Principal Product Manager

Windows powers billions of devices worldwide, and the Windows Insider Program (WIP) is our engineering-driven channel to engage with the most passionate users who help shape the future of Windows. As a Principal Product Manager on the WIP leadership team, you will own the strategy and execution for how Windows ships new experiences and devices, influencing critical engineering decisions and collaborating across engineering, marketing, legal, and leadership. Your primary mission is to evolve Windows release strategies—from feature deployment and hardware enablement to staged rollouts for internal and external audiences. You will own product strategy for release systems, flighting infrastructure, and data platforms, synthesizing inputs from customer feedback, telemetry, technical capabilities, and cross-team plans to determine what ships, when, and how. You’ll collaborate with engineering counterparts to integrate frontier AI capabilities, designing AI agents and leveraging plugin-based protocols to simplify systems and accelerate delivery. Success in this role requires a first-principles mindset, deep technical curiosity, and the ability to translate complexity into actionable engineering plans. You will: - Dive into release pipelines and technical details. - Analyze customer feedback and data to inform strategy. - Communicate vision to executive leadership and public audiences. - Define success metrics and feedback loops that connect customer voice directly to engineering. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of technical depth and strategic clarity, shaping how Windows evolves for billions of users. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals.
