About the role

Principal Product Manager on the Enterprise Search and Grounding Platform team to drive strategy and execution to deliver Copilot and Agents quality gains within the Search Platform’s recall-forward, low-latency retrieval for agents.

Responsibilities

  • Define the vision, multi-year roadmap, and success metrics for the Developer Experience pillar, anchored on the Search Platform north star: one trusted platform, tuned by scenario, with recall-forward, low-latency retrieval for agents.
  • Own product definition for the developer-facing API surface, including the next major version of our core retrieval API and the Work IQ and Retrieval API integration patterns, with a bias toward stable, scenario-agnostic contracts that outlive any single experience.
  • Decide what the platform should offer as a shared capability and what stays with individual agent teams, and drive the consolidation of bespoke integrations onto supported patterns.
  • Design the onboarding path for a new agent team, from first call to production: reference integrations, documentation, samples, and self-serve tooling that remove the need for a bespoke engagement.
  • Treat debuggability as a product requirement. Specify the observability, tracing, and diagnostics developers need to understand why a query returned what it did and to fix issues without escalating to the platform team.
  • Translate agent needs into platform requirements for recall, latency budgets, and evidence formats, working with other pillars to ship recall-forward retrieval as part of the core platform.
  • Author crisp specs, requirements documents, and program plans; drive execution across multiple engineering teams and owners; communicate status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to leadership.
  • Represent Search Platform developer experience with senior stakeholders across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Graph, Work IQ, and partner organizations, landing decisions and aligning roadmaps.
  • Raise the bar for platform PM by mentoring PMs and modeling data-driven, customer-obsessed decision making.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development
  • OR equivalent experience
