Product Manager

Overview

The Commerce Data Model Platform team is at the heart of enabling seamless, scalable, and intelligent commerce experiences across Microsoft. We build and maintain the foundational data models that power commerce transactions, product catalogs, pricing, and customer insights across multiple Microsoft products and services.

This role sits at the intersection of commerce, data, platform strategy, and AI-enabled product development. The Product Manager (Individual Contributor) owns core commerce data models that support pricing, products, subscriptions, billing, usage, and revenue insights across the organization. The role partners closely with engineering, analytics, finance, and upstream and downstream product teams to define clear, durable, and extensible data contracts, shaping how teams design, scale, and reason about commerce experiences using consistent and trusted data. AI-assisted analysis and synthesis are central to how the role evaluates complexity, identifies patterns, and informs platform decisions.

The Product Manager is accountable for defining and delivering a commerce data model platform that enables consistent, trusted, and scalable use of commerce data across products and systems. AI tools are used throughout the product lifecycle to support customer discovery, competitive analysis, data exploration, specification drafting, prioritization, and decision-making. The Product Manager owns features end to end, produces clear product artifacts, defines and tracks success metrics, incorporates feedback through customer and internal engagement, advocates for platform capabilities with go-to-market partners, influences roadmap prioritization, and ensures product decisions and launches align with security, compliance, and governance standards.
