Central Singapore Avanade Full time

Organization Context

The Technology, Avanade X, and Advisory Business Groups (BG) are Avanade’s growth engines responsible for developing market relevant capabilities and solutions to help clients resolve critical business and technology issues. Through practices they provide sales, solutioning and delivery support to Client Groups and Accounts to help us win and sustain long-lasting relationships with our clients. In addition to direct relationships with clients, each Business Group works closely with Avanade’s most significant partners - Microsoft and Accenture, as well as other alliances - to drive growth of the business group and the Practices therein.

While we have made incredible progress in our employee experience in the past few years, we continue to see gaps in clarity around career ladders and pathways and priority skill development opportunities. We also need to be more purposeful in how we build the skills of our talent to meet the market opportunities and integrate these in our sales and solutioning motions. In response, we are evolving our Talent Communities (TC) and better aligning our pre-sales and solutioning efforts into Practices.

All BGs will have Practices. Practices will help us deliver exceptional value to our clients with repeatable go-to-market services, industry expertise, and market leading capability, and help Avanade grow through winning bigger and more complex engagements that require specialist skills across pre-sales through to solutioning and delivery.

Practices are where Avanade’s employees are ‘homed’. Practices are responsible for building and evolving capabilities in line with market and client needs; attracting, developing, and retaining talent; managing deployment of practitioners, and creating/evolving assets and solutions to reduce the cost of sales, delivery, and operations. Practices also provide sales, solutioning and delivery support to help us win and deliver projects and services to clients.

Employees from Practices are deployed to client accounts, Integrated Go-to-Market Lines of Business and Plays, and a new Integrated Center of Excellence to support sales, solutioning, and delivery efforts in regions.
