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.
