OverviewMicrosoft 365 Copilot's mission is to be your copilot for work, combining the power of AI with your data in the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool on the planet. The M365 Grounding and Search platform provides M365 Copilot experience with rich foundation of graph data across various entities enabling the experiences to be responsive, with high quality contextual and relevant information to drive productivity of Copilot users. We're looking for an experienced Principal Product Management Manager to join the Semantic Index & Search Platform team, who can lead innovation and collaborate across Microsoft's product teams to define a multi-year strategy for this area. This is fundamentally about two things: (1) product thinking as to how the platform capabilities can enable our 1P/3P partners to solve real customer needs across Microsoft 365 copilot and search experiences and (2) what is the right approach to generate large-scale runtime stack and quality evaluation platform capabilities that involves considering a wide range of technical, product, and business factors to ensure that the platform meets the needs of our users and partners. Join us and lead the way in shaping the future of M365 Copilot Grounding & Search Platform.

You will work across engineering teams to drive architecture decisions, UX teams to influence how this content shows up, finance teams to drive business models, and compliance and legal teams to ensure we're building a solution that customers feel great about adopting. We are a platform team so technical background is needed, and while we don't directly own user experiences, you'll utilize good product instincts to guide how the platform capabilities will create value across apps. The Group: This team is part of the Semantic Fabric team which is focused on delivering the platform capabilities that underpin the broader M365 Copilot system and Microsoft Search product. You'll work closely with the PM leaders within this group to deliver combined value across a wide set of partners and scenarios. This group is part of the larger Microsoft 365 Core which builds the infrastructure, platforms, AI/ML and collaboration & communications backbone for Microsoft 365. You: We all bring something different to the table, and no doubt you do, too. With that in mind, we are looking for diversity of backgrounds to build a well-rounded, flexible, nurturing, and healthy team that can execute incredibly well today and evolve for the future. You'll have a lot of experience across things like creating and executing on platform strategies, thinking about the "Platform as the Product", distributed cloud services, partner collaboration, competitor analysis, core PM skills like product planning, prioritization techniques, OKRs, and data analytics, etc. All facets are beneficial for this role and our team; the more of these you have, the better.
