[Job-32608] Senior Partner Sales Manager — Microsoft, US

We’re looking for someone who knows Microsoft from the inside. Not just someone who has worked with Microsoft — someone who understands how the organization operates, who the right people are, and how to move things forward in a co-sell motion. If that’s you, this role was built with your profile in mind.
As CI&T expands its partner ecosystem across North America, we’re opening a dedicated position to lead our Microsoft partnership. You’ll sit inside our North America Sales Machine, working at the intersection of CI&T’s account teams and Microsoft’s commercial and partner sales organization — with real influence over how this strategic relationship grows.

Your Mission
You’re the person who makes the Microsoft partnership produce results. That means identifying business opportunities where Microsoft technology fits into CI&T projects, activating co-sell motions, navigating funding programs (ECIF, MCI, ACO), and ensuring our account teams and Microsoft’s field are working together effectively. You’ll also coordinate joint events and marketing initiatives, and help shape CI&T’s partner strategy across key North America verticals — financial services, retail/CPG, healthcare, and automotive.
This is not a traditional sales role. CI&T’s account executives handle the commercial motion — you bring the partnership expertise, connect the right people, and make deals happen through the Microsoft ecosystem.

Must Have
Deep Microsoft experience — significant tenure inside Microsoft in a commercial, partner, or alliance-facing role. You know how the organization works, who to call, and how to get things done internally.
Partner or alliance background — proven experience in partner sales, partner development, alliances, or channel management. Titles like Partner Sales Manager, Partner Development Manager, Partner Account Manager, Alliances Manager, or Channel Manager.
Microsoft ecosystem fluency — hands-on knowledge of Microsoft’s partner programs, funding mechanisms (ECIF, MCI, ACO), and co-sell motion.
Commercial mindset — you identify opportunities and connect dots across organizations. Not a purely operational profile.
Fluent English — written and verbal.

Nice to Have
Experience at other hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, Databricks) in a partner-facing role
Background in a services or consulting organization
Vertical expertise in financial services, retail, CPG, healthcare, or automotive

Location & Travel
This is a fully remote position open to candidates based anywhere in the United States. Travel availability is required for partner events and Microsoft engagements. Candidates located in the Miami or Seattle areas are preferred, as these are home to Microsoft’s largest offices in the region.
