About The Position

Microsoft AI Experiences is seeking a Principal Product Manager for its Content Product Experiences team, which builds content experiences across MSN, the Edge new tab, Windows Start, and Copilot Discover. The role will identify and build next-generation content products and reusable intelligence systems, starting with personalized company and industry intelligence for enterprise information workers. The position brings together user understanding, knowledge, content agents, ranking, and interactive experiences to help users understand what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.

The Principal Product Manager will take new ideas from early exploration through product-market fit and work across design, engineering, applied science, editorial, and canvas product teams. The position is expected to prototype quickly, evaluate emerging AI capabilities, and develop products that can be integrated across Microsoft experiences. Employees who live within a 50-mile commute of a designated U.S. Microsoft Hub are expected to work in the office at least four days per week, subject to local law and jurisdiction.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 10 or more years of experience in product, service, or program management or software development, or equivalent experience.
• Proven track record taking ambiguous, zero-to-one product ideas from customer discovery through launch and measurable adoption.
• Experience defining and shipping AI, machine learning, search, recommendation, knowledge, or data-intensive product experiences.
• Experience leading large cross-functional initiatives and influencing senior stakeholders without formal authority.
• Experience building enterprise intelligence, knowledge, content, or productivity products that serve multiple applications or customer experiences.
• Ability to develop multiple new product opportunities, make disciplined evidence-based decisions, and transition successful products from exploration to scaled execution.
• Customer obsession, intellectual curiosity, a bias to prototype, and good judgment about when to scale, pivot, or stop.

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor's degree and 15 or more years of experience in product, service, or program management or software development, or equivalent experience.
• A builder's portfolio with concrete examples of new products or categories created using emerging technology.
• A well-developed point of view on how AI will change content discovery, understanding, and action.
• Comfort operating across capability, product, and experience boundaries while maintaining clear ownership.

Responsibilities

• Own the vision and strategy for new content intelligence products, identifying unmet customer needs and technology shifts that could define new product categories.
• Build enterprise content intelligence as the first product focus, including personalized company and industry briefings, watchlists, and experiences explaining what changed, why it matters, and what users can do next.
• Translate user understanding, knowledge graphs, content agents, ranking, quality, and interactive components into coherent, reusable product systems that can serve multiple Microsoft canvases.
• Lead customer discovery, prototyping, and experimentation to find product-market fit, distinguish durable value from novelty, and determine when products are ready to scale.
• Partner with design, engineering, applied science, editorial, and canvas product teams to integrate products into Edge, Windows, MSN, and Copilot without duplicating existing ownership.
• Establish success criteria, use evidence to decide what to advance, refine, or stop, and transition proven experiences to teams positioned to operate them at scale.
• Raise the bar for zero-to-one product thinking, mentor product managers, and influence senior leaders across organizational boundaries.

• The posting states that certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation and directs applicants to Microsoft's careers website for additional benefits and pay information.
