Principal Product Manager - Competitive Strategist

Windows powers over 1.4 billion devices globally and anchors the commercial PC ecosystem—spanning OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) partners, enterprise customers, education, public sector, MSPs, ISVs, and silicon providers. The Windows organization drives innovation across client platforms, commercial strategy, and ecosystem partnerships. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager - Competitive Strategist to lead competitive intelligence and signal routing for competitors ecosystem. This role ensures Microsoft has a real-time, data-backed understanding of how and where competive hardware is gaining ground—and turns that awareness into targeted action across product, OEM, and commercial teams. This is a high-impact, horizontal role reporting to the CVP of Windows Ecosystem & Engagement, operating across engineering, commercial insights, and partner strategy. What Success Looks Like: • Microsoft knows where competition is gaining ground—before it shows in market share. • OEM, engineering, and commercial leaders have actionable clarity, not just reports. • Competitive insight informs roadmaps, device portfolio decisions, and partner motions. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on ambiguity, seeks patterns in complex data, and drives impact through insight. If you’re ready to shape how Microsoft competes in a rapidly evolving ecosystem, we’d love to hear from you.
