Senior Product Manager

Overview

The Microsoft AI for Good Lab uses AI, data science and cloud technology to help solve some of the world's biggest challenges, working with leaders across Microsoft and with universities, nonprofits and governments. The data scientists, engineers and product leaders who do that work also apply AI inside Microsoft, changing how our legal, policy and corporate affairs teams work. The two parts of our mission feed each other. Methods built for problems in society shape the tools we create for legal and policy experts. What we learn from shipping AI to those experts makes our work for society stronger. It's one team with one way of working and two kinds of impact.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive AI solutions across both parts of our mission. You'll shape and deliver AI tools used by legal and corporate affairs professionals, including generative AI apps, AI agents, and the knowledge and data platforms behind them. You'll also help plan and deliver AI for Good Lab projects that apply AI to real problems in society.

You'll turn strategy into clear product plans, work hand in hand with data scientists and engineers, and show impact with data. You use AI in your own daily work, you experiment quickly, and you help others see what's possible.

• Coordinate delivery across teams and partners, managing dependencies, risks and timelines.

• Help scope, plan and communicate AI for Good Lab projects with internal and external partners, including presentations and data-driven storytelling.

• Share product plans, progress and outcomes with stakeholders at all levels, including senior leaders.
