About The Position

Microsoft AI Experiences is seeking a Principal Product Manager for its Content Product Experiences team, which builds products across MSN, the Edge new tab, Windows Start, and Copilot Discover. The role will identify and build new 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 people understand what changed, why it matters, and what to do next. The role takes new ideas from early exploration through product-market fit and is suited to a category builder who can prototype quickly and turn emerging AI capabilities into useful products.

AI Experiences employees who live within a 50-mile commute of a designated Microsoft Hub in the U.S. are expected to work from the office at least four days per week. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of experience in product, service, or program management or software development, or equivalent experience.
• Proven track record of 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 sound judgment about when to scale, pivot, or stop.

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor's degree and 15+ 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 for multiple Microsoft canvases.
• Lead customer discovery, prototyping, and experimentation to find product-market fit, distinguish durable value from novelty, and determine when 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.
