Director - AI Strategy

As part of the Office of the CEO, we are now doing it again with AI, which has emerged as the next big platform shift. In partnership with Microsoft leadership, we are focused on Microsoft’s AI strategy across the 3 key layers Infrastructure, Platform, Applications/Agents. Broadly speaking, this work falls into three categories: Thought leadership on the major shifts in the technology industry; Rethink the ‘Economics of AI’ across all layers of AI; Translating AI strategy into product reality across our portfolio: Infrastructure, Platform, Applications, Copilots & Agents. This includes both organic product strategy and targeted M&A (the team wrote the business case for the GitHub and Nuance acquisitions). This team has always valued questioning the status quo and truth-seeking. We’re looking for a Director - AI Strategy who shares that mindset, is passionate about technology, and brings deep curiosity and high IQ horsepower. Ideal candidates are eager to make an impact and come from strategy/consulting or product management/product architecture backgrounds. You will play a key role in not only the transformation of one of the world’s largest software companies but also in transforming whole industries as we help customers chart their AI journey. You’ll contribute to the team’s projects with your expertise and experience while also being a strategic advisor who looks across the portfolio of Microsoft’s products and influences the direction of Microsoft’s current and future products. This position requires relocation to the Seattle/Redmond area to co-locate with the team x3/week.
