Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Director to lead campaigns and advocacy in support of Microsoft’s infrastructure investments, with datacenters, energy, workforce development, and community investment as the primary mandate of this role. As AI scales rapidly, so does the infrastructure required to support it. The public conversation around that infrastructure is growing in complexity, playing out across communities, statehouses, and federal policy environments at once. Regulatory approvals, rezoning and entitlement processes, legislative outcomes, and community trust are all interconnected, and they are shaped by how well we communicate, organize, and show up. This role is global in scope, with the United States as the primary and most immediate focus, expanding over time to encompass markets around the world where Microsoft's infrastructure investments are growing. It means building campaigns that reach the right audiences through the right channels, generate visible support in our highest-investment communities, and equip partners, elected officials, and internal teams to engage effectively. It requires fluency across the full campaign toolkit: paid, earned, owned, digital, coalition, surrogate voices, and on-the-ground engagement, knowing how each contributes to advancing projects in the near term and building enduring community trust over time. The right candidate is a seasoned political and corporate public affairs professional who knows how to design campaigns that win, lead teams through complex and fast-moving environments, and guide cross-functional teams through high-stakes moments with clarity and strategic discipline.
