About The Position

Work IQ is the intelligence layer for Copilot and agents. Business Applications in Work IQ extends that intelligence to business operations by bringing together business data, relationships, and processes from Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and other enterprise systems, with Microsoft Dataverse as a core source. Semantic models and reusable business skills stored and managed in Dataverse enable Copilot and agents to reason across systems and take governed actions while respecting existing security and permissions.

The Principal Product Manager will lead product strategy for the developer experience behind Business Applications in Work IQ and Dataverse. The role sets strategy and investment priorities for how professional developers and agents build and administer agentic workflows through MCP, A2A, APIs, SDKs, and CLIs. It will help make Dataverse and Work IQ a first-class choice across the broader professional developer and coding-agent ecosystem, grow the developer portfolio, bring new scenarios, partners, and integrations to the platform, and deepen engagement with existing developers.

Based in Redmond, this role shapes how developers and agents use business context, skills, and actions as enterprise AI evolves. It calls for a product leader who can make strategic platform choices, build alignment across organizational boundaries, and measure success through developer and customer outcomes. The position works within Microsoft's mission and values of empowering people and organizations, maintaining a growth mindset, innovating, collaborating, and fostering inclusion.
