You will utilize your expertise to identify the best components of the Microsoft Data Platform to use in different cases, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of our solutions. Additionally, you will be responsible for developing our solution offerings and propositions, shaping the direction of our Microsoft Data & Innovation practice.
Your role will primarily focus on guiding and training junior colleagues, providing technical leadership and support during client engagements, and ensuring the successful delivery of our solutions.
