We are looking to hire aSeniorProduct Manager to joinourFoundry Model teamandhelp us lead the next generation ofmodels, including how wecollaboratewith our flagship model providers.

This role sits at the center of how Microsoft brings frontier models to market at scale. You will own the connective tissue between model providers, platform teams, and downstream consumers, ensuring that complex releases move from intent to reality with speed, clarity, and operational rigor. The work is highly visible and high impact, shaping how Microsoft collaborates with firstparty and partner model providers and how those models are delivered reliably to customers.

You will operate as a single point of synthesis and accountability across competing inputs, unclear timelines, and shifting constraints. Success in this role requires strong judgment, the ability to represent the company with confidence, and a bias toward building durable systems rather than relying on heroics. You will drive automation of critical workflows such as model launches, reducing manual coordination and creating repeatable mechanisms that allow the organization to scale.

This is a role for a senior PM who thrives in ambiguity, is comfortable influencing without authority, and enjoys turning complexity into simple, executable plans. You will work closely with senior engineering leaders, external and internal model providers, and executive stakeholders, translating fragmented signals into clear decisions and outcomes. If you are motivated by building platforms, shaping operating models, and leaving behind systems that continue to work long after you move on, this role is designed for you.
