Principal Product Manager

Microsoft is building the next generation of agentic experiences, where customers can extend Copilot with trusted agents, plugins, skills, connectors, and tools. The opportunity is to make these capabilities easy to find, understand, acquire, and use wherever customers work, while giving developers and partners a clear path to reach Microsoft audiences at scale.

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.

• Align senior stakeholders around durable product decisions, resolve cross-organizational dependencies and tradeoffs, and communicate strategy and progress with clarity.
