Job Description

The Cloud & AI 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 is one of the largest enterprise service companies in the world. Azure Security’s Key Management team is looking for a Principal Product Manager to serve as the General Contractor (GC) for Microsoft’s Post-Quantum Cryptography transition — a company-wide, multi-year program spanning every product family and platform service. Microsoft is accelerating the adoption of quantum-safe cryptography across encryption in transit (TLS), PKI (code signing, secure boot, authentication certificates), and encryption at rest, aligned to the CNSA 2.0 timeline.

Job Responsibility

  • Serve as the General Contractor and PQ Pillar owner for Microsoft’s post-quantum cryptography transition, driving end-to-end program execution across all product families and divisions
  • Partner with the PQ Principal PM Architect and the Principal Group PM Manager to translate technical strategy into program roadmaps, work item definitions, dependency maps, and sequenced execution plans across three priority scenarios: encryption in transit (TLS), PKI (code signing, secure boot, authentication certificates), and encryption at rest
  • Establish and run the PQ rhythm of business (ROBs), including milestone tracking, executive status reporting, scorecards, and regular business reviews with SLT members, expanding the review cadence as additional scenarios come online
  • Define KPIs and accountability frameworks that make PQ adoption measurable across dozens of engineering teams, and hold divisions accountable to committed timelines
  • Work closely with Azure Security Ops to drive PQ prerequisite adoption through existing compliance and security programs, and coordinate with service teams to sequence deployments so dependencies are resolved before teams are asked to move
  • Represent the PQ program in business forums, leadership reviews, and cross-company governance meetings, serving as the single point of contact for program status and escalations
  • Communicate milestone wins to the field and to customers, supporting RFPs, governance requirements, and compliance readiness

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience
  • The 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 Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter
  • Bachelor's Degree AND 12+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience
  • 4+ years experience taking a product, feature, or experience to market (e.g., design, addressing product market fit, and launch, internal tool/framework)
  • 6+ years experience improving product metrics for a product, feature, or experience in a market (e.g., growing customer base, expanding customer usage, avoiding customer churn)
  • 6+ years experience disrupting a market for a product, feature, or experience (e.g., competitive disruption, taking the place of an established competing product)
  • Proven experience running large-scale, cross-organizational programs as a general contractor or program lead, including setting up ROBs, KPIs, scorecards, and executive reporting for initiatives spanning multiple divisions
  • Familiarity with post-quantum cryptography concepts, NIST PQC standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA), CNSA 2.0 timelines, or cryptographic migration programs
  • Experience working within or alongside governance bodies (such as a crypto board, security standards council, or compliance program like SFI or SDL) to drive enterprise-wide adoption
  • Background in Azure, cloud platform services, or Microsoft’s internal security and compliance ecosystem
  • Experience communicating competitive positioning and technical roadmaps to customers, field teams, or in response to RFPs and audit requests
