Principal Product Manager Job at Microsoft Corporation (Redmond)

Job Description

Microsoft Edge serves hundreds of millions of users who expect a browser that is fast, reliable, accessible, and trustworthy. The Edge Fundamentals PM team owns the horizontal, cross-cutting work that keeps the core browser healthy: quality and reliability, performance and efficiency, feature-health monitoring, and the user-experience improvements that drive long-term retention. We are hiring a Principal PM Manager to lead this team. You will set strategy and mission plans across planning cycles, define clear ownership and success metrics, coach a team of product managers, and partner deeply with engineering, design, and partner teams across Edge, Windows, and MAI to ensure the platform stays high-quality and performant at scale.

Lead, coach, and grow a team of PMs
review execution quality, define DRIs, and ensure every workstream has clear scope, success metrics, and resourcing.
Own the browser quality, reliability, and service-maturity agenda — telemetry-driven quality loops, regression detection, pre-merge quality gates, backlog and AI-driven debt reduction, and test-coverage improvements.
Drive performance and efficiency initiatives (e.g., memory/efficiency features such as Sleeping Tabs, performance instrumentation and analysis), prioritizing correctly across the org and defining clear success criteria.

Act as the DRI-level owner for retention, aligning performance, reliability, and UX quality with customer-satisfaction and retention goals.
Steward accessibility, advise on privacy product-vs-risk tradeoffs, and coordinate globalization and Windows-integration asks with engineering.
