Director, Enterprise To-Customer Go-To-Market - Worldwide Windows Commercial
Top focus
Overview Within MCAPS Core, the Windows & Devices Sales (WDS) team unites the creation and delivery of Windows and device solutions to drive customer satisfaction globally. We work closely with a diverse ecosystem of partners and customers to ensure innovative solutions reach every market and segment.
The Director, Enterprise To-Customer Go-To-Market — Worldwide Windows Commercial owns how Windows shows up in enterprise advisory and AI-transformation conversations — connecting the advisor motion, the Pro compete narrative, GSI upstream influence, and category GTM into one coherent enterprise story.
The role defines the customer strategy, narrative, and plays that position of Windows as an AI platform, not a device. Sitting at the intersection of category strategy, the Windows Solution Sales (advisor) motion, the partner ecosystem, and field execution, the role translates Windows and AI platform strategy into practical customer scenarios, sales conversations, and advisor-ready plays aligned to MCAPS solution plays.
It works upstream with GSIs and partners to ensure Windows is specified in enterprise architectures, and draws a clear line between where WDS engages directly and where it enables the advisor org. This is a pivotal role as Windows evolves as an AI platform, and enterprise buying becomes more advisory- and ecosystem-led.
It requires enterprise GTM depth, compete instinct, narrative craft, partner and GSI fluency, and the ability to align across the advisor org, category, deal system, and PDI. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
As employees, we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
