Description
OverviewMicrosoft AI (MAI) is building AI‑powered, content‑driven experiences used by hundreds of millions of people globally. Our products sit at the intersection of consumers, publishers, creators, advertisers, and sales partners—and increasingly require clear articulation of how and why we make product decisions, not just what we ship.

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.

Ensure audience narratives are consistent, grounded in reality, and usable across GTM motions. Partner deeply with Sales on positioning and revenue growth Work with Sales to define new brand and product positioning, particularly for emerging monetization and ad products. Translate product capabilities into sales‑ready narratives that support revenue growth without distorting product truth. Act as a strategic thought partner to Sales leadership on how MAI offerings should be framed in market. Shape MAI Content’s internal and external communications channels Develop narratives for internal and external communication about our product strategy, roadmap and how it connects to the values of journalism and quality content. Ensure consistency between our team and MAI / MSFT core narratives.
