This role provides coverage for an employee currently on a leave of absence and is expected to continue until the employee returns. The employee is currently expected to return in or around 12 months, although this timing may change. While we remain fully committed to your career development at Microsoft, we cannot commit to continued placement in this specific role beyond the assignment.

Microsoft’s FSI Strategic Accounts team partners with Canada’s largest and most complex financial institutions to turn bold business ambitions into secure, scalable technology outcomes.

This opportunity will allow you to deepen your financial-services business acumen, expand your executive advisory and consultative-selling capabilities, and strengthen your ability to lead complex, multi-year transformation programs.

This role offers flexibility to work from home up to 50% of the time.
