• Shape and assure AI-led solutions through customer discovery, workshops, demonstrations, proof-of-concepts and proposals, identifying technical risks and constraints early.
• Partner closely with Sales Executives, Solution Architects and Delivery teams to support commercial opportunities, validate feasibility and ensure successful handovers.
• Own and develop AI demo environments and reusable pre-sales assets, while acting as a senior escalation point for complex AI opportunities.

Skills & Experience:

• Previous experience leading, managing, coaching or mentoring technical consultants or pre-sales specialists.
• Strong background in technical pre-sales, solution consulting or solution specialist roles.
• Hands-on knowledge of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI and Power Platform.
• Experience shaping AI solutions through discovery, demonstrations, POCs and customer engagements.
• Strong commercial awareness, with experience supporting customer opportunities and contributing towards revenue targets.
