Senior Product Manager - Office Extensibility

Share job

Our team plays a key role in the Microsoft 365 developer story. We are responsible for the platform that allows developers (both first- and third-party) to integrate with and extend Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook across Windows, Mac, Office Online, iOS, and Android. We also partner closely with teams across Microsoft 365 to deliver a cohesive platform story for all Office developers.

We do this by both fostering one of the world’s largest developer ecosystems around our Win32 apps, and building a modern extensibility model that’s built on web technologies and runs across platforms. Building a great platform isn’t just about APIs – we also think deeply about developer and user experience and ensure that from documentation to tooling to in-product UX to an in-app marketplace, we have everything our ecosystem needs to build powerful, deeply integrated solutions that enable customers to use our apps more efficiently and effectively.

We are a diverse, worldwide, passionate, customer-obsessed team with a highly collaborative environment, focused on ensuring that we have a world-class platform and a successful, thriving partner ecosystem. We take pride in working as hard on team culture as we do on product, building an environment where we understand and respect each other and every person feels like they can bring their whole selves and do their best work.

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.
