonstrations, compelling presentations, and innovative prototypes, you will showcase Kyndryl’s technical eminence and leave a lasting impression on our customers and partners. As a vital member of our team, you will support Consulting, Advisory, and Architecture activities across Sales, Pre‑Sales, and Delivery, collaborating closely with Customer Partners and Kyndryl Consult Partners. Your deep domain expertise in Microsoft platforms, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Dynamics, will enable you to design and articulate comprehensive, cross‑practice solutions that address complex enterprise challenges and drive profitable deals. Your dedication to continuous improvement and your passion for Microsoft technologies will shine through as you demonstrate end‑to‑end knowledge of the Microsoft ecosystem and its alignment with Kyndryl’s broader capabilities. Your external certifications and technical mastery will establish you as a true authority and thought leader in your field. As a Microsoft Business Architect, you will combine strong technical and business acumen to deliver value‑driven solutions within the Microsoft services domain. Your exceptional customer‑facing skills, articulate communication style, and interpersonal finesse will enable you to clearly convey the strategic and technical benefits of Kyndryl’s Microsoft solutions, aligning them perfectly to each customer’s unique needs. As a strategic thinker, you will identify and analyse intricate business and technical requirements, orchestrating Kyndryl’s full capabilities to generate winning cross‑practice solutions. Your ability to develop and deliver compelling demonstrations, proofs of concept, and prototypes will vividly demonstrate the tangible value of our offerings—leaving customers confident in their partnership with Kyndryl. In addition to your technical expertise, you will take the lead in coordinating the entire pre‑sales process, ensuring quality, compliance, and adherence to Kyndryl’s best practices. You will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to craft winning responses and optimal technical solutions. Moreover, you will actively build and nurture relationships with Microsoft alliance teams and ecosystem partners, fostering joint innovation and co‑created solutions. Join our team of forward‑thinking, tech‑savvy professionals and embark on a journey of innovation, growth, and impact. As a Microsoft Business Architect, you will not only shape the future of Microsoft‑based solutions but also make a meaningful contribution to the success of our customers—and to Kyndryl as a whole.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead customer‑facing engagements to identify business and technical requirements, shaping tailored Microsoft‑based solutions.
• Deliver high‑impact demonstrations, proofs‑of‑concept, and prototypes that articulate the value of Kyndryl’s Microsoft capabilities.
• Collaborate with internal teams and alliance partners to co‑create joint solutions and drive go‑to‑market plays.
• Support pre‑sales activities, including solution design, compliance verification, and proposal development.
• Align with Microsoft’s sales and partner engagement structures (ATU, STU, CSU) to drive joint opportunities.
• Represent Kyndryl at Microsoft events and forums, reinforcing our credibility and strategic alignment.

Your Future at Kyndryl

Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands‑on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialise in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important, you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer‑focused, someone who prioritises customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless, naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

• Deep domain knowledge across Microsoft Cloud services: Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Security, and Data & AI.
• Proven experience translating Microsoft capabilities into industry‑relevant customer propositions.
• Strong consultative selling background in complex enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated success in developing go‑to‑market plays with Microsoft solutions.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence both C‑level executives and technical teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in Microsoft‑focused solution sales, consulting, or architecture roles.
