Senior Program Manager Microsoft
Redmond, WA

Job Description

Azure Global drives the expansion of Microsoft Azure worldwide. There is tremendous customer demand for Azure regions that provide hyperscale cloud computing capability while meeting data residency and latency requirements across the world. We work at a scale that is hard to match - Microsoft's Capital Expenditure on datacenters and hardware runs into billions of dollars per year.

To deliver at this scale in a constantly evolving environment, we need an engineering orchestration system that enables a distributed set of teams worldwide to collaborate across planning, design and execution of a variety of projects (e.g. adding new regions). We are looking for a Senior Program Manager to drive us towards this goal.

You will create the vision and roadmap to improve our geo expansion tooling infrastructure, deliver the improvements and get them adopted by teams across C+AI. You will simplify this enormously complex space by democratizing knowledge and eliminating manual bottlenecks. The features you build will streamline projects whose Capital Expenditure runs in hundreds of millions of dollars.

If you have run an online service in a Program Manager role and you gravitate towards engineering systems to solve workflow and collaboration problems, this role may be a good fit for you.

Required Qualifications:

* At least five years of experience driving complex engineering projects across teams.
* At least two years of experience delivering features in a fast paced online services environment.
* At least two years of experience in a developer role.

Preferred Qualifications:

* B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.

Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:

Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
