Description
OverviewThe Microsoft Customer and Partner Solutions (MCAPS) AI Transformation Office (AITO) is driving a fundamental shift in how Microsoft’s commercial business operates—enabling sellers to accelerate their own AI transformation with credibility and trust built from our experience as customer zero.

This role focuses on advising and practicing change in the agentic age. The individual will work with peers and leadership to advance the human-centered change strategy—developing change interventions and impactful experiences for critical roles, functions, and moments that matter—as AI and automation transform how work is done across Microsoft Customer and Partner Solutions.
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.
