About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Stand up the India D365 F&SCM delivery center from zero — defining the org design, capacity model, role architecture, and ramp plan for the first 30+ hires across functional, technical, AI, PM, and QA streams
Serve as the senior-most contributor to US practice P&L conversations — driving utilization targets, bench economics, fixed-fee recovery, and AI-enabled productivity assumptions into the operating plan
Own the AI enablement charter for the India practice: define the AI-first delivery standard, sponsor the agent and Copilot IP library, and ensure every project plan reflects AI-driven effort reduction and quality lift
Build and personally curate the Microsoft Partner relationship from Bengaluru — co-sell motions, Cloud Solution Provider hygiene, designation maintenance (Solutions Partner for Business Applications), and Inner Circle / Top Partner positioning
Set and enforce the delivery quality bar across all India-led workstreams: solution design reviews, code review standards, AI agent validation gates, go-live readiness criteria, and post-go-live hypercare governance
Lead executive-level client conversations alongside US partners and engagement leaders — particularly during pursuit, steering committees, escalations, and renewal discussions
Drive the talent strategy end-to-end: employer brand in the Bengaluru market, university partnerships, lateral hiring through executive search, internal mobility, and a deliberate attrition cost model that reflects 60–90 day notice realities
Establish the India practice's external thought leadership posture — published POVs, conference speaking, Microsoft community contributions, and an MVP-track development pipeline among your senior consultants
Own the operating cadence with US leadership: weekly delivery reviews, monthly margin and utilization reviews, quarterly strategy and AI roadmap alignment, and annual planning
Build the AI-forward consulting muscle across the team — sponsoring Copilot Studio guilds, MCP server pattern libraries, Azure AI Foundry experimentation budgets, and a quarterly AI build sprint
Personally engage on the most strategic deals as solution sponsor, lending architectural and business credibility to pursuit and steering conversations
Govern responsible AI adoption across all client work — including data residency, Microsoft Responsible AI Standard adherence, and customer-facing AI risk disclosures
