Open Positions at Microsoft South Africa

If you would like to work for the company who has recently won "Best Employer" in South Africa, contact me directly on michodon at microsoft dot com for those positions listed below. All these positions are available in the Specialist Technical Unit (STU). Ever seen 24? The STU is somewhat similar to the CTU; they are highly skilled and well tuned athletes in the technical sales force at Microsoft.

Business Productivity Solution Sales Professional (BP SSP)

Focus on products  such as SharePoint, Office Communications Server, Live Meeting, PerformancePoint Server etc, all of which make up Information Worker solutions. In this exciting role you will concentrate on helping a vertical set of customers improve their business productivity through invesments in IW based solutions.

EPM Solution Sales Professional (EPM SSP)

Familiar with Project Server, Portfolio Server or Microsoft Project? This is similar to the BP SSP role, but with a focus on Enterprise Project Management.

Application Platform Solution Sales Professional (App Plat SSP)

Somewhat similar to the EPM and BP SSP roles, however in this role you would focus on the application platform as a whole, which includes several products which make up an application platform for customer solutions. This covers development tools, development frameworks and even products such a BizTalk.

Visio Technical Solution Professional (Visio TSP)

This product needs a pre-sales technical person to assist customer's in realising its value across many workloads. Typical day to day activities includes proof of concepts, architectural design sessions and generally connecting with the technical folk at customers and partners.
