About this role
Overview
Are you passionate about cybersecurity, AI-driven transformation and building high-performing, cross-solution-area sales organizations? Microsoft Security is on a mission to make the world a safer place and to help customers win AI with Security. As AI and agentic workloads become central to every enterprise transformation, customers need a secure baseline for productivity and a trusted, secure platform for AI. The Microsoft Security organization brings together integrated innovation across identity, data security, endpoint, cloud security, security operations and AI security to help customers adopt AI safely, confidently and at scale. As a Security Specialist Sales Director , you will lead a high-performing security sales organization to accelerate customer AI transformation through an AI-first integrated security platform narrative. You will drive the pivot from selling individual security products to winning the secure agentic platform at customers by orchestrating ABS, CAI and SCI across solution areas. You will help customers establish an AI-ready security baseline, secure data estates, govern AI applications and agents, and defend at machine speed through modern security operations. This role requires executive-level leadership with CISOs, CIOs, CEOs and boards to position Security as a booster of AI transformation — not a blocker — and to translate Microsoft Security innovation into durable customer outcomes and business growth. In line with our Flexible Work approach, for roles at Microsoft Germany, we recommend spending at least two days per week in the office or at the customer site.
