Senior Product Marketing Manager - Business Value

For 50 years, Microsoft has built the tools the world works on while learning alongside our customers as work itself has evolved. Today, AI is transforming not only how work gets done, but how organizations think about technology investment, consumption, and value. FinOps is emerging as a critical discipline for this new era, helping organizations plan AI investments, govern and optimize consumption, and connect spend to measurable business outcomes. Microsoft has an opportunity to help shape this conversation across the industry, grounded in how customers are adopting Microsoft Copilot and agents at scale.

Sitting at the intersection of product strategy, commercial strategy, customer insight, and storytelling, you will turn complex pricing and consumption models, product capabilities, market trends, research, and customer evidence into simple, compelling narratives.

You will bring those narratives to life through thought leadership, keynotes, launches, research, customer evidence, field enablement, and executive conversations. This role requires a writer and strategic thinker who can simplify complexity without losing substance or credibility, connect technology innovation to customer value, and influence senior leaders across product, marketing, and the broader business.

Shape research and thought leadership on how organizations are reorganizing budgets, teams, and accountability to fund and govern AI, drawing evidence from customers, usage data, and research partners.
• Build strong cross-functional and cross-team partnerships to align narratives, connect complementary perspectives, and amplify thought leadership from across Microsoft.
• Track how media, analysts, and competitors cover AI economics, and use what you learn to find the angles others miss.
