Global Microsoft GTM Program Manager in Morrisville

Lenovo is seeking a Global Microsoft GTM Program Lead to drive the day-to-day execution of a worldwide growth program aligned to Lenovo and Microsoft strategic priorities. Working across Lenovo's global Solutions & Services business and with Microsoft, the role will turn agreed priorities into scalable go-to-market, seller readiness, customer activation and demand-generation programs that accelerate Microsoft-related services, cloud consumption and recurring revenue growth.

The successful candidate will be a highly collaborative program leader who can coordinate execution across global and regional Sales, Marketing, Enablement, Offering, Alliances and delivery teams, as well as Microsoft stakeholders and specialist external partners. You will manage the program roadmap, mobilize the right functional teams, track investment and outcomes, and help scale successful motions across geographies.

This is a high-impact global program leadership role within a strategic technology alliance. It requires strong program leadership, practical go-to-market experience, commercial discipline and the ability to influence across a complex matrix organization. Priorities may evolve during the year in response to Microsoft and Lenovo growth opportunities, so the ability to adapt the program while maintaining clear governance and measurable outcomes is essential.

• Manage the global Microsoft Growth Acceleration Program roadmap, execution plans, milestones, actions, dependencies and delivery cadence.
• Translate agreed Lenovo and Microsoft growth priorities into structured execution plans, with initial focus areas including AI, Copilot, Security, Azure and Azure Local, CSP, Marketplace/co-sell and services, with the flexibility to support emerging priorities during the year.
• Coordinate cross-functional execution across Sales, Marketing, Enablement, Offering, Alliances, Delivery teams and regions, ensuring clear ownership and follow-through across workstreams.
• Drive Microsoft-specific seller readiness and GTM enablement through sales plays, playbooks, toolkits, workshops, technical readiness sessions and launch support.
• Coordinate global GTM and customer activation, working through the appropriate functional and regional teams to support campaigns, workshops, customer engagement programs and reusable assets.
• Partner with the relevant Marketing teams and external agencies to develop seller- and customer-facing content and activation required for priority growth programs.
• Coordinate demand-generation and opportunity-acceleration programs aligned to agreed priorities, working with Sales and relevant functional teams to connect activation to target customers, qualified opportunities and follow-up motions.
• Manage specialist agencies, vendors and external delivery resources, ensuring scope, timelines, quality and outputs align to program objectives and approved investment plans.
• Maintain program governance, including milestone tracking, KPI reporting, investment utilization, funding requirements and proof of execution where applicable.
• Track program contribution to incremental commercial outcomes where attribution can be established, including Microsoft-related services pipeline, strategic workload opportunities, services attach, Azure consumption, licensing and CSP growth.
• Prepare concise scorecards, status updates and business review materials for senior Lenovo and Microsoft stakeholders.
• Identify execution risks, gaps and dependencies and drive actions to resolution across workstream owners.
• Capture best practices and scale successful motions across geographies while avoiding duplication of established functional and regional capabilities.
