Although it's no secret that members of Microsoft's leadership frown upon employees who choose an Apple iPhone over one running the company's own Windows Mobile operating system, approximately 1 in 10 still veer towards the forbidden fruit and sometimes go to great lengths to conceal them on the job.

The CSM will be responsible for creating proposals, maintaining and growing client relationships. The CSM will work closely with the DR sales team during the pre-sales process and then will have regular contact with clients during advertising campaigns.
