Description
OverviewThe Consumer Marketing organization is leading a major marketing transformation at Microsoft. As artificial intelligence reshapes how customers discover and benefit from technology, we are reinventing how we use data, automation, and connected marketing systems to deliver meaningful customer experiences.
The Consumer Growth Engine (CGE) is Microsoft’s digitally‑centric performance marketing team. CGE brings together data, artificial intelligence, customer insights, creative excellence, and channel execution to deliver relevant, timely, and personalized communications that help customers get value from Microsoft products and services.
Within CGE, the Email Channel is a foundational communication platform — supporting high-volume promotional campaigns, product launches, lifecycle journeys, and essential transactional experiences for millions of customers worldwide.
Role Overview
The Senior Digital Marketing Manager, Email Program Lead is a senior individual contributor role that owns and leads critical consumer email programs end-to-end; spanning lifecycle journeys, product marketing campaigns, seasonal moments, and platform communications across Copilot, Microsoft 365, Windows, and Surface.
This role operates at the intersection of strategy and execution. While hands-on ownership remains essential, the role is accountable for program-level leadership, prioritization, and decision-making within CGE’s Newsroom operating model — a centralized, high-velocity marketing system designed to improve creative quality, expand delivery capacity, and ensure consistent, customer-first communications.
The role partners closely with Product Marketing, Go‑to‑Market, Analytics, Project Management, Legal, Privacy, Accessibility, and Email Operations, serving as the primary owner for program readiness, creative excellence, and launch integrity. The Senior DMM leads complex cross-functional workflows, provides clear creative and operational direction to internal teams and external vendors, and drives fast-paced review cycles with senior stakeholders.
Success in this role requires strong judgment, operational rigor, and comfort navigating ambiguity, as well as the ability to influence without authority and maintain quality at scale.
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.
