Principal TPM Manager

Do you enjoy meeting with customers to understand their needs and to discuss the art of the possible? Do you enjoy turning those needs into reusable accelerators to help future customers and the teams working with them? Do you have experience with the support and governance of successful open-source projects and their communities? Do you enjoy coaching engineering teams? Then, come join us! The Industry Solutions Engineering (ISE) team is a global forward deployed engineering (FDE) organization that works directly with customers looking to leverage the latest technologies to address their toughest challenges. We scale through AI-powered hypervelocity engineering (HVE), including a collection of industry-specific and horizontal AI solution accelerators. We work closely with our customers' engineers to jointly develop code for cloud-based solutions that can accelerate their organization. We work in collaboration with Microsoft product teams, partners, and open-source communities to empower our customers to do more with the cloud. We develop solutions side-by-side with our customers through collaborative innovation to solve their challenges. This work involves the development of broadly applicable, high-impact solution patterns and open-source software assets that contribute to the Microsoft platform. We are hiring a Principal TPM Manager to lead a team of technical program managers (TPMs) as they work with software engineering teams to help drive high-impact engineering projects with our customers and their partners, transforming their missions using AI and other cloud-based solutions and services. Each TPM works closely with a dev lead to co-lead a cross-functional team of software engineers, data scientists and designers, fulfilling the Product Owner role. TPMs identify and define the relevant customer scenarios, orchestrate the engineering approach to address these, and develop the end-to-end user stories with internal and external stakeholders. As part of our team, you will thrive in working with a variety of technologies, not just Microsoft technology. You will solve exciting business problems, contribute to open source, and collaborate with Microsoft product teams. You will enable the technical program managers on your team to apply their skills, creativity, and aspirations to benefit our customers and advance their careers. 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. In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
