About The Position

The Microsoft Commerce team is at the forefront of defining how AI‑native shopping comes to life, shaping how Copilot helps people discover, decide, and take action. We are pioneering the future of AI shopping by building intelligent, trusted experiences that redefine commerce and shopping across Microsoft surfaces.
As a Principal Product Manager - Commerce, you’ll be responsible for understanding user and business needs, defining clear requirements, and driving execution across engineering, design, and partner teams.

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.
