About The Position

Microsoft 365 Copilot is the AI platform that will transform how work gets done. It’s rapidly becoming the central entry point across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and agents driving AI-led productivity for every business. AI security is a critical challenge Microsoft must tackle to earn our customer trust. The Microsoft 365 Copilot Security Team (SPEAR) was formed to strengthen the security posture of M365 Copilot’s agentic and autonomous systems across the Microsoft ecosystem. SPEAR provides shared security services, delivers common capabilities, and standardizes security practices across all M365 Copilot teams. Its charter is to protect Copilot apps and features by embedding agentic security throughout the ecosystem and the core Copilot architecture stack.

As a Senior Product Manager on the SPEAR team, you will drive initiatives that help ensure M365 customers get the most out of Copilot on the most secure platform in the industry. You will set product vision and strategy for shared security services, deliver common security capabilities, and help standardize security practices across M365 Copilot teams. You will collaborate with applied scientists, engineers, security experts, and product managers across Microsoft to shape the strategy and roadmap.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager with a deep curiosity for cybersecurity and experience shaping AI-driven products. In this role, you will own key problem areas, define product strategy and priorities, and drive outcomes that measurably improve M365 Copilot and customer security posture. You will leverage M365’s security ecosystem (e.g., Defender, Purview, Safe Links, Intune) to translate threat patterns and XPIA risks into durable product and engineering systems that embed agentic security across the M365 Copilot architecture. You will partner closely with engineering and applied science to deliver high-quality, scalable capabilities that harden Microsoft’s agentic and autonomous AI stack.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
