Headquartered in Sharjah Media City with delivery centers in Cairo, Riyadh, Bangalore, and London, CloudGate provides innovative, end-to-end Microsoft solutions that drive business outcomes.

Recognized for multiple Microsoft accolades, including Advanced Specializations and Copilot Ready accreditation, CloudGate is dedicated to helping organizations modernize securely, optimize operations, and embrace innovation.

Role Description This is a full-time remote role for a senior Data & AI Lead at CloudGate, reporting to the CTO and owning the Data & AI practice end-to-end. The Data & AI Lead combines solution architecture, customer-facing presales, delivery leadership, and people leadership. You will pitch Microsoft Fabric, Copilot, and the broader Data & AI portfolio to enterprise customers across MENA and Africa, and develop industry-specific use cases that position Fabric as the analytics platform for each customer's sector — including real estate, oil & gas, banking, FMCG, manufacturing, and healthcare. You will participate in solution design from the ground up: leading discovery and requirements-gathering sessions, defining technical prerequisites, shaping the scope of work, and producing effort estimations, bills of materials, and pricing models. You will author technical proposals and statements of work (SOWs), architect and oversee delivery of Microsoft Fabric implementations, and grow a team of data engineers, Power BI developers, and AI consultants. This is a senior, accountable role — you own the practice's revenue, delivery quality, and team capability.
