Senior Business Planner

Microsoft • Redmond, WA

9h • $106,400 - $222,600

About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Business Planner to join the Monetization and Business Planning (M+BP) team which is responsible for monetization strategy, pricing, and packaging constructs for products representing over $100 billion of annual revenue. In this role you will drive monetization innovation for our commercial One Drive and SharePoint portfolio. AI is moving beyond answering questions toward helping people carry out work. The proposal a team is writing, the plan it is refining, and the files it shares are essential context for that work, when access is trusted and appropriately governed. That puts OneDrive and SharePoint at a compelling intersection of AI, collaboration, content, and storage. For a business planner, the challenge is concrete: understand what customers value as these experiences evolve, then translate that value and the economics of storage into simple, sustainable business models. This is a visible, cross‑functional role that combines strategic thinking, analytical rigor, and executive‑level communication to support growth, simplicity, and scalability of SharePoint and One Drive and the overall M365 business. In this role you will partner with product, engineering, sales, marketing, and finance leaders to shape portfolio direction, guide investment decisions, and ensure business outcomes are clearly understood and delivered.

• Strategic framing skills to create alignment between engineering, product marketing, and business owners.
• Efficient problem-solver who can see the big picture and possess deep analytical skills, including the ability to synthesize data from multiple sources to make data-driven decisions.
• Consistently deliver results and demonstrate good judgment, personal accountability, and high integrity.
• Ability to work independently and effectively as part of a broad team, and drive successful outcomes with virtual teams.
