Join the team in Modern Work that’s re-imagining how people come together in the workplace – Microsoft Mesh!
The concept of metaverse with 3D/immersive capabilities has been described as the new computing paradigm. Over the last two years, there has been significant investment in this space. The multitude of companies investing today are betting that using immersive technology for work and engaging with their customers will become imperative in the future. In 2022, over $120B in investments flew into the metaverse (McKinsey insights), and Bloomberg predicts that in 2024, the metaverse will be an $800B market opportunity.
Microsoft Mesh is Modern Work’s growth bet in this space and is designed to help organizations foster thriving workplaces by enabling employees to come together to connect, communicate and collaborate across different locations or geographies, using the mission critical tool they already have – Microsoft Teams. While customers agree with the imperative of creating deeper connections among their people, and many are intrigued by the concept of the metaverse – customers need to be convinced that Mesh is right for their business. We are well positioned to be a leader in this space and customers are looking to us for guidance.
We are seeking an outbound Product Marketing Manager to drive core product marketing for Microsoft Mesh. This is a leadership role for an early-stage, innovative product with outsize visibility, operating in an agile environment where there is great opportunity for breakthrough thinking and creativity.
In this role you will be at the forefront of category creation and storytelling to build high-impact narratives that will educate and energize customers, partners, sellers, and influencers. You will use your skillful storytelling, along with customer understanding, market insights, and technical acumen, to help our customers transform the way they work. You will be a spokesperson and evangelist, working with customers, partners, and our sales field to drive awareness and usage of Mesh capabilities in Microsoft 365. You will partner across Product Marketing Managers, Program Managers, Press Release, digital marketing, and our field to pioneer strategies to drive adoption, satisfaction, and customer success. You will influence engineering, helping ensure that the product value proposition and experience represents what our customers want and need. Additional responsibilities may be added depending on business needs and individual growth & development.
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.
