Microsoft Security is one of the world's largest security organizations — spanning endpoint, identity, cloud, and data security — and one of Microsoft's fastest-growing businesses. Microsoft Security has made a clear commitment: transforming Security Engineering into an AI-first organization that can operate at the pace the threat landscape demands. As part of the Executive Office of the EVP of Microsoft Security, the AI Transformation Leader sits at the center of that transformation. This role is responsible for activating Security Engineering's new AI-first way of working as the standard operating model — and building the programs, rituals, and change infrastructure that make those ways of working durable. The role does not launch initiatives. It installs habits.
Job Responsibility
Activate the New Way of Working
Drive activation of the new AI-first operating model end-to-end: from readiness through team-level adoption, measurement, and iteration, in close partnership with Engineering Executive Sponsor and Engineering Leaders
Partner with engineering managers and VPs to embed AI-first behaviors into operating rhythms, expectations, and management practice
Identify and systematically remove barriers to adoption — organizational, tooling, and behavioral
Build feedback loops that connect adoption reality on the ground back to operating model design and product teams
Build and Run AI Enablement Programs
Design and run the Security Frontier Enablement Lab — a structured environment where engineering teams experiment with AI tools, agents, and workflows in low-risk, high-signal settings
Produce and scale the AI & Agents Hackathon series to surface new use cases, accelerate adoption, and build community around AI-first practice
Run Demo Day as a recurring, visible forum that makes AI-first work celebrated and shared across Security Engineering
Drive Behavior Change at Scale
Translate the new AI-first operating model into clear behavioral expectations that managers can reinforce and engineers can act on immediately
Build change mechanisms that install new habits and sustain them over time
Ensure the internal engineering experience mirrors the AI-first future that Microsoft Security delivers to customers
Measure Adoption and Feed Insight Back
In partnership with Engineering leaders, define and track leading and lagging indicators of AI tool and operating model adoption across Security Engineering
Surface adoption patterns, blockers, and bright spots to senior leaders with decision-ready clarity
Use data to continuously improve programs and sharpen where effort lands next
