Microsoft Careers: Sales Roles

Sales

To work in sales at Microsoft you don't need in-depth technical skills, but you do need to have a passion for leading-edge technology. The kind of passion that inspires our customers to realise the full potential of our products – and helps them to increase their productivity.

Sales at Microsoft means far more than making your revenue quota – you must be a forward-thinking problem-solver.
