Original job description

Content provided by the employer

Overview

Microsoft AI is the organization that makes humanist, responsible AI to empower people. We are a global network of trailblazers — Product leaders, marketers, developers, scientists, designers, and storytellers. Interconnected by curiosity and driven by possibility, we explore, experiment, and shape the future together.

The role

We’re looking for a Director of Product Marketing, Agency Growth for the Monetization team inside Microsoft AI. You’ll be an individual contributor (no direct reports) joining a team building the infrastructure and solutions to help businesses thrive in the new AI economy–including the future of digital advertising.

AI is the biggest change to how people find things on the internet since the inventions of search, mobile, and social — and it's moving faster than all three. Most people still browse and search for themselves. Many now just ask an AI assistant for recommendations. And a growing number send an agent to go do the work for them. Three versions of the web, running at once — and every business has to win in all three.

Agencies are one of the most important audiences we have. One conversation with an agency shapes hundreds of client plans. And right now, every agency in the world is being asked the same question by their clients — what do we do about AI? — and most don't yet have a confident answer.

Your job is to give them one, and to make Microsoft the partner they build it with. You'll bring our full portfolio of advertising and AI business solutions to agencies and their clients, and help them win across all three eras of the web at once.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
