Apr 06 Technical Program Management
Member of Technical Staff - Technical Program Manager
Redmond, WA $222,050 Overview Copilot is evolving into an agentic system that can plan, reason, and execute actions across tools, data, and services. Securing such a system cannot rely on static controls, offline review, Overview Copilot is evolving into an agentic system that can plan, reason, and execute actions across tools, data, and services. Securing such a system cannot rely on static controls, offline review, or policy‑only enforcement. It requires runtime defenses that adapt to intent, behavior, and context as the system operates. Copilot Security and Privacy is responsible for building these defenses directly into Copilot. Our work focuses on new security primitives for agentic AI, including runtime misuse detection, adaptive guardrails, containment and isolation mechanisms, and feedback‑driven control systems informed by offensive security research. We are hiring a Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to own the end‑to‑end delivery of these capabilities. This is a deeply technical execution role for someone who can operate at the boundary of security engineering, AI research, and platform systems—turning ambiguous threat models into shippable, operable defenses deployed in a globally scaled AI product. This role is not about process, governance, or coordination. The TPM is accountable for making complex systems land in production, under real‑world adversarial pressure. Most security roles protect systems after they exist. This role helps define how agentic AI systems defend themselves while they operate. You will shape how Copilot detects misuse, enforces boundaries, and recovers safely in real time—working directly on the mechanisms that make autonomy deployable at global scale. The impact is immediate, technical, and measurable in production behavior. If you want to operate where AI systems, security engineering, and execution reality intersect, this role offers that surface area—without turning you into a policy owner or process layer. 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.   Starting January 26, 2026, Microsoft AI (MAI) employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated Microsoft office in the U.S. or 25-mile commute of a non-U.S., country-specific location 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 Delivery of In‑Product AI Threat Defenses Lead execution of runtime threat defense capabilities embedded directly into Copilot execution paths, not layered on externally. Drive delivery of detection, prevention, and containment mechanisms that operate synchronously and adaptively as agents reason and act. Ensure defenses are designed as control systems with clear signals, enforcement points, and feedback loops. Translate Threat Models into Executable Systems Take emerging and ambiguous agentic AI threat models—including misuse, escalation, and information‑flow risks—and convert them into concrete engineering plans. Partner with security engineers and researchers to translate offensive security insights and red‑team findings into production features. Make judgment calls about enforcement boundaries, degradation strategies, and isolation guarantees. Drive Cross‑Cutting Technical Execution Coordinate delivery across security engineering, AI research, platform/runtime teams, and Copilot product surfaces. Own dependency management, sequencing, and delivery risk for systems that are tightly coupled and cannot be built independently. Resolve technical and organizational tradeoffs where ownership boundaries are unclear and failure modes are novel. Ensure Operability at Runtime Define what “working” means for threat defenses: detection quality, false‑positive tolerance, performance impact, and blast‑radius containment. Ensure defenses are measurable, testable, and observable in production. Lead learning loops from live incidents, near‑misses, and adversarial testing back into system design. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience. 3+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 12+ years experience engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience. Proven ability to lead execution in high‑ambiguity environments where requirements, threats, and system behavior evolve rapidly. Solid systems thinking: ability to reason about execution paths, failure modes, and adversarial behavior. Track record of making sound technical tradeoffs and shipping durable solutions without relying on heavy process. Background in security engineering, distributed systems, applied research, or ML systems prior to or alongside TPM work. Experience delivering runtime detection, abuse prevention, or adaptive enforcement systems. Familiarity with agentic AI systems, LLM‑based products, or non‑deterministic execution environments. Experience partnering closely with offensive security or red‑team functions. Demonstrated ability to translate research, prototypes, or threat models into production‑grade systems. Solid analytical skills, including working with telemetry, signals, and feedback loops. #MicrosoftAI #MAIDPS Technical Program Management IC5 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $139,900 - $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. In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.   Role Summary The Senior Operations Manager, Cross‑Org Security Operating Model & Partnerships, is accountable for clarifying and operationalizing the interfaces between Cyber Defense Operations (CDO) organizations and the broader ecosystem of stakeholders across the CISO organization and adjacent partner teams. The role is the single-threaded owner for a portfolio of cross‑functional relationships and programs, ensuring they are executed with clear operating models, decision rights, escalation paths, and engagement norms—especially at “incident pace,” where ambiguity creates risk. This role ensures that cross-company work does not degrade into ad‑hoc “who owns what” debates but instead follows defined constructs that distinguish security risk ownership from operational execution, with measurable outcomes and durable governance.   CDO/Ops Hub and partner organizations often move at different speeds, with different mandates, which can lead to unclear handoffs, role confusion, and slower response—particularly during high-severity incidents and complex cross-org programs.This role exists to eliminate ambiguity by translating “RACI on paper” into lived, repeatable operating behavior, and by upgrading partner engagement structures, so coordination is predictable and fast. This role partners across: CDO/Ops Hub functions that coordinate incident response and enforce cross-company process/routing. CISO organization stakeholders involved in incident response, decision-making, and governance constructs. Post‑incident review and process partners where handoffs and ownership must be explicit. Engineering/Product/Compliance partners involved in risk and remediation execution models (operating model emphasis on common language, responsibility clarity).   Core Deliverables: Cross‑Org Operating Model Playbook: clear scope, decision rights, RACI, escalation paths, engagement norms. Partner Engagement Plans for priority stakeholders: cadence, artifacts, shared tooling, and issue-resolution mechanisms. Handoff Contracts / Interface Maps: explicit “start/stop” responsibility boundaries for key workflows (incidents, PIRs, audit requests, comms, etc.). Executive‑Ready Briefs: decision memos and status updates grounded in defined constructs and measurable outcomes.   Success Measures: Measured outcomes should reflect clarity, speed, and reduced friction, such as: Partner teams can articulate where responsibility starts/stops, and incidents execute with fewer ownership disputes. Reduction in partner confusion flagged as a blocker during high‑severity incidents (tracked through partner relationship upgrade metrics). Improved consistency and predictability of cross‑org handoffs (e.g., PIR ownership clarity, documentation standardization, streamlined handoff process). Increased adoption of standard engagement frameworks (fewer side channels; better planning/lead time discipline). Responsibilities Key Responsibilities:   1) Operating Model Ownership: Define “Who Owns What” (and Make It Real) Define and maintain clear ownership boundaries and “handoff contracts” across teams (e.g., what CDO/Ops Hub owns vs. what partner orgs own). Translate abstract RACI into operational execution behaviors under pressure (e.g., incident declaration, response strategy, comms lanes, escalation). Ensure operating models distinguish security risk ownership from execution, reducing duplication and conflicting authority.   2) Partner Relationship “Portfolio” Management (Business + Security Stakeholders) Build and run a structured portfolio of partner relationships, including engagement plans, shared artifacts, and regular sync mechanisms (“infrastructure to support collaboration”). Drive targeted relationship upgrades with prioritized partners to reduce confusion during incidents and cross-org execution. Establish predictable engagement pathways (intake, routing, escalation) so teams know how to work together without side-channeling.   3) Cross‑Functional Program Delivery with Clarity and Governance Own the governance layer for cross-org programs: program charters, RACI, decision logs, escalation routes, and “definition of done” criteria. Ensure partner dependencies and obligations (audit, compliance, PIR handoffs, etc.) are executed through defined constructs—not ad‑hoc heroics.   4) Incident‑Pace Interface Clarity (Especially for Executive + Crisis Moments) Ensure the right roles engage at the right time (e.g., Incident Coordinator vs. dCISO vs. CISO vs. business leaders) and that escalation paths remain unambiguous. Reduce friction by clarifying comms lanes and decision ownership during incidents (including executive communication expectations and “who speaks for whom”).   5) Continuous Improvement of Handoffs, Procedures, and “Seams” Own improvements to the core procedures governing handoffs and interaction points between CDO and partner teams (including engagement “rolodex” patterns). Use partner feedback and retrospectives to systematically reduce recurring confusion, delays, and duplicated effort.   6) Executive Readouts & Decision Support Translate complex operational realities into clear executive decision points, tradeoffs, and recommendations. Provide crisp, cross‑org narratives on what is working, where ownership is breaking down, and what must change to reduce risk and accelerate outcome s. Qualifications Required Qualifications:  Doctorate in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field AND 3+ years experience in software development lifecycle, large-scale computing, threat modeling, cyber security, anomaly detection, Security Operations Center (SOC) detection, threat analytics, security incident and event management (SIEM), information technology (IT), or operations incident response OR Master's Degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field AND 4+ years experience in software development lifecycle, large-scale computing, threat modeling, cyber security, anomaly detection, Security Operations Center (SOC) detection, threat analytics, security incident and event management (SIEM), information technology (IT), or operations incident response OR Bachelor's Degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field AND 6+ years experience in software development lifecycle, large-scale computing, threat modeling, cyber security, anomaly detection, Security Operations Center (SOC) detection, threat analytics, security incident and event management (SIEM), information technology (IT), or operations incident response OR equivalent experience.    Other Requirements: Candidates must be able 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: Experience operating in incident response / cyber defense environments where “incident pace” and role clarity are essential. Experience working with security governance models that distinguish risk ownership from execution, and managing the seams between them. Demonstrated experience designing and operationalizing cross‑org operating models, including RACI, decision rights, escalation, and governance forums. Proven ability to run a portfolio of stakeholder relationships and drive structured collaboration frameworks that reduce friction. Strong executive communication: ability to synthesize ambiguity into crisp narratives and decision points.

Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world. Microsoft is one of the largest enterprise service companies in the world.   The  Senior Security Operations Engineer in IAM Protect is a hands on technical contributor responsible for protecting Microsoft’s identity infrastructure through detection, investigation, and mitigation of identity related security risks. This role operates at the intersection of identity security, security operations, and engineering, with a focus on reducing real world risk across Microsoft’s production and productivity tenants.   This Senior Security Operations Engineer works on high impact Identity and Access Management (IAM) security problem spaces such as privileged access misuse, application and service identity risk, tenant isolation, abnormal sign in behavior, and control gaps surfaced through incidents, threat intelligence, and security Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The role partners closely with Security Technical Program Managers (TPM), IAM engineering teams, insider risk, and incident response to translate ambiguous risk signals into concrete operational actions and durable fixes. This role will be focused on shaping the app ecosystem security and tenant governance programs.   At the senior level, this role is expected to independently own defined problem areas, exercise strong security judgment, and drive investigations and remediation with limited oversight. The Senior Security Operations Engineer contributes to improving the operational maturity of IAM Protect by strengthening detections, clarifying response paths, improving telemetry, and influencing engineering changes that prevent recurrence - not just responding to individual events.   This role supports evolving security initiatives informed by active threat assessments within the Tenant Isolation and Secure Futures Initiative (SFI) workstreams and plays a direct role in protecting Microsoft’s most sensitive identity surfaces.   Starting February, 2026, Microsoft employees are expected to work from a designated Microsoft office at least three days a week if they live within 50 miles (U.S.) or 25 miles (non-U.S., country-specific) of that location.

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.   In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day. Responsibilities Security Operations Ownership Own defined IAM security operations problem spaces (e.g., privileged access misuse, tenant isolation gaps, application and service identity risk, conditional access enforcement). Lead investigations into identity‑related security signals, alerts, and escalations, determining root cause, impact, and appropriate mitigation plans. Drive containment and remediation actions in partnership with incident response, IAM engineering, and security partners.   Detection, Investigation & Response Analyze IAM telemetry, alerts, KPIs, and incident data to identify abnormal behavior, control gaps, and emerging risk patterns. Improve detection quality by reducing noise, tuning thresholds, and validating coverage against known attack paths and threat intelligence. As needed, participate in incident response, including triage, mitigation, post‑incident analysis, and follow‑up actions to prevent recurrence.   Execution & Risk Reduction Translate ambiguous security findings into concrete operational actions, engineering asks, or policy recommendations. Partner with TPMs and engineering teams to ensure security requirements are operationally viable and enforced at scale. Validate that mitigations and controls are effective through data, telemetry, and follow‑up verification.   Automation & Operational Maturity Identify opportunities to automate repetitive security operations workflows and reduce manual touchpoints. Contribute to improvements in tooling, data pipelines, and operational processes that increase reliability and scalability. Leverage data and metrics to prioritize work and demonstrate risk reduction impact.   Cross‑Team Collaboration Work closely with IAM engineering, Security TPMs, insider risk, compliance, and other security teams to align on response paths and ownership. Provide operational input into program and design discussions to ensure security controls are practical and durable. Share findings, patterns, and lessons learned to improve collective understanding of identity‑related risk.   Continuous Improvement & Craft Perform post‑incident and post‑investigation analysis to identify systemic issues and improvement opportunities.

Mar 31 Account Technology
Strategic Account Technology Strategist
Multiple Locations, Multiple Locations $201,600 Overview This position requires a rare combination of qualifications. We are looking for a senior technologist with demonstrated hands-on experience building and delivering enterprise solutions — som Overview This position requires a rare combination of qualifications. We are looking for a senior technologist with demonstrated hands-on experience building and delivering enterprise solutions — someone who has led cloud migrations, designed application architectures, and worked at the delivery level — and who has equally developed the executive presence and strategic acumen to advise senior government leaders on technology transformation. This is not a traditional technical sales role, nor is it a purely advisory one. The Account Technology Strategist is the most senior technical voice in the account and is directly accountable for driving technology adoption and revenue outcomes within their portfolio. The right candidate understands that credibility is what opens doors and execution is what closes them — and they are as comfortable owning a number as they are owning a room. This is also a high-tempo role. Federal technology transformation is rarely linear — it involves competing priorities, complex stakeholder environments, procurement obstacles, and delivery challenges that require someone who can operate strategically and respond decisively when things do not go as planned. The ability to think long-term while managing short-term urgency is not a nice-to-have — it is a daily requirement. This role sits within Microsoft Federal's Health & Scientific Missions team, which supports technology transformation across some of the most complex and consequential agencies in the federal government. The scope of impact is significant, and the expectations are commensurate.   Microsoft is on a mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. Growth mindset encourages each of us to lean in and learn what matters most to our customers, to create the foundational knowledge that enables us to make customer-first decisions in everything we do. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world. You can help us achieve our mission.   Responsibilities Technical Sales Leadership and Business Outcomes Own accountability for technology adoption and revenue outcomes within the assigned portfolio, working in close partnership with the Account Director. Drive opportunities from early-stage technical discovery through solution design, acquisition support, and delivery oversight — ensuring they are architecturally sound and commercially executable. Manage competing priorities across multiple accounts and stakeholders simultaneously, maintaining momentum on strategic initiatives while responding to near-term escalations and delivery challenges. Win business through technical authority and demonstrated commitment to the customer's mission success — building the kind of trust that accelerates decisions and sustains long-term partnerships. Executive-Level Technology Advisory Serve as the primary technology advisor to senior IT and program leadership, building and sustaining relationships at the CIO, CTO, CDO, and senior program executive level. Translate mission priorities, enterprise constraints, and agency goals into a multi-year technology and architecture roadmap that is realistic to fund, procure, and execute. Lead executive envisioning and briefing sessions that go beyond presentation — bringing live demonstrations, concrete architecture options, and a substantive point of view that helps senior leaders make confident, informed decisions about AI and cloud adoption at scale. Solution Architecture and Technical Integrity Work on cross-platform solution architectures integrating Azure infrastructure, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Copilot, and application development into a coherent, mission-aligned technology strategy. Demonstrate capabilities live — in the portal, on the whiteboard, or in the wireframe — and deliver artifacts or translate so that delivery teams can actually build from. Maintain technical integrity across the account. When delivery teams — whether internal CSU, ISD, or external systems integrators — are building solutions that have drifted from the customer's best interest, this role has both the authority and the obligation to redirect them. That credibility must be earned through demonstrated expertise. Identify and resolve technical blockers quickly — this role is expected to be a problem-solver in real time, not just a long-range strategist. AI-First Engagement Champion AI integration across every engagement — helping customers understand how AI changes what is possible for their specific mission and building a practical, phased adoption path grounded in their existing environment and procurement realities. Demonstrate fluency across Copilot, Azure AI, Power Platform AI capabilities, and the integration of AI across application development and data architecture. Cross-Functional Orchestration Lead and coordinate the full virtual account team — specialist sellers, Global Black Belts, Customer Success, ISV partners, and systems integrators — through all phases of engagement. Serve as the technical authority that ensures every contributor is aligned to the customer's architecture strategy and mission outcome. Navigate ambiguity and organizational complexity — internally and within the customer environment — to keep programs on track and stakeholders aligned. Qualifications Required/minimum qualifications Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Business or related field OR equivalent experience.  6+ years technical consulting, technical consultative selling, business consulting, practice building, or related technical/sales experience    Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.     Citizenship & Citizenship Verification:  This position requires verification of U.S. citizenship due to citizenship-based legal restrictions. Specifically, this position supports United States federal, state, and/or local United States government agency customer and is subject to certain citizenship-based restrictions where required or permitted by applicable law. To meet this legal requirement, citizenship will be verified via a valid passport, or other approved documents, or verified US government Clearance      Additional or preferred qualifications Experience leading or executing cloud migration and enterprise modernization programs is desired — candidates should be able to speak to specific programs they have personally led or been deeply involved in. Application development background or working knowledge of AI integration, solution design, and what it takes to move from architecture to deployed capability is desired. Cross-platform technical fluency across Azure infrastructure, Power Platform, Microsoft 365 and Copilot, and enterprise application development. Demonstrated experience driving technology adoption and contributing to outcomes in a complex federal sales or advisory environment. Proven ability to build and sustain senior relationships within complex federal organizations, including at the SES, CIO, and program executive level. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.
