The Technical Pre‑Sales Frontier AI Architect will help customers move from isolated AI experiments to production‑ready, governed and secure AI solutions across the Microsoft stack. The role is broader than a Microsoft 365 Copilot pre‑sales position. It spans Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft Fabric and Fabric IQ, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Git Hub Copilot, Microsoft Agent 365, identity, data security, governance and the integration of agents into business processes and applications.
Working across business and technical stakeholders, the architect will lead discovery, shape priority use cases, assess readiness and design end‑to‑end solution approaches. They will turn those designs into clear proposals, demonstrations, proof‑of‑value engagements and statements of work that delivery teams can execute with confidence.
The successful candidate will also play a formative role in the Data & AI pre‑sales tiger team. At Team Lead level, this includes coordinating workloads, coaching colleagues, setting repeatable architecture and qualification patterns, improving quality and supporting capability planning across the wider Technical Pre‑Sales function.

- Assess whether opportunities are ready to progress, including use‑case priority, data suitability, Azure foundations, identity, security, governance, observability, operational ownership and executive sponsorship.
- Design end‑to‑end Frontier AI architectures across Azure AI Foundry, Fabric and Fabric IQ, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Git Hub Copilot, Agent 365 and relevant security and identity services.
- Shape agentic solutions that connect people, data, applications and business processes, with responsible AI, security, governance, monitoring and cost control built in from the outset.
- Translate complex requirements into clear proposals, solution designs, statements of work, assumptions, dependencies and estimates and handover material.
- Deliver technical workshops, demonstrations, architecture playback sessions and proof‑of‑value engagements that are tailored to customer priorities.
