This is a new kind of experience. We are still learn Overview AI is moving from answering questions to doing work. With Copilot Cowork, people hand off multi-step tasks and expect finished work back. This is a new kind of experience. We are still learning who uses it, what they use it for, which capabilities matter most, where it breaks down, and what makes people come back.  We are looking for a Principal UX Researcher to lead mixed-methods research on Copilot Cowork. You will study how people use it, uncover unmet needs and friction points, and turn that understanding into a better experience. You will bring strong quantitative skills in surveys, behavioral data, and experiments, along with the qualitative craft to see needs and friction firsthand. You will also help run agentic evaluations for Cowork, making sure we measure agent quality against competitors on the work people actually delegate. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with broad influence across Product, Design, Engineering, and Data Science. What success looks like in the first year: Product teams set priorities from an evidence-based picture of Cowork's users, top use cases, and the drivers of retention and drop-off.  A sized, prioritized map of friction points and unmet needs is in place, and the top issues show measurable improvement.  An experience benchmark tracks Cowork across releases using both survey and behavioral metrics.  Agentic evaluations for Cowork run regularly, report competitive win rates, reflect real usage, and inform the quality roadmap.  AI Experiences employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated Microsoft Hub in the U.S. are expected to work from the office at least four days per week. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction. Responsibilities Understand how Cowork is used. Combine telemetry, surveys, and interviews to map who uses Cowork , which tasks they use it for, how usage changes over time, and what separates people who return from those who try it once and leave.   Uncover unmet needs and new opportunities. Lead generative research such as contextual inquiry, diary studies, and in-depth interviews with knowledge workers. Identify the jobs Cowork could own, the capabilities people expect, and the direction the product should take next.   Find and size friction. Identify where people get stuck: discovering Cowork , moving from chat into a task, delegating work, following progress, reviewing outputs, and recovering from mistakes. Quantify how common and costly each friction point is so teams fix the most important problems first.   Assess capabilities against expectations. Measure how well Cowork's capabilities meet what users expect across their real workflows, and identify which capability gaps most limit trust, adoption, and repeat use.   Improve the experience. Partner with Design and Product on concepts, prototypes, and usability studies. Establish an experience benchmark built on attitudinal and behavioral metrics, and measure whether shipped changes actually improve outcomes.   Help run agentic evaluations for Cowork . Contribute to interactive side-by-side evaluations in which users complete representative tasks in Cowork and competing agents. Help design task sets, rubrics, and analysis plans. Ground evaluations in real usage, and turn losses into prioritized fixes that feed the quality roadmap.   Bring quantitative rigor to every question. Design surveys and experiments with sound sampling and enough statistical power. Segment users, model drivers of satisfaction and retention, and connect what people say with what they do. Use AI-assisted analysis to scale research where it helps.   Lead at principal scope. Set the Cowork research agenda with partners, influence roadmap and quality decisions with senior leaders, and communicate uncertainty and tradeoffs clearly. Stay hands-on while mentoring researchers and raising the team's mixed-methods and evaluation craft.   Qualifications Required Qualifications: Doctorate in Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors Engineering, Computer Science, Technical Communications, Information Science, Information Architecture, User Experience Design, Behavioral Science, Social Sciences, or related field AND 3+ years User Experience Research experience OR Master's Degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors Engineering, Computer Science, Technical Communications, Information Science, Information Architecture, User Experience Design, Behavioral Science, Social Sciences, or related field AND 4+ years User Experience Research experience  OR Bachelor's Degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors Engineering, Computer Science, Technical Communications, Information Science, Information Architecture, User Experience Design, Behavioral Science, Social Sciences, or related field AND 6+ years User Experience Research experience OR equivalent experience.

Come help us shape it!   As a Principal Product Manager on the M365 AIOps team,    You will define and drive product strategy for agentic incident management while fostering a culture of experimentation, safety, and operational excellence.    Working at the intersection of large language models, distributed systems, and reliability engineering, you will operate in a fast-paced, highly technical, and highly ambiguous environment where agility, clarity, and bold thinking are essential.    You will translate complex reliability and customer needs into scalable product strategy and set an example for AI-forward product leadership by balancing strategic vision with hands-on execution, and long-term thinking with rapid iteration.   This opportunity will allow you to grow as a product leader while working on capabilities that shape the future of how M365 stays reliable and self-healing.    You will gain hands-on experience shaping the architecture of autonomous agentic AIOps systems at a scale which few teams in the industry can offer.    You will deepen your technical product acumen and strengthen your ability to drive clarity across complex, cross-organizational initiatives spanning M365's most critical services.   Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

Enable agents to generate and test hypotheses, identify emerging failure patterns, and explain customer impact—not simply flag unusual behavior.   Establish standards for agents that retrieve supporting telemetry, reason across signals, and produce traceable findings with clear provenance, scope, timing, confidence, and limitations. Define how AI validates hypotheses, surfaces conflicting evidence, and distinguishes plausible explanations from verified causes.   Define how agents proactively surface, rank, and explain findings within responder workflows. Enable natural-language investigation, context-aware evidence retrieval, and guided next steps so engineers can interrogate conclusions, collaborate with AI, and move from questions to informed decisions faster.   Translate AI-generated diagnoses into agents that plan, recommend, and orchestrate recovery actions—from operator-guided execution to governed autonomy. Define approval gates, execution safeguards, rollback controls, and continuous health verification so agents demonstrate restored service and customer experience, not merely successful action completion.   Convert responder feedback, investigation traces, post-incident reviews, and mitigation outcomes into reusable knowledge, new evaluation cases, and improvements to models and agent workflows. Validate those improvements before expanding autonomy, making diagnosis and recovery more effective without compromising safety.

We build and operate the offline evaluation pl Overview How do you know an AI product is actually getting better—and how do you prove it at scale, before millions of people experience the difference? We build and operate the offline evaluation platform that gates Microsoft Copilot’s quality. Teams across Copilot depend on us to run their scenarios against the product, score the responses, and produce the scorecards that inform what ships. We do this at the scale of one of the world’s largest AI products, within a strict enterprise compliance boundary. As Copilot evolves into a fleet of autonomous agents, the way we measure quality must evolve with it—and you will lead that transformation. As a Principal Software Engineer on the Copilot evaluation team, you will own the technical vision for a platform built AI-first and agent-first: one where autonomous agents are not only measured, but also help operate, extend, and heal the system itself. You will take on our hardest problem: delivering trustworthy results across a deep chain of dependencies—including Copilot’s model, retrieval, and scoring services—that we push far beyond their normal operating envelope, with hundreds of calls per job under relentless and growing load. You will architect how we evaluate agentic Copilot experiences, from multi-turn trajectories and tool selection to end-to-end task outcomes, and set the standard for how the broader product defines and measures quality. This opportunity will allow you to shape the evaluation strategy for one of the world’s most visible AI products, work at the frontier of large-scale agentic systems and reliability engineering, and grow your influence as a technical leader across a large engineering organization. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees, we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day, we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities Sets the technical direction for the Copilot offline evaluation platform and partners with teams across the Copilot organization to turn ambiguous quality questions into rigorous, reproducible evaluations—the scenarios, metrics, and scorecards that gate what ships. Leads the architecture of an AI-first, agentic-first evaluation platform in which autonomous agents are first-class operators, designing the services, pipelines, and tooling that agents can operate, extend, and reason about, with the observability and guardrails required to make agent-driven operation trustworthy. Owns the platform’s hardest challenge: delivering trustworthy results across a deep chain of dependencies pushed far beyond their normal operating envelope, with designs for graceful degradation, intelligent retries, dependency-aware gating, and reliability under sustained and growing load. Defines how Copilot’s agentic experiences are evaluated end to end, from multi-turn trajectories and tool selection to task outcomes and modalities such as UX and voice, building the simulation, scraping, and scoring capabilities needed to make agent behavior measurable. Leads by example and mentors engineers across teams to build extensible, maintainable systems, driving modernization of the evaluation runtime and platform so it can scale with rapidly growing demand while improving cost efficiency and latency. Stays at the forefront of agentic systems, large-scale AI evaluation, and autonomous operations, bringing emerging patterns and practices into the organization and sharing that knowledge to raise the bar for how Copilot measures quality. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience. Other Requirements: Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role.

Principal Product Manager
Redmond, WA $248,400 Overview Work IQ is the intelligence layer for Copilot and agents. Business Applications in Work IQ extends that intelligence beyond productivity data to how the business operates, bringing together Overview Work IQ is the intelligence layer for Copilot and agents. Business Applications in Work IQ extends that intelligence beyond productivity data to how the business operates, bringing together business data, relationships and processes from Dynamics 365, Power Platform and other enterprise systems, with Microsoft Dataverse as a core source. Through semantic models and reusable business skills stored and managed in Dataverse, Copilot and agents can reason across systems and take governed actions, without moving data and while respecting existing security and permissions, so AI moves from answering questions to running end-to-end business processes.  We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead product strategy for the developer experience behind Business Applications in Work IQ and Dataverse. You will set strategy and investment priorities for how pro developers and agents build and administer agentic workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the Agent2Agent protocol (A2A), APIs, SDKs and CLIs. This reaches beyond Microsoft's own tools: you will make Dataverse and Work IQ a first-class choice across the broader pro developer and coding-agent ecosystem. You will nurture and grow the developer portfolio, bringing new scenarios, partners and integrations onto the platform while deepening engagement with developers already building on it.  This Redmond-based role shapes how developers and agents use business context, skills and actions at an important point in the evolution of enterprise AI. It suits a product leader who enjoys making strategic platform choices, building alignment across organizational boundaries, and measuring success through developer and customer outcomes.  Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities Product strategy and roadmap: Define the vision, strategy and roadmap for developer experiences across Business Applications in Work IQ and Dataverse. Own the business outcomes: active usage, consumption growth and revenue.  Persona paths and protocols: For each persona (pro developers, ISVs, makers, coding agents and third-party agents), decide whether they build directly on Dataverse or connect through Work IQ protocols. Design the path from first connection to production across Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Copilot and third-party agents. Build reusable platform capabilities rather than one-off fixes.  Developer ecosystem insight: Track how the pro developer ecosystem is evolving, including coding agents such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Codex, and agent frameworks. Combine hands-on evaluation, developer research and product data to decide where Dataverse and Work IQ should integrate and invest next.  Trust and governance: Make sure customers can trust agents with their business data, through clear admin controls, security and compliance.  Cross-team leadership: Deliver with engineering, the core Dataverse platform team, Dynamics 365 and Power Platform product teams, and Work IQ and Copilot product groups. Bring capabilities to market with marketing, sales and the field, and represent the developer roadmap to customers, partners and senior leaders.  Developer scorecard and tradeoffs: Own the developer scorecard, from first build to production deployment, repeat usage and paid growth. Use it to decide which tools and protocols to invest in, standardize or retire. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 10+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience. Other Requirements: Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 15+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience. 6+ years experience taking a product, feature, or experience to market (e.g., design, addressing product market fit, and launch, internal tool/framework). 8+ years experience improving product metrics for a product, feature, or experience in a market (e.g., growing customer base, expanding customer usage, avoiding customer churn). 8+ years experience disrupting a market for a product, feature, or experience (e.g., competitive disruption, taking the place of an established competing product). Track record of leading strategy for enterprise platform or developer products, from concept to growth. Deep understanding of AI agents and agent protocols such as MCP and A2A, and how they apply to business applications. Strategic thinker with a deep understanding of market dynamics and evolving customer needs. Extensive experience in analytics, experimentation and data storytelling that leads to action. Growth mindset and conviction to do the right thing for users, with excellent communication and leadership skills across teams. Experience with Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Dataverse, Microsoft Copilot or Copilot Studio. Experience with B2B SaaS product management for external customers, including enterprise data security or governance. Deep familiarity with the pro developer and coding-agent ecosystem, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Codex, with hands-on experience building with these tools. Experience working with partners or developer communities. Experience with AI agents, including the product and safety considerations when agents act on business data.

Senior Software Engineer
Redmond, WA $190,400 Overview AI agents are changing how organizations get work done, bringing new demands for reliability, visibility, and trust to the platforms behind them. When an agent spans multiple services, engin Overview AI agents are changing how organizations get work done, bringing new demands for reliability, visibility, and trust to the platforms behind them. When an agent spans multiple services, engineers need to understand where work happened, what failed, and how the underlying platform behaved. That makes telemetry part of the foundation for dependable AI, not just a tool for debugging it. The CoreServices Telemetry team, part of Agent 365 Foundation, builds and operates the telemetry platform for Dataverse, CoreServices Fault Domain Islands, and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. The broader foundation supports Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and a growing set of Copilot and agent workloads. We own the path from signal collection through processing, storage, querying, and alerting, helping teams understand production behavior and measure service health. Our platform spans virtual machines, Service Fabric, and Kubernetes-based Core Services Containers. We bring together logs, metrics, and diagnostic streams through Geneva, Azure Data Explorer (Kusto), and data lake pipelines. We also build tools that make telemetry easier for engineers and AI assistants to discover and use. The challenge is to keep data timely, accurate, accessible, and cost-effective across regions and sovereign clouds while enforcing privacy and data residency boundaries. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build the telemetry and observability foundation behind business applications and emerging agent workloads. This is a hands-on software engineering role: you will write and debug collection and processing services, improve ingestion and query performance, and ship changes safely across a distributed production fleet. You will also help build AI-assisted investigation tools that connect engineers to the right signals and reduce the work of diagnosing incidents. You will own outcomes rather than tickets. That means deciding how a pipeline behaves when a dependency slows down, how to detect missing or delayed data, and how to balance fidelity, latency, retention, and cost. You will defend those decisions with evidence and take part in the on-call Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities Design, implement, and operate telemetry collection and processing services across Dataverse, Service Fabric, Kubernetes, and Finance and Operations. Partner with teams building Copilot and agent workloads to make their platform dependencies observable. Own data quality and pipeline behavior: event schemas, filtering, transformations, routing, ingestion latency, completeness, and recovery from delayed or failed delivery. Make delivery guarantees and failure modes explicit. Build resilience through bounded buffering, backpressure, retries, circuit breakers, and dependency isolation. Validate failure recovery and capacity through automated tests, load testing, and controlled fault injection, without putting source workload availability at risk. Enforce privacy, security, and data residency throughout collection, routing, storage, retention, and access. Build least-privilege controls and auditable operations that respect regional, EU Data Boundary, and sovereign cloud requirements. Improve Azure Data Explorer ingestion and query performance, storage efficiency, and capacity management. Use evidence to balance telemetry coverage and retention against compute, storage, and operational cost, and automate safe deployments and configuration changes. Instrument the telemetry platform itself with actionable health signals and alerts. Drive incident mitigation, root-cause analysis, and lasting repairs; improve the service-health measurements and diagnostic tools that partner teams use to understand customer impact. Partner with service teams on instrumentation, onboarding, query design, and operational readiness. Build self-service tools and documentation, mentor engineers, and raise the engineering bar through design and code review. Build and improve AI-assisted diagnostics and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations that help engineers discover telemetry, generate useful queries, and correlate evidence across services. Evaluate their accuracy and usefulness, respect data-access boundaries, and keep production-changing actions subject to appropriate safe Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience. Other Requirements: Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter. Preferred Qualifications: Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.  Solid software engineering fundamentals, including data structures, concurrency, asynchronous processing, automated testing, and diagnosing performance and reliability problems in production. Practical experience with distributed data processing or telemetry pipelines, including ingestion, buffering, retries, partitioning, data quality, and the tradeoffs between throughput, latency, and cost. Production experience in a modern programming language such as C#, Go, Java, or C++, and the ability to learn the languages and tools used by the team. Demonstrated experience making services resilient under stress, validating failure and recovery behavior, and using logs, metrics, and queries to explain system behavior. Experience operating what you build, including on-call ownership, live-site debugging, and post-incident improvement. Hands-on experience with Azure Data Explorer and KQL, including ingestion, query optimization, retention policies, and managing shared analytics capacity. Experience with observability technologies such as Geneva, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or comparable collection, metrics, and monitoring platforms. Experience operating services on Kubernetes or Service Fabric, building stream-processing or data lake pipelines, and automating infrastructure and deployments in Azure. Familiarity with multi-tenant cloud platforms, privacy-aware data handling, regional data residency, or sovereign cloud operations. Background in capacity planning, telemetry cost optimization, or measuring service health and customer impact in large-scale cloud systems. Experience building AI-assisted developer tools, MCP integrations, or incident investigation automation, including evaluating output quality and applying appropriate access controls and operational safeguards. #CAP #Agent365 #A365 Software Engineering IC4 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $119,800 - $234,700 per year.

Frontier Tools Architect
Multiple Locations, Multiple Locations $154,700 Overview The Frontier Transformation Framework helps our customers become Frontier Firms: organizations where AI is not a tool added to the business but part of the operating system the business runs Overview The Frontier Transformation Framework helps our customers become Frontier Firms: organizations where AI is not a tool added to the business but part of the operating system the business runs on. Every phase of that journey is carried by eight delivery capabilities — Trust and Governance, Frontier Change, Human-Agent System Design, Organizational AI Capability Building, Value Creation and Management, Continuous Improvement, Experience, and Copilot and AI Intelligence Layers. Today these capabilities are delivered largely by people and point solutions. To scale them across every customer, sector, and engagement, they must be productized into a common platform that our teams and our customers can run on. We are seeking a Frontier Tools Architect to build the Agent and Intelligent Platform that enables the eight capabilities to execute with customers. In this role, you will own the product strategy, roadmap, and backlog for the agents, accelerators, and intelligence tooling that turn framework capabilities into repeatable, instrumented software. You will translate how our architects, change practitioners, governance leads, and delivery teams work into platform features — building on Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Agent 365, and grounded in the Work IQ, Fabric IQ, and Foundry IQ intelligence layers — so that what is designed once can be deployed, measured, and improved everywhere. This is a role for people who can move from a delivery-team pain point to a shipped product feature, who are equally credible with an engineering pod and with a transformation lead in front of a customer, and who are energized by turning eight distinct disciplines into one coherent platform. You will decide what to build and what to reuse; you will define the telemetry that proves value; and you will make the platform the fastest, safest way to deliver Frontier Transformation at scale. If you are excited by the opportunity to build the machinery that an entire transformation practice runs on, this role is for you. Responsibilities Core Responsibilities Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Agent and Intelligent Platform, sequencing investment so each of the eight capabilities is progressively productized rather than delivered by hand. Translate the delivery motions of the eight capabilities into reusable platform components — agents, accelerators, templates, connectors, and instrumentation — that teams can deploy directly on customer engagements. Define and manage the platform backlog, writing clear requirements and acceptance criteria, prioritizing against customer impact, reuse potential, and delivery risk. Build on the Microsoft AI platform — Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Agent 365 — and design how the platform consumes the Work IQ, Fabric IQ, and Foundry IQ intelligence layers to give agents personal, operational, and authoritative context. Partner with engineering pods, business architects, human-agent system designers, change practitioners, and governance leads to convert capability blueprints into technical requirements and shipped features. Embed Security into the platform by design — security, compliance, monitoring, and named accountability for agent quality and behavior — so governance evolves alongside capability rather than behind it. Define the telemetry and value metrics the platform captures, so cycle-time, capacity, adoption, and P&L impact are measurable and visible to delivery teams and executive sponsors. Run the operating rhythm for the platform — intake, releases, feedback loops, and a continuous improvement cadence that retires, extends, and hardens components based on real engagement signals. Enable delivery teams and customers to adopt the platform through documentation, patterns, and enablement, so capabilities can be operated and extended independently after the engagement fades. Success in this role looks like: The eight capabilities are increasingly delivered through the platform, reducing the manual effort required on each engagement. Agents, accelerators, and tooling built once are reused across multiple customers and sectors. Platform telemetry quantifies capacity unlocked, cycle-time reduction, and P&L impact, and that evidence is visible to executive sponsors. Governance, security, and accountability controls are built into the platform and satisfy regulated-industry requirements. Delivery teams adopt the platform as the fastest, safest default way to deliver Frontier Transformation, and customers can operate and extend it independently. Qualifications Required/minimum qualifications Master's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in technology solutions, practice development, architecture, consulting, and/or technology domain (e.g., Security) OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in technology solutions, practice development, architecture, consulting, and/or technology domain (e.g., Security) OR equivalent experience. Additional or preferred qualifications Proven track record owning a product or platform from strategy through roadmap, delivery, and adoption. Experience productizing internal or delivery capabilities into reusable, instrumented software used at scale. Understanding of building AI agents and applications, including agent orchestration, tooling, and integration patterns. Ability to translate the needs of delivery, engineering, change, and governance teams into clear product requirements and acceptance criteria. Experience defining product telemetry and value metrics and using them to prioritize investment. Ability to make build-versus-buy-versus-reuse decisions and manage a product portfolio with competing dependencies. Experience working directly with engineering teams and with stakeholders in a customer or executive setting. Working knowledge of the Microsoft AI platform, including Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Agent 365. Understanding of the Work IQ, Fabric IQ, and Foundry IQ intelligence layers and semantic-layer / data-architecture concepts. Experience building or integrating governance, security, and compliance controls into AI products for regulated industries. Familiarity with the disciplines behind the eight capabilities — human-agent system design, change management, value management, and continuous improvement. Experience with platform enablement — documentation, reusable patterns, and capability transfer to delivery teams and customers. Background in software engineering, management consulting, enterprise transformation, or delivery organizations. #FrontierTransformationGroup Solution Architecture IC4 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $101,800 - $193,800 per year.

Nov 03 Product Management
Principal Product Manager - Monetization Product, Privacy
Mountain View, CA $223,500 Overview The Microsoft AI Experiences (AIX) team owns how consent is captured and honored across Ads, Bing, Copilot, Edge, MSN and other products, and how the data behind personalized and generic ads Overview The Microsoft AI Experiences (AIX) team owns how consent is captured and honored across Ads, Bing, Copilot, Edge, MSN and other products, and how the data behind personalized and generic ads is collected and used within the choices users have made. We are hiring a Principal Product Manager to help build the privacy products that Microsoft's consumer monetization runs on.   You'll work on the consent management platform that every consumer surface integrates with and on the services that carry a user's choices to the systems that read them, and you'll look for new privacy-preserving ways to collect, expose, and use data so that ads can be measured and personalized with less personal data. Privacy reviews and assessments stay with our privacy, legal, and policy partners, and most of your days are spent with engineering, data science, and design, writing the requirements and running the experiments yourself.   As a Principal Product Manager , you'll own a defined part of the privacy product roadmap end to end, from PRD through launch and iteration. You'll build ads and AI product intuition, and you'll get a lot of practice weighing how much data a feature needs against what users expect and what regulators allow, in products that hundreds of millions of people use.   Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.   AI Experiences employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated Microsoft Hub in the U.S. are expected to work from the office at least four days per week. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction. Responsibilities Own consent management products end to end, including the consent experiences users see, the SDKs and APIs product teams integrate, and the services that store consent state and pass it to the ads systems that read it. Find and ship privacy-preserving ways to collect and use data for monetization. That could be aggregated or on-device measurement, clean rooms, differential privacy, or better non-personal signals for generic ads, and each idea needs a sized revenue and quality case before engineering commits to it. Run consent flows the way you'd run any consumer funnel, with metrics for consent and opt-out rates, signal coverage, and integration health, and with experiments on the experiences themselves. Make the privacy-correct implementation the easiest one for partner teams to ship, which mostly comes down to clean integrations and good defaults, and track adoption across the surfaces that use your products. Work with privacy, legal, and policy partners to turn GDPR, ePrivacy, US state privacy laws, the DMA, and IAB frameworks like TCF and GPP into product and engineering requirements. Keep partner teams in Ads, Copilot, Edge, and elsewhere informed about dependencies and dates, since most of what you ship ends up inside their products. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 12+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience. Experience shipping consumer or ads products where privacy or consent requirements shaped what got built, such as consent management platforms, identity, ad measurement, or personalization. Working knowledge of privacy-enhancing technologies like aggregation, differential privacy, clean rooms, on-device processing, and pseudonymization, and of how consent signals travel through an ad tech stack. Familiarity with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, the DMA, and IAB TCF and GPP, enough to know what each one means for a product spec. Technical fluency with APIs, SDKs, data pipelines, and experimentation systems, and a track record of using experiment results to make product decisions. Experience shipping work that depends on other teams' roadmaps and keeping it on schedule. #AIX Product Management IC5 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $142,800 - $274,800 per year.

As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.   AI is reshaping how organizations operate, increasing both the pace of innovation and the need for disciplined execution. As AI workloads scale, compute and tokens have become among the largest and most constrained investments in the business, with direct impact on cost of goods sold, margin, and the capacity available for innovation. Microsoft Security sits at the intersection of identity, data, cloud, and AI. Operations & Efficiency builds the operating system for MSEC so engineering leaders can manage the business, make informed trade-offs, and free capacity for innovation in the age of AI. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will connect MSEE’s most important bodies of work into an integrated portfolio, making priorities, dependencies, risks, gaps, and trade-offs visible to leadership. You will design and drive the operating system and rhythm of business used to govern that portfolio, bring together the evidence and stakeholders needed for decisions, and ensure commitments are translated into action and driven through closure. This is not solely a governance or reporting role. You will directly own and drive a selected set of high-priority, cross-cutting strategic initiatives, particularly where the work spans multiple organizations, requires alignment across competing priorities, or needs a leader to bring the pieces together and move the work from ambiguity to execution. You will also set the strategy and governance for how MSEC plans, funds, consumes, and optimizes its Azure compute and AI capacity.   Responsibilities Portfolio Integration & Strategic Initiatives • Connect distinct bodies of work across MSEE into an integrated portfolio, making priorities, dependencies, trade-offs, risks, gaps, and resource implications visible to leadership. • Partner with leaders across MSEC to establish shared portfolio priorities, clarify ownership, and identify where decisions or intervention are needed to keep work moving. • Directly own and drive a selected set of high-priority, cross-cutting strategic initiatives, particularly where execution spans multiple teams or requires someone to bring the pieces together. • Move complex initiatives from ambiguity to execution by defining outcomes, aligning stakeholders, establishing an execution path, and driving commitments through closure. • Surface conflicts and trade-offs early, develop clear recommendations, and escalate decisions at the appropriate leadership level. Portfolio Governance & Decision Management • Establish and run the mechanisms through which MSEC governs its integrated portfolio, with clear accountability, decision rights, operating cadence, escalation paths, commitment tracking, and closure. • Design and evolve the end-to-end rhythm of business, including annual strategy and planning, quarterly business reviews, monthly leadership team reviews, and executive decision forums. • Bring together the evidence, trade-offs, recommendations, and stakeholders required to make decisions at the right level. • Translate leadership decisions into clear actions, owners, milestones, and outcomes, and drive commitments through closure. • Define MSEC leadership scorecards and North Star metrics in partnership with Economics, Analytics & Insights and Finance, spanning business health, execution, workforce, capacity, and COGS performance. • Establish a consistent operating cadence across MSEC divisions so the organization operates as a predictable, connected system.

Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.   Microsoft’s software supply chain is only as strong as the controls that span each step—from code and build to signing, scanning, vaulting, distribution, and licensing—and the Trust and Secure Services (TSS) portfolio is the linchpin that makes that end‑to‑end assurance possible. TSS’s centralized code signing creates a verifiable chain of trust so Windows and other products can block unsigned or tampered code, while multi‑engine malware and vulnerability scanning enforces policy gates and quarantines threats before release; together they prevent compromised artifacts from ever reaching customers. Secure vaulting and controlled distribution ensure only validated, hash‑verified content is published over encrypted channels with entitlement checks, and a unified publishing pipeline keeps those controls consistent across endpoints and clouds. Finally, content protection and licensing entitlement, activation, and cryptographic enforcement to the runtime, protecting both customers and Microsoft’s IP; in short, TSS services are the critical, company‑wide guardrails that keep the supply chain intact, traceable, and resilient against evolving threats.
