About Avanade

Together we go beyond.

Avanade has been around for more than two decades, but we have the energy of someone who has just shown up and seen how much there is to do. So many opportunities to innovate within the Microsoft ecosystem. So much to learn and explore. And so many people who share our ambitions for making a genuine human impact.

Avanade welcomes curiosity. We explore possibilities with our clients every day. We are curious about how different experiences and backgrounds shape who we are and how we view the world. And we’re always looking for people who are not just curious about the boundaries of technology—which we keep pushing—but about their own possibilities as well. Where could your career take you if you were surrounded by meaningful work, solid support and endless learning opportunities? We want to help you find out.

Life at Avanade

Be your best self and do your best work.

Distinctive experiences. Limitless learning. Ambitious growth. That’s what you get when you choose to join and build your career at Avanade. Step into a flexible, people-first environment that empowers you to be yourself, do your best work, and accomplish amazing things.

Life comes first.

There’s more to life than work. We’re great at what we do because we’re out in the world, experiencing all it has to offer. We know the joy of family dinners, the thrill of outdoor adventures, the connection of volunteering in our communities and the importance of self-care. We can’t be who we are without a flexible culture that allows us to log on when and where we work best. Because we know our best self does our best work. That's why Avanade embraces a human-focused, flexible approach, centred on choice and individual preference when it comes to where, when, and how we work. Together, we're creating a globally consistent employee experience that underpins our commitment to creating a culture for growth that puts our people first.  

We grow YOU.

We believe becoming is superior to being. Nice words, but what does that mean exactly? None of us are ever done learning, and if you’re at Avanade, you have a natural drive to explore what’s beyond your comfort zone. We cultivate that drive through training and certification opportunities. Whether you’re interested in learning something new or growing an existing skill, we have the resources to make it happen.

Inclusion & diversity at Avanade

Diverse teams and an inclusive environment are critical to innovation and future growth. Our mission is to create an environment where employees can do their best work, and diverse perspectives spur innovation and growth for our clients and people. We are proud to be a pioneer in combining emerging technologies and human ingenuity to change things for the better and build diverse communities worldwide.

Avanade has pursued a deliberate and purpose-driven strategy around inclusion & diversity (I&D) since our founding in 2000. It started with our focus on a challenge that we face: the lack of women in the technology industry. To address that, we had to go to the root of the problem, which was attracting girls and young women to STEM, offering scholarships and creating programs like the Avanade STEM Scholarship, which offers internships, mentoring and a support network to help recipients achieve their education and career growth.

In the last two decades, our I&D strategy has grown broader and deeper, taking on an intersectional lens. If our inclusive culture doesn’t consider all races, gender identities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, disabilities, ages, religions – all people and all phases of life – it falls short. But our earliest aim, breaking down the bias that exists in tech so that more women and girls are comfortable and confident jumping into the industry, is still central to what we do.
