Senior Product Manager - Developer Engagement PM
Microsoft
We are looking for a Developer Engagement Product Manager to own and evolve the end-to-end developer content experience for the Teams Platform. This role is deeply embedded as part of our product team, and serves as the connective tissue between product strategy, developer feedback, competitive insights, and documentation quality. While this role does not directly ship product features, it is a core driver of developer success and platform adoption.
This role is ideal for a PM who thrives at the intersection of content design, developer experience, and customer empathy, and who can bring rigor, accountability, and strategic thinking to documentation as a first-class product surface. This PM should push the boundaries for how content is used in the development process of a Teams agent using modern AI toolsets.
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.

- Participate in feature reviews, roadmap discussions, and developer feedback loops to ensure documentation readiness is built into the product lifecycle.
- Partner with PMs to create processes and tooling to scale documentation authored by the product team, providing clear feedback and guidance to raise quality and consistency.
- Ensure documentation is ready, accurate, and aligned at key milestones (previews, public releases, GA).
Measurement & Accountability
- Define success metrics for developer documentation (e.g., task success, engagement, support deflection, adoption signals).
- Use qualitative and quantitative feedback to continuously improve documentation effectiveness.
- Establish regular review mechanisms to track documentation health and progress over time.
Competitive & Ecosystem Insights
- Analyze competitor developer platforms and documentation to understand industry best practices and gaps.
- Use competitive insights to influence content strategy, prioritization, and experience improvements.
