About The Position

Want to drive customer value with AI and turn your ideas into human impact? So do we. At Avanade, we are breaking apart the traditional process of setting strategies and goals first, then finding technologies to achieve them. In the age of AI and rapid digital transformation, there’s no time for that linear process. We partner with clients to accelerate value by being ambitious, imaginative – and fast. We believe “big” and deliver personally. We relentlessly challenge, encourage, support our client partners and each other. As the strategic and experience consulting arm of Avanade, our Advisory & Experiences practice ensures enterprise technology investments deliver real business results. We combine deep Microsoft expertise with strategic vision and human understanding to transform how organizations apply technology to accomplish their goals. Our approach is comprehensive yet practical: we develop strategies rooted in business objectives , design systems that humans actually want to use, and enable our clients to implement real solutions that drive measurable outcomes—from operational efficiency to productivity gains, sustainable growth, and breakthrough innovation. Within Organizational Change Management (OCM), we guide clients through the journey from awareness to adoption, helping them realize the full value of their Microsoft technology investments. Our consultants align stakeholders around a shared transformation vision, develop and implement tailored change strategies, lead communications and engagement efforts, assess change impacts, and design training programs that upskill workforces and drive sustained adoption. We measure what matters—tracking progress, surfacing insights, and adjusting strategies to ensure lasting impact. Microsoft is our medium, and we are masters of our craft—bringing unmatched product knowledge, strategic insight, and human-centered delivery to every engagement.
