Business Development Director, Consumer Goods & Retail

Country: France Cities: Paris

Avanade is looking for Business Development Managers who excel in collaborative, partner-driven sales environments. In this role, you will work closely with Accenture, which leads the client relationship as the account executive, while you specialize in identifying and delivering Microsoft-based solutions. Rather than direct sales, your focus will be on growing Avanade's business within Accenture's accounts, supporting their sales efforts, and driving Microsoft opportunities within the Consumer Goods & Retail sector.

You will collaborate daily with Accenture, leveraging their broader offerings while positioning Microsoft technologies to help clients modernize legacy systems, migrate to the cloud, and drive efficiency in financial services. Success requires strong relationship management skills, experience in complex enterprise sales, and the ability to navigate a structured, multi-stakeholder environment.

Candidate Profile

There is one in every group - the person who dreams big and has the motivation to bring their ideas to life, even as others might roll their eyes and prefer to play it safe. Are you that person?

Are you the one who isn't afraid to break the mold and who gets passionate about the power of digital to transform organizations and ways of working? Because we are building teams of people like that to help our clients unlock the power they need now and own what is next.
