As a Senior Product Manager within the Microsoft AI (MAI) organization, you will be part of the Audits Team driving audit readiness across our portfolio of products and services. Your primary focus will be building and scaling processes that drive audit and regulatory readiness across Microsoft 365 and global regulatory frameworks (including EU and federal requirements), while partnering with teams to translate regulatory expectations into practical technical implementations.

You will collaborate across engineering, compliance, risk, and audit functions to establish readiness frameworks, strengthen control environments, and enable evidence-based compliance operations. You will help define, operationalize, and technically specify processes that simplify audit execution and ensure our teams are prepared to meet complex Federal, regulatory, security, and compliance expectations.

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to advance the Audits Team’s audit‑readiness mission—partnering with engineering teams to proactively anticipate regulatory and audit requirements, close execution gaps, and institutionalize scalable systems that measurably reduce risk. The ideal candidate brings solid technical program management expertise, hands‑on experience with complex audits (e.g., SOC2, SOX, ISO, FedRAMP, internal audits), and a mindset that views compliance as a strategic capability enabled through disciplined technical and operational execution.

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.
