Job Description

Come build the solution that connects the dots for Product Launch across Microsoft. As a Principal Technical Program Manager, you will define and deliver a highly visible, cross-division technical solution and program—bringing multiple organizations together to ship an end-to-end capability that improves how teams launch product and how customers experience Microsoft. In this role, you'll drive clarity through ambiguity—shaping strategy, translating complex business and technical needs into crisp requirements, and orchestrating delivery across engineering, operations, and business stakeholders. You'll establish the program roadmap, align dependencies, and lead execution from concept to launch readiness, using data to guide decisions, manage risk, and ensure predictable, high-quality outcomes. Expect to partner deeply across divisions, influence senior leaders, and deliver measurable impact at company scale.

Job Responsibility

  • Own the program strategy and execution plan: define vision, scope, milestones, success metrics, and launch criteria for a complex technical solution spanning multiple divisions
  • Drive cross-organization alignment: build shared clarity across engineering, product, operations, finance, and compliance stakeholders
  • influence decisions and tradeoffs at senior levels
  • Lead end-to-end delivery: translate business goals into technical requirements, coordinate architecture and implementation plans, and ensure teams deliver high-quality outcomes on predictable timelines
  • Orchestrate dependencies, risks, and change: proactively identify blockers, manage partner commitments, and create mitigation plans to keep delivery moving in highly matrixed environments
  • Establish operational rigor: run the program's execution rhythm (reviews, dashboards, decision logs), provide crisp executive communications, and ensure accountability across teams
  • Measure and drive impact: use data and customer/partner feedback to evaluate outcomes, improve adoption, and iterate on the solution to increase business value at scale
  • Embody our Culture and Values

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience
  • 3+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 12+ years experience engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience
  • 8+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects
  • 1+ year(s) of experience reading and/or writing code
  • Experience leading large-scale, end-to-end technical programs that span multiple product groups and deliver measurable outcomes
  • Technical depth in modern cloud services, platform architecture, data/telemetry, and operational readiness
  • Demonstrated ability to establish execution mechanisms
  • Experience partnering with engineering leaders to drive tradeoffs, resolve competing priorities, and unblock teams through influence rather than authority
  • Experience using data-driven experimentation, analysis, and customer/partner insights to inform product decisions and iterate on solutions
