Within SME&C, our Customer Success organization empowers Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners to build durable, AI-first support practices through our Unified for Partners (UFP) Practice Builders. As a Director, Partner Success (also referred to as the Support PSM Manager), you will lead a team of Support Partner Success Managers (PSMs) who help top partners mature their support capabilities and become self-sufficient—reducing escalations to Microsoft and delivering the best experience and fastest resolution for customers. 

You will build, coach, and develop a high-performing team of delivery-oriented specialists, and set the standard for how your team runs the Support Capability Benchmark, co-authors joint execution plans with Customer Success Account Managers (CSAMs) and Service Managers, and delivers technical briefings, success programs, and operational intellectual property (IP). You will own your team’s collective outcomes—chief among them the reduction of partner escalation rates to Microsoft—and represent the Support practice-building motion to senior Microsoft and partner stakeholders. You are accountable for landing a consistent, high-quality delivery model across your portfolio and for orchestrating with Azure and AI Business Solutions (ABS) Partner Success, Cloud Solution Architects, Service Managers, and Partner Development Managers. 

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.
