The Microsoft 365 Core Copilot Infrastructure team is hiring a Principal Product Manager to be the product owner and architect for the M365 LLM platform that powers Copilot across Microsoft 365. This is not a capacity operations role. We are looking for a technical product leader who can think through the platform end to end: which hardware SKUs we bet on, how we manage and allocate the GPU and CPU fleet, and which optimizations we make at each layer of the stack, and who can turn that thinking into products, roadmaps and decisions.
AI growth is reshaping the platform. Demand is larger and less predictable than ever, hardware and model choices carry more weight, and the cost of getting them wrong scales with the fleet. You will set the direction for the platform and build intelligent, self-service systems to replace manual, ticket-driven processes. Building agents to optimize outcomes using live constraints, availability and demand, always anchored in what our Copilot customers and partner teams need.
This is an AI-first product management role. You will use agents, automation, and AI-driven analysis alongside standard PM tools to read telemetry, model tradeoffs, prototype solutions, and reach decisions faster. You will translate hard technical and financial tradeoffs into terms leaders can act on, and you will lead the team toward AI-forward ways of working, including evaluation sets and agent-based workflows built into how the work gets done.
You will partner closely with engineering leaders, architects, data scientists, finance, supply chain, and Copilot scenario teams across Microsoft. The role carries broad visibility and influence, and it depends on strong product sense, technical depth, data fluency, a customer- and partner-facing mindset, and clear judgment under uncertainty. As a senior leader on the team, you will operate independently, act as a true partner to the team's leadership, mentor other product managers, and raise the bar for how the team works.
This position is based in Redmond, Washington and requires the employee be in the office a minimum of 3 days per week.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
