Product Manager

In this role as a Product Manager you are expected to move from scoped, reasonably well-defined problems focused on one or two specific outcomes to broader ownership of scenarios where the exact path to achieve your goal is much less clear. Success here will require you to connect multiple efforts, ensuring they work well together to solve Champ scenarios hence ensuring processes are compliant and controls are measured. Success for this role is to ensure Service teams have all information to be prepared for upcoming audits. This role must collaborate with Service Teams assisting with adding new services, deprecating services, and drive projects to ensuring Champ awareness. This is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact and contribute to the success of Microsoft.
