The posting

Overview

Microsoft Commercial Marketplace is looking for a Principal Product Manager, Portfolio Strategy and Operations to help shape strategy and strengthen execution across a complex, cross-organizational product ecosystem. You will connect customer and partner needs, business opportunities, product roadmaps, engineering capacity, and go-to-market priorities into a clear and actionable portfolio.

In the Principal Product Manager role, you will lead the mechanisms used to evaluate new opportunities, make investment and sequencing decisions, and maintain a trusted view of commitments, dependencies, risks, and results. You will help leaders understand the choices in front of them and help teams translate those decisions into accountable follow-through.

You will collaborate with colleagues across product management, engineering, design, marketing, finance, strategy and operations, and other product organizations. You will thrive in this role if you enjoy connecting strategy with execution, bringing structure to ambiguous problems, and helping diverse teams make clear, evidence-based decisions together.

The team is evolving toward AI-native ways of working. You will help teams experiment thoughtfully, share what works, and translate promising practices into accessible, responsible, and repeatable approaches.

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.

Responsibilities

  • Lead portfolio prioritization and investment planning across product and engineering teams, synthesizing customer and partner needs, business value, strategic alignment, risk, capacity, dependencies, and execution readiness.
  • Own the portfolio intake and evaluation process for new customer, partner, business, engineering, and product-group opportunities. Ensure requests have clear outcomes, evidence, accountable owners, and the artifacts required for effective decisions.
  • Maintain a transparent, ranked book of work that reflects strategic direction and available capacity. Recommend where to accelerate, sequence, reshape, defer, or stop investments as priorities and evidence change.
  • Maintain the integrity of portfolio data by establishing common taxonomy, lifecycle definitions, ranking conventions, documentation standards, and data-quality expectations across planning and engineering systems.
  • Design and operate planning, roadmap, intake, and execution-review rhythms that give teams and leaders a trusted view of outcomes, delivery health, dependencies, risks, metrics, and learnings.
  • Orchestrate dependencies across Marketplace, Commerce, engineering, finance, legal, compliance, marketing, and other product organizations. Establish shared outcomes, clarify ownership and decision paths, and escalate material risks when needed.
  • Ensure portfolio decisions are documented, communicated, and translated into clear ownership and follow-through. Build durable operating standards, onboarding resources, and self-service guidance that allow practices to scale.
  • Use analytics, workflow tools, automation, and AI responsibly to reduce administrative effort, improve decision quality, and increase the timeliness and accessibility of portfolio insights.
  • Create clear, evidence-based portfolio narratives and recommendations for senior and executive audiences, connecting delivery progress and trade-offs to customer, partner, and business outcomes.
  • Help advance AI-native product-development practices through experimentation, shared learning, effective change management, and responsible adoption.

Qualifications

Required/Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience realizing the potential of AI, including hands-on experience driving transformation towards AI-native development models.
  • Experience connecting strategy, roadmap planning, investment decisions, and execution within a complex technology, platform, marketplace, or enterprise-product environment.
  • Experience establishing or improving product operating mechanisms such as portfolio intake, prioritization, roadmap governance, execution reviews, dependency management, or outcome tracking.
  • Experience synthesizing customer, partner, business, financial, technical, capacity, and execution signals into clear recommendations and trade-offs.
  • Experience collaborating and influence across organizational boundaries, establish shared accountability, and communicate effectively with senior leaders and delivery teams.
  • Experience or interest in applying analytics, automation, and AI to improve product-development and decision-making practices responsibly.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
