This is a genuinely unique opportunity to get involved in shaping and winning exciting projects without the pressure of sales targets. You'll stay at the forefront of the latest Azure Data and AI technologies, continuously developing your technical skills, while avoiding living out of a suitacse, bureaucracy and internal politics often associated with traditional consultancy roles.
