Overview
Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As AI agents become part of how the world works, that empowerment increasingly depends on trust. These agents are only as efficient and reliable as the tools made available to them. As organizations connect agents to a fast-growing ecosystem of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, plugins, skills, connectors, and custom integrations, the ability to onboard, discover, and govern those tools becomes essential to enterprise trust. Today this is a fragmented and fast-emerging space. We're looking for a leader who can bring coherence to this tool's governance story.
 
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the tool governance experience in Agent 365, the product that lets customers inventory, register tools, discover unsanctioned ones, and apply consistent policy and controls across them. You will turn a  fast-emerging space into a coherent governance value and ship these capabilities that make agent tooling safe for regulated and sovereign customers.
 
This is a high-ownership, high-ambiguity role at the center of how enterprises adopt agents with confidence. You'll partner across engineering, design, security, and compliance to define the strategy, shape the roadmap, and deliver experiences that set the standard for trustworthy agent tooling.
 
Microsoft's culture is grounded in a growth mindset, and we bring our all each day to build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.


Responsibilities
• Own the strategy and roadmap for tool onboarding and governance, including registry experience for plugins, skills, connectors, and customer-supplied tool packages.
• Engage with customers to understand governance and compliance requirements and translate them into clear, prioritized product investments.
• Define granular governance controls for agent tools
• Deliver discovery and observability for unsanctioned/Shadow AI tools, giving customers visibility into tools operating outside sanctioned channels, along with usage and activity insights.
• Build governance capabilities for regulated and sovereign environments, including support for government cloud and runtime audit evidence for legal, security, and compliance stakeholders.
• Partner closely with the different product teams within Microsoft to have coherent tool governance and security solutions with a seamless and engaging experience.
