Overview

The Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) brings Microsoft platform capabilities into a broad device ecosystem. The team works across engineering, product, design, partner, and commercial organizations to define platform direction, translate customer and partner needs into product priorities, and deliver a coherent experience across devices and services.

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to help shape the overall direction of MDEP. This person will develop and communicate the product strategy, build alignment with key Microsoft platform and service organizations, and establish a clear, durable roadmap that connects customer needs, partner commitments, engineering investments, and business priorities.

The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who can turn ambiguity into a structured product plan, influence stakeholders across organizational boundaries, and balance long-term platform vision with near-term execution. Success will be demonstrated through a broadly understood strategy, a credible outcome-oriented roadmap, solid cross-company alignment, and improved confidence among customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.

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.

• Develop a deep understanding of customer, OEM, ODM, developer, independent software vendor, and solution-provider scenarios through direct engagement and collaboration with field and partner teams.
• Partner with Product Marketing, Business Planning, and go-to-market teams to connect product capabilities with release criteria, positioning, value proposition, packaging, monetization, adoption, usage, and retention plans.
• Define success criteria and incorporate product health, security, quality, adoption, partner readiness, customer satisfaction, business impact, and delivery performance into product decisions.
• Provide product leadership throughout the lifecycle, including product definition, development, release, adoption, maintenance, upgrades, and end-of-life planning.
• Communicate strategy, roadmap, priorities, decisions, and changes clearly to executive, technical, business, customer, and partner audiences.
