About the role
Microsoft’s M365 Core organization builds foundational platforms that enable Microsoft 365 services to deploy, operate, scale, and evolve safely and efficiently at global scale. The team works at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, deployment and release management, reliability, developer experience, and AI. This Senior Product Manager role will define product vision, strategy, and roadmap for cloud infrastructure and safe deployment platforms, partner with engineering teams, and explore AI-powered and agentic experiences for operating large-scale cloud services.
What you will do
- Define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for foundational cloud infrastructure, deployment, and service-management capabilities.
- Partner deeply with engineering teams to solve complex problems in deployment, release safety, service reliability, infrastructure management, and developer productivity.
- Understand the needs of service engineering teams and translate them into scalable platform capabilities rather than point solutions.
- Build experiences that make it easier and safer for developers to deploy and operate services at cloud scale.
- Use product telemetry, customer feedback, operational signals, and engineering insights to identify opportunities and measure impact.
- Drive adoption of platform capabilities across multiple services and engineering teams.
- Simplify complex technical concepts into clear product priorities, requirements, and executive-level narratives.
- Work across organizational boundaries to align stakeholders, make thoughtful trade-offs, and drive results.
- We are specifically looking for a PM who believes AI and agents can fundamentally change how cloud infrastructure is built and operated.
- Applying AI to operational signals, deployment data, incidents, logs, and engineering knowledge to surface actionable insights.
- Creating intelligent and agentic experiences that help engineers diagnose problems and make better operational decisions.
- Automating repetitive operational and deployment workflows while maintaining appropriate safety and governance.
- Using AI to improve developer productivity and reduce the cognitive load associated with operating complex distributed systems.
- Rapidly prototyping AI-powered experiences with engineering teams and validating them with real users.
- Understanding the strengths and limitations of LLMs, agents, retrieval systems, and emerging AI technologies and translating them into practical product opportunities.
- We are looking for someone who uses AI as an integral part of their own product management workflow, not simply someone who manages an AI feature.
