About The Position

Security is a top priority for our customers amid growing digital threats, increased regulatory scrutiny, and increasingly complex environments. Microsoft Security is committed to making the world safer by delivering end-to-end, simplified solutions that empower every user, customer, partner, and developer. Our mission is to secure platforms, devices, and clouds across heterogeneous environments—while also protecting Microsoft’s own estate. Within Security Customer Experience Engineering (CxE), the App Assure team’s mission is to help enterprises adopt the latest Microsoft Experience & Devices and Security solutions. We do this by enabling engineering teams to build high‑quality products that work smoothly with third‑party solutions at scale, so customers can achieve more and create lasting business value. When rare app compatibility or integration issues happen, App Assure steps in with expert advice and direct engineering support to quickly fix issues and maintain a high standard of compatibility. As we expand the App Assure Microsoft Sentinel Customer Promise scope, our focus is on ensuring that engineering builds capabilities that work seamlessly with third-party solutions from day one. This program is evolving rapidly, and to support this growth, we are seeking a Product Manager II to lead product previews. In this role, you will work closely with engineering, product managers, and developer architects to validate Independent Software Vendor (ISV) feedback, prioritize engineering investments, and align closely with product teams. As features reach maturity, we also aim to provide clarity and confidence for our ISV partners—through clear documentation, targeted training for App Assure engineers, and enhanced advisory services—so customers can confidently choose Microsoft Sentinel as their platform for AI-driven security solutions. If you’re passionate about cybersecurity, have experience in product development—particularly driving preview programs with customers or partners—and possess foundational knowledge of Microsoft security products, join the Microsoft Security team and help shape the future of secure, intelligent cloud solutions. #MSFTSecurity #Cybersecurity #AppAssure
