Your work here will show up across industries, communities, and lives creating impact at a global scale. In this Senior Customer Marketing Manager role on the Customer Marketing & Advocacy team, you will help bring Microsoft’s customer stories to life across its ecosystem of channels. You will work across the commercial portfolio of products like Azure, Copilot and AI, Security, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 to activate and amplify rich customer narratives so that every story reaches its full audience and impact potential.
This is an integrated role focused on an always-on amplification workstream that showcases and highlights our customer success. You will define an operating model, elevate the quality and reach of our customer story content, and partner across marketing, sales, and customer success to distribute. You will partner closely with cross functional teams around key events, moments, and campaigns to support the creation of customer story content and ensure it is surfaced across the full ecosystem of channels.
Drawing on your marketing expertise, you will develop campaign and channel plans, recommend priorities, and use performance data and insights to optimize how stories are distributed and consumed. You will make it easier for marketers and sellers across Microsoft to discover, share, and reuse customer evidence that influences decision makers and drives business outcomes while creating visible impact for the team and the customers you support.

With a growth‑mindset culture, we innovate responsibly and measure success by shared progress, people, teams, and customers. Join us to do meaningful work that changes the world and helps shape what’s next for everyone.

Integrated Marketing Execution.
