For this role, we are looking for people with experience in net new sales where you are selling digital transformation and consulting services (e.g., cloud implementation, business applications integration, etc.) to enterprise clients across the Products sector (Retail, Manufacturing, Consumer Goods, and Professional Services).
Avanade is looking for Business Development Directors who have superb interpersonal skills and who can establish strong relationships within new & existing clients within the Microsoft ecosystem.
Come join us There is one in every group—the person who dreams big and has the motivation to bring their ideas to life, even as others might roll their eyes and prefer to play it safe. Are you that person? Are you the one who isn’t afraid to break the mold and who gets passionate about the power of digital to transform organizations and ways of working? Because we are building teams of people like that to help our clients unlock the power they need now and own what is next. Together we do what matters.
What you’ll do Be focused on the Products market, engaging enterprise clients across Retail, Manufacturing, Consumer Goods, and Professional Services. Must be able to drive industry-specific discussions with customer C-suite in both business and industry. You will be responsible for identifying high-potential transformation deals, leading, and running many of the entire sales cycles. You will drive new and incremental revenue by prospecting, acquiring, and developing new and fast-growing business with direct clients in your area of expertise. You will also work closely with partners driving new business. You will build a pipeline for growth and closing business, including statements of work and contracts. You will interact with Avanade’s new and current clients, gain referrals from them, and form strong trust relationships that open doors and close deals. You will maintain an extensive knowledge of current market conditions, contending offerings, and current penetration of services and solutions.
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.
