Senior Product Manager

Overview

Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new offering that harnesses the power of generative AI through foundational large language models to usher in a new era of AI-first productivity for hundreds of millions of enterprise users. As business workflows dont typically run exclusively on Microsoft 365 applications and data formats, Copilot is built as a platform right from the very beginning. Using extensibility, customers augment M365 Copilot with custom skills and organizational-specific knowledge to enable truly spectacular AI scenarios and power connected workflows.

As a Senior Product Manager for Store Operations on the M365 Copilot Platform team, you will drive operational excellence in agent publishing, collaborate with engineering and partners, and empower third-party developers to deliver high-quality Copilot agents. Your work will sit at the intersection of generative AI, platform extensibility, and developer experience, directly impacting productivity for millions of enterprise users and supporting organizations aspiring to become Frontier Firms.

In this role, you will lead initiatives to define and uphold quality standards, streamline agent validation, and enhance the developer journey. You will influence product strategy and roadmap priorities, leveraging data-driven insights and market feedback to improve both developer and user experiences.

Success in this role requires strong ownership, the ability to influence without authority, and a growth mindset to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You will demonstrate technical depth in AI and cloud services, collaborate across business and technical domains, and champion innovation in agent solutions. We seek an “agent boss”—someone who embraces generative AI, adopts a “learn-it-all” mindset, and leads by example.

We believe that we are rewiring productivity for the next 30 years! If you are passionate about operational excellence, developer empowerment, and the transformative potential of AI, we invite you to help us reimagine productivity for the next generation.

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