Business Program Manager

Overview

MCAPS-Core accelerates customer outcomes and business growth. By uniting product, engineering, marketing, sales, customer success, and partners around a common customer mission, we help customers realize value faster and turn innovation into measurable business impact. Through deep technical expertise and differentiated go-to-market execution, we win competitively, capture market share, and scale repeatable growth motions. We differentiate through value creation - delivering world-class, AI-powered customer experiences that accelerate adoption, strengthen loyalty, and create sustainable competitive advantage, driving growth that outpaces the market.

Within MCAPS - Core, the Customer Service & Support (CSS) organization builds trust and confidence for every person and organization through delivering a seamless support experience. In CSS, we are powered by Microsoft’s AI technology to help consumers, businesses, partners, and more, resolve their issues quickly and securely, helping prevent future problems from occurring and achieving more from their Microsoft investment.

Strategy & Operations (S&O) serves as a cross-business unit within CSS, enabling strategic planning, governance, business performance, operational execution, and transformation across the organization. By aligning priorities, investments, AI and technology initiatives, and execution, we help CSS achieve its business objectives and deliver greater customer impact.

In this key central, cross-functional role, the S&O Business Operations BPM drives the business and operating rhythms that create the right conversations with CSS and MCAPS-Core executive audiences, bringing clarity to processes, keeping operations seamless, and ensuring executives are prepared on the key areas of the business that need their attention. This includes owning the timelines, readiness, deck quality, and decision and action tracking for each business review, along with the S&O communications, SharePoint, and event operations that keep the organization informed and connected. 

This role is a strong fit for a program manager who is detail-oriented, proactive, and able to drive clarity and follow-through in a fast-moving executive environment, working cross-functionally with a broad set of partners and leaders. Strong coordination and communication skills matter more than deep analytics expertise, though comfort with business performance data and executive reporting is important.

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.
