Job Description:

The Microsoft AI Monetization team plays a pivotal role in shaping how Microsoft generates value from its AI innovations, particularly through products like Copilot, Bing, Edge, and Microsoft Advertising. This cross-functional organization is responsible for driving new monetization opportunities, business growth, and pioneering bold bets in AI-driven experiences.

You will drive initiatives that make businesses invocable and agentready, spanning discovery, business verification, transaction flows, and outcome telemetry, while delivering reliable, compliant, and scalable commerce experiences across surfaces and scenarios. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

  • Strategic Leadership & Risk Management
  • Define program vision, support strategy, and drive execution plans in collaboration with crossfunctional teams, supporting Commerce as it evolves into an orchestration layer across experiences
  • Identify, evaluate, and mitigate project and program risks, providing datadriven recommendations to stakeholders
  • Manage dependencies and ensure timely delivery of program milestones across interconnected systems and partners
  • Cross Functional Collaboration
  • Collaborate across areas to gather and prioritize requirements, scope engagements, and align resources with commitments
  • Partner and influence engineering, product, UX, data science, and business teams to deliver complex technical solutions across surfaces and scenarios
  • Success Metrics & Implementation Leadership
  • Define and monitor key metrics (e.g., latency, throughput, quality scores, revenue impact) in partnership with cross-functional teams to guide program priorities and evaluate success
  • Develop success criteria and build relationships to drive implementation across highly complex, cross-functional initiatives
  • Executive Communication & Reporting
  • Provide program updates and risks to leadership, translating complex issues into actionable, business-aligned narratives
  • Establish clear visibility into progress, priorities, and KPIs, ensuring Leadership Team and partner teams are informed and aligned
  • Communicate effectively across technical and executive audiences
  • Culture & Values
  • Embody and promote Microsoft culture and values in all interactions and initiatives
  • Demonstrate coachability, teamwork, and a commitment to continuous improvement

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

  • Demonstrated success influencing and collaborating with executive leadership (VP/CVP level), with ability to communicate effectively across technical and business audiences
  • Strong program management fundamentals: roadmap planning, dependency management, risk mitigation, stakeholder communication, and execution tracking
  • Experience in Monetization, Commerce, or consumer-facing platforms
  • Background supporting consumer or business experiences at scale, across web, mobile, or AI-driven surfaces
  • Exposure to agentic or automation-driven systems, such as orchestration layers, intelligent workflows, or systems that translate user intent into actions or outcomes
