Job Description:

Our team is responsible for driving product‑led growth for Microsoft Purview in the SMB and SMC segments by making data protection simple to adopt, easy to scale, and valuable by default. We focus on building automation‑first protection packaging, multi‑tenant and partner‑admin experiences, and lightweight AI‑powered capabilities that reduce configuration effort while increasing trust and clarity for customers and partners. The team works closely with engineering, research, MCAPS, IDEAS, and ecosystem partners to enable near‑zero‑friction activation, strong product hooks across Microsoft 365 workloads, and scalable partner‑led deployment and management. Our goal is to translate enterprise‑grade data protection into intuitive, repeatable experiences that help SMB customers protect their data and adopt AI safely—without requiring deep security expertise—while enabling partners to deliver and manage Purview at scale.

Job Responsibility:

Lead the design and delivery of AI-native, secure-by-default protection experiences that scale from SMB/ SMC to enterprise, with a strong focus on partner-led growth
Define how Microsoft packages and auto-orchestrates data protection across M365 workloads—building adaptive protection baselines, multi-tenant deployment rails for MSP/CSP ecosystems, and intelligent automation that removes admin friction while maintaining safety and reliability
Operate at the intersection of AI, security, and platform scale, shaping cross-workload integrations, driving end-to-end experiences (UX + services + telemetry), and establishing the systems architecture that enables near-zero-touch activation and measurable adoption lift across millions of tenants

Requirements:

10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives in SaaS or platform environments
Demonstrated track record of defining and delivering 0→1 capabilities or platform-scale systems — not just incremental feature iterations
Strong technical fluency in distributed systems, automation, orchestration, and/or multi-tenant architectures
Experience building AI-driven, signal-based, or adaptive product experiences
Deep understanding of cybersecurity or data security landscapes, particularly in enterprise SaaS or partner ecosystems, preferred
Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments and translate strategy into clear, executable roadmaps
Proven success driving alignment across engineering, design, business, and partner stakeholders without direct authority
Strong product judgment around usability, operational simplicity, reliability, and safe-by-default design
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to influence senior leadership
