Location: home-based in the UK

Fulltime - Permanent role

The role

As an AI Presales Lead you will sit at the intersection of business strategy, solution architecture and emerging technology. You would work with customers to understand their challenges, define their AI roadmap and design solutions across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI and Power Platform.

This isn't about selling products. It's about helping organisations understand what's possible, what's practical and what's worth investing in. You'll lead technical discovery sessions, shape solution architecture, guide proof-of-value engagements and help customers move from AI ambition to AI adoption.

The role....

  • Acting as a trusted technical advisor to customers on Microsoft's AI ecosystem.
  • Leading AI strategy, discovery and architecture workshops.
  • Designing end-to-end solutions across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI and Power Platform.
  • Defining architecture, integration, governance and security considerations for AI implementations.
  • Building and presenting proof-of-value solutions that demonstrate business outcomes.
  • Advising customers on AI readiness, operating models and adoption strategies.
  • Working closely with sales, consulting and delivery teams to shape complex opportunities.
  • Translating business requirements into scalable, enterprise-grade solution designs.
  • Keeping pace with Microsoft's rapidly evolving AI roadmap and helping customers understand where emerging technologies can create value.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
