Why Microsoft: Microsoft Australia is on a mission to inspire people, innovate for growth and empower Australia. Elena Wise, Specialist Team Unit Lead, “I have never worked for a company where every employee is so deeply engaged with the company’s vision and purpose as they are at Microsoft. It provides the connective tissue across the company and informs everything that we do, and more importantly, how we do it. When asked for a word that describes their experience with Microsoft in our recent employee survey, the word “Proud” won out by a country mile.”
Being a Sales Specialist in the Data & AI team at Microsoft means so much more than selling products to enterprise clients; it means growing your career while surrounded by talented, supportive and inclusive leaders; it means being able to bring your whole self to work and thriving on your own terms.
