Microsoft is a company where passionate innovators come to collaborate, envision what can be and take their careers to levels they cannot achieve anywhere else. This is a world of more possibilities, more innovation, more openness, and the sky is the limit thinking a cloud-enabled world.

Are you looking for a product group role where you can utilize your skills to drive innovation, within a dynamic fast-moving team who support the field and customers to adopt and use Microsoft’s security portfolio? Are you creative and not afraid to try something new within a team where you will be continually challenged and recognized for new ideas and new ways of working?

If so, then we are looking for YOU!

We are focused on scaling out to meet these challenges in the face of incredible growth. We have developed a number of at-scale programs, which have a dependency on automation and tools, that have been developed within the team and this role will play an important part in supporting and further development of the initiatives. This role will primarily be focused on the labs and automation behind those programs but will also put the right candidate in a great position to explore other roles within CxE at a later stage.

  • A fast paced, exciting work environment where there is always a new challenge and opportunity.
  • Opportunities to directly impact customer and partner experience and improve the way product groups at Microsoft work with partners and customers.
  • Direct impact on product engineering decisions based upon partner/customer experience and data.

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.
