Job description
Seller productivity and business performance at Microsoft depend on well-run planning, programmes and operations, and this Dubai apprenticeship puts you inside that work. Part of the Tomoh Program for Emiratisation, the paid six-month apprenticeship starts in January 2027. The first month is a bootcamp covering Microsoft's mission, culture and structure, globally recognised technical certifications, and courses such as project management and change management. Five months of on-the-job training follow, with mentoring, coaching and job shadowing as a Sales Excellence Mgr Apprentice. Sales planning, pipeline reviews and business performance tracking are part of the daily work, along with coordinating Rhythm of Business (RoB) activities. Analysis of sales data, reporting and pipeline health drives insight, and adoption of sales tools and processes is encouraged across teams. Account, territory and partner planning also feature, with advanced training in AI, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing running alongside. Applicants must be Emirati nationals holding a UAE Family Book, fluent in English, with a completed Bachelor's or Master's in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration or a related field. The pattern is 3 days a week in the office with travel under 25%, and experience with data analysis or BI tools would help.
