The Windows Enterprise and Security team is building the next generation of platform security for an agentic future. As AI agents become more capable, persistent, and deeply integrated into the Windows experience, security must evolve from application-by-application controls to platform-level identity, containment, governance, and recovery experiences. Windows is investing to become an AI-native operating system while preserving customer trust, user control, and enterprise manageability. We are seeking a Principal Lead Technical Program Manager to drive the product roadmap for security for the Windows agentic platform, AI-powered security experiences inside Windows, and extensions of these security capabilities across the broader Windows application platform. You will be responsible for Managing and developing a small, high-impact team of program managers while also directly shaping product strategy and execution. This role combines strategic leadership, technical depth, and organizational leadership. You will not only define vision and roadmap, but also build team capability, coach PMs, and scale execution across multiple interdependent areas. You will engage with peers and leaders across Windows, Entra, Intune, Microsoft 365, Defender, and other partner teams to shape foundational platform capabilities and deliver differentiated end-user and developer value.
