The Trust Experience and Compliance (TEC) team's mission is to make Windows the most trusted platform for business and life. Within TEC, the Windows Compliance Platform team is redefining what compliance means for Windows, Microsoft, and our customers.
Our vision is simple: make compliance happen seamlessly. We are building innovative, AI-powered and agentic solutions that integrate directly into engineering workflows, eliminating compliance toil and enabling teams to build trusted products by default. This Principal Product Manager role offers a unique opportunity to reimagine compliance at a global scale in the AI era.
As a member of this team, you will be at the forefront of driving trusted experiences across Windows and beyond. You will lead and orchestrate efforts spanning multiple regulatory, governance, and compliance domains while influencing strategy across engineering, legal, policy, and business teams. Leveraging TEC's unique vantage point, you will help determine which tools, platforms, services, and technologies should be built, adopted, transformed, or retired to meet evolving business needs and customer expectations.
We are looking for an entrepreneurial product leader who combines strategic vision with solid execution. AI is central to our mission, and we need someone who can craft and execute on a compliance strategy boldly infused with AI to transform how compliance is managed across Microsoft. You will help define the future of trusted systems by reinventing how organizations demonstrate compliance.
The regulatory landscape continues to expand, and traditional approaches to compliance are becoming increasingly costly and unsustainable. New solutions are required. Our team is tackling one of Microsoft's most significant enterprise challenges while creating value for customers facing the same pressures. Success in this role requires exceptional cross-team collaboration, technical depth, influence, communication skills, and a proactive mindset for solving complex problems at scale.
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.
