Principal Program Manager

The Microsoft Security Office of the CTO drives the long-term technical and strategic direction of Microsoft Security, identifying and incubating the capabilities required to protect organizations worldwide against rapidly evolving threats. The team operates at the intersection of deep technical credibility, cross-portfolio strategy, and executive influence—shaping initiatives that redefine how security is built, adopted, and scaled across Microsoft. As a Principal Program Manager for Strategic Innovation, you will operate as a senior individual contributor within the Office of the CTO, responsible for identifying, shaping, and driving portfolio-level security incubations focused on Security for AI and GenAI-driven defense. This role owns highly ambiguous and high-impact problem spaces, working closely with product and engineering organizations primarily based in the United States and Israel to translate emerging AI-driven risks into executable strategies, validated technical directions, and cross-organizational roadmaps that deliver CISO-grade outcomes. The role requires hands-on engagement with distributed teams and frequent travel to collaborate effectively with partners across regions. 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. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
