Job Description

Have you ever wondered how Microsoft manages its revenue? Most simplistically, we collect money from customers, and we pay employees, partners, vendors, and stockholders. But, when you think of the scale of Microsoft's worldwide operations, our products and services mix, and the size of our business you realize that the financial and workflow experiences that support our ability to do business are massive, complex, and mission critical. The Corporate Functions Engineering organization (CFE) leads that effort. We run Microsoft!

Our challenge is to create and demonstrate world leadership in the digital transformation of corporate finance and professional services. Our scope includes sales (lead to order), services (consulting and support), procurement and payment (order to cash), indirect and direct tax, general accounting, external relations, and more. Our financial systems and experiences must grow to meet tomorrow's challenges. But wait, there's more! We will accelerate Microsoft's growth by radically transforming our financial and workflow experiences to be the most scalable, agile, intelligent and compliant in the world. We work on the premise that our experiences are consumer grade and showcase the best of the Microsoft technology and user experience stack.

As a Program Manager in CFE, you will be part of that journey. You will work with our key partners across Microsoft to create, drive and deliver user experiences that support and scale our business functions. To be successful in this role

* You must be a learner, curious and willing to deeply understand partner needs and able to translate those needs into business priorities for engineering partners.
* You will create a clear point of view that comes from first-hand, large-scale experience with Microsoft and industry solutions.
* You will define the vision for success - meeting or far exceeding industry solutions.
* You will define the metrics by which we measure and judge successful outcomes, and you will work with engineering to create sophisticated methods for creating and measuring progress towards those outcomes.
* You will work with User Research and User Design to develop sophisticated consumer grade, ML and AI driven user experiences that support and empower our customers and partners to make decisions and create value and insights.
* You will drive the delivery of those outcomes and evangelize the results within our organization, within our partner organizations, and externally to the industry.

This is an exciting and challenging role that will utilize all your skills and help you develop new skills. To be successful in this role you must have:

* A minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer science, math, industrial design, finance, or a related field, or equivalent alternative education, skills, and/or practical experience is required.
* 3+ years of product management or product design experience working with partners in non-engineering organizations

Other qualifications:

* Skilled at multi-tasking and managing projects that have broad organizational impact and/or high corporate visibility
* High enthusiasm, integrity, ingenuity, results-orientation, self-motivation, and resourcefulness in a fast-paced environment
* A strong verbal and written communicator, with demonstrated storytelling experience, who is motivated and excited to share your team's outcomes
