Microsoft Security aspires to make the wor Overview Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end to end, simplified solutions. The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft’s mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers’ heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate. 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 Entra's identity platform secures billions of authentications daily — powering sign-in experiences for consumers, enterprises, and developers worldwide. As customer expectations evolve, developers demand fully branded experiences on their own domains, passwordless authentication, and faster integration without sacrificing security. Simultaneously, Microsoft's own applications are converging on a unified sign-in experience across web, mobile, and desktop.   We are looking for a  Senior Product Manager with a  strong sense of ownership and an AI-first mindset to lead the next generation of identity SDKs — defining new product categories that give external developers unprecedented control over their authentication experiences, while also enabling Microsoft's internal app teams to adopt consistent sign-in flows at scale. This is a 0→1 role: you will define, ship, and grow SDK products that don't exist today. You will own outcomes end-to-end — from strategy through execution — and consistently leverage AI to accelerate how developers discover, integrate, and troubleshoot identity.   You will work across external customer scenarios (Entra External ID) and workforce scenarios (Entra ID) including internal first-party scenarios, partnering deeply with platform engineering, UX teams, developer research, and go-to-market to bring new SDK products from concept to adoption.   Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

Today that level of control requires building from scratch.  Define and deliver the SDK that gives customers complete UX ownership while we handle the security and scale underneath. Modern Web Authentication Patterns: Own the SDK strategy for single-page applications and server-rendered web apps. Define how authentication state, client security models, and browser-based authentication work across modern web frameworks (React, Angular, Next.js, ASP.NET Core). Unified Sign-In SDK for First-Party Apps: Own the SDK that enables Microsoft's internal app teams to adopt a consistent, unified sign-in experience across web, mobile, desktop, and browser. Provide integration guidance and adoption playbooks that unblock first-party adoption at scale. Developer Onboarding & Golden Paths: Design the SDK-level onramp for customers adopting Entra External ID for the first time — whether starting greenfield or migrating from another provider.  Create quickstarts and reference architectures that minimize time-to-first-sign-in. Cross-Platform SDK Architecture & Tooling: Drive consistency across web, mobile, and server-side SDKs — shared error models, token lifecycle, telemetry, versioning, CLI tooling, IDE integration, and AI-assisted diagnostics. Ensure the SDK family feels like one product. Workforce Identity SDK Innovation: Extend SDK thinking into enterprise scenarios — ISV multi-tenant integration, B2B collaboration patterns, Conditional Access-aware SDKs, and API protection patterns for Entra ID.  Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 5+ 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 background and Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.   Preferred Qualifications: 3+ years experience shipping developer platforms, SDKs, or API products used by enterprise or consumer-scale developers. 5+ years experience defining product strategy and driving cross-functional execution across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams. Track record building 0→1 developer products — not just iterating existing ones — with full end-to-end ownership from strategy to shipping.  AI-first product thinking: experience using AI to fundamentally reshape developer workflows — not just adding AI as a feature. Deep understanding of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, WebAuthn/passkeys, and modern web security patterns (BFF, SPA security, confidential clients). Experience driving SDK or platform adoption across large application portfolios — spanning both consumer-scale identity (CIAM) and enterprise workforce scenarios.  Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, influence without direct authority, and communicate complex technical decisions to both engineering and business audiences.  Product Management IC4 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $119,800 - $234,700 per year.

May 26 Communications
Senior Director, Campaigns & Advocacy
Redmond, WA $229,700 Overview We are seeking a Senior Director to lead campaigns and advocacy in support of Microsoft’s infrastructure investments, with datacenters, energy, workforce development, and community investmen Overview We are seeking a Senior Director to lead campaigns and advocacy in support of Microsoft’s infrastructure investments, with datacenters, energy, workforce development, and community investment as the primary mandate of this role.   As AI scales rapidly, so does the infrastructure required to support it. The public conversation around that infrastructure is growing in complexity, playing out across communities, statehouses, and federal policy environments at once. Regulatory approvals, rezoning and entitlement processes, legislative outcomes, and community trust are all interconnected, and they are shaped by how well we communicate, organize, and show up.   This role is global in scope, with the United States as the primary and most immediate focus, expanding over time to encompass markets around the world where Microsoft's infrastructure investments are growing. It means building campaigns that reach the right audiences through the right channels, generate visible support in our highest-investment communities, and equip partners, elected officials, and internal teams to engage effectively. It requires fluency across the full campaign toolkit: paid, earned, owned, digital, coalition, surrogate voices, and on-the-ground engagement, knowing how each contributes to advancing projects in the near term and building enduring community trust over time.   The right candidate is a seasoned political and corporate public affairs professional who knows how to design campaigns that win, lead  teams through complex and fast-moving environments, and guide cross-functional teams through high-stakes moments with clarity and strategic discipline.   What Success Looks Like Microsoft advances its investments in datacenters, energy, workforce development, and community programs, supported by coordinated public affairs campaigns that build visible support across the communities and government environments that matter most, in the US and globally. Partners, elected officials, and internal teams are well equipped with clear, compelling materials and engage with confidence. Microsoft’s voice is consistent and credible across every level and every market. Cross-functional teams move through high-stakes moments with clarity and coordination, guided by strong operational leadership and clear strategy. Responsibilities Campaign Strategy and Prioritization Own the strategic framework for how campaign resources, attention, and investment are allocated across an expanding global portfolio. Assess the political, regulatory, and community landscape in each market and design campaigns that build and sustain durable support from the ground up. Translate priorities into campaign architecture: defining objectives by audience, sequencing activity around critical decision points, and selecting the channel mix and partner strategy that will have the greatest impact in each market. Maintain a dynamic view of the full portfolio, surfacing emerging opportunities and pressure points to leadership before they require reactive response.   Multi-Level Campaign Design and Integration Design the campaign framework that works across community, state, and federal environments simultaneously, ensuring that teams engaged at each level are operating from a coherent strategic approach rather than in isolation. Partner closely with Government Affairs to sequence public-facing campaign activity alongside direct policy and legislative engagement, so that community mobilization, coalition activation, and public communications land at the moments that matter most. Track regulatory, entitlement, and legislative calendars across priority markets, building activity that anticipates key decision points rather than reacting to them.   Public Engagement and Visible Support Own the strategy for reaching and moving the broader public, with particular focus on communities where Microsoft’s investments are most significant and where public sentiment most directly shapes outcomes. Design campaigns that build genuine, visible public understanding and support, deploying the right combination of paid media, earned coverage, owned content, digital engagement, coalition activation, and on-the-ground presence. The goal is not just awareness but demonstrated, organized support that decision-makers can see and feel. Develop audience strategies that speak distinctly to elected officials, regulators, community and civic leaders, local influencers, and the general public. Each requires a different message, messenger, and channel. Build and sustain a coalition of third-party validators and community partners that reflects genuine shared interest and amplifies Microsoft’s credibility at the local level.   Materials Development and Partner Enablement Lead the development and dissemination of campaign toolkits, messaging guides, and briefing materials that equip partners, elected officials, community allies, and internal teams to communicate effectively and consistently.
