Campaign Development & Execution:

• Proven expertise in digital marketing trends, brand positioning, sales funnel optimisation, and audience segmentation
• Strong technical acumen to understand and communicate complex cloud solutions and technology partnerships

Consultative & Communication Skills:

• Exceptional consultative abilities - approaching client relationships as a trusted advisor rather than a traditional account manager
• Outstanding listening skills to truly understand partner needs and co-develop targeted marketing strategies
• Confident, charismatic communicator able to represent Microsoft with influence and clarity
• Excellent writing ability for crafting persuasive, strategic recommendations that drive action

Leadership & Relationship Building:

• Strong relationship-building skills with a consultative mindset focused on long-term partner success

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills with a consultative approach
• Native English proficiency
• Experience with Microsoft partner ecosystem or similar technology partnership programs preferred

This position represents a shift toward a more consultative, relationship-focused approach to partner marketing management.
