Job description
Azure, Modern Work, Security and Business Applications are the solution areas this Dubai apprentice will work across, supporting a portfolio of managed Microsoft partners. Six paid months make up the Microsoft Tomoh Apprenticeship, which starts in January 2027 as part of Microsoft's Emiratisation program. During the opening month, an Onboarding & Skilling Bootcamp introduces Microsoft's mission, culture and structure and prepares you for globally recognised Microsoft technical certifications. Project management and change management courses run alongside that technical skilling. From the second month, on-the-job training begins, with mentoring, coaching and job shadowing inside the Partner Solution Sales team. Joint business planning with partners, pipeline and forecast tracking, and market and competitive research shape most weeks. Co-sell work with Microsoft sales, technical and marketing teams sits alongside partner enablement on value propositions, programs and go-to-market resources. Further training covers AI, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing. Applicants must be Emirati nationals holding a UAE Family Book, fluent in English, with a completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Sales, Economics, Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. The working pattern is 3 days a week in the office, with travel under 25%.
