About The Position

Be part of a culture that celebrates excellence and drives innovation where success is a shared journey. In this Principal Product Manager role for Dynamics 365 Contact Center, you sit at the intersection of artificial intelligence, customer experience, and business outcomes. You help contact centers transform how they serve customers, moving from reactive support to intelligent, proactive, and efficient experiences at scale. You operate with true surface-area ownership, setting direction, making the hardest prioritization calls, and seeing your decisions land across millions of customer interactions. You lead cross-divisional initiatives across multiple feature areas, shaping the long-term vision and strategy for contact center solutions grounded in deep customer insight, competitive and market research, and alignment with Microsoft’s broader business goals. You translate that vision into a coherent roadmap, weaving together product architecture, artificial intelligence capabilities, and user journeys to deliver breakthrough experiences for both agents and customers. You are the person the team relies on to hold the bar on whether the product truly changes how contact centers run, not just how they demo. At Microsoft, our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more guides how we partner with customers to deliver trusted, impactful solutions. With a growth-mindset culture, we innovate responsibly and measure success by shared progress, people, teams, and customers.
