Envisioning Specialist

Overview

At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. The Global Experience Centers (GEC) bring that mission to life through high-impact executive engagements that deepen customer and partner relationships and serve as a trusted partner on their transformation journey through executive briefings and immersive experiences.

We are looking for an Envisioning Specialist to help design and deliver end-to-end experiences that blend curated content, expert speakers, and immersive storytelling to inspire action and drive AI transformation. If you're energized by engaging with customers and want to be at the forefront of innovation, GEC offers a dynamic platform to make a meaningful impact and grow your career.

Picture this: You’ve just concluded a demonstration with a group of customer executives at Experience Center One. Over the course of the conversation, you’ve connected emerging technology and real-world business scenarios to the challenges and opportunities that matter most to their organization. What began as a demonstration has become a strategic conversation about what’s possible, what it could mean for their business, and where they go next.

That is the opportunity of an Envisioning Specialist. You make complex technology relevant, understandable, and compelling. You stay curious about the innovations reshaping industries and translate them into stories that resonate with executive audiences. By understanding each customer’s priorities and creating meaningful moments of connection, you help some of Microsoft’s most strategic customers envision what AI transformation could look like for their organization and inspire the conversations that move them forward.

This position is based in Redmond, Washington at Microsoft’s Experience Center One, and requires on-site presence due to the hands-on nature of briefing delivery.

• Serve as a subject matter expert in storytelling and customer demonstration delivery, providing insights and perspectives to GEC partners in Redmond and the global community of Envisioning Specialists in Silicon Valley, Munich, and Singapore.

• Capture the “Voice of the Customer” at the conclusion of each demonstration, documenting feedback in internal tools and sharing it with account teams to help accelerate the sales cycle.

• Identify trends, business needs, challenges, and feedback from customer engagements, and provide input on existing experiences and ideas for potential new experiences.
