Job Summary

Own the Azure demo platform and COE to unify demos across teams, tying content, tooling, and patterns to product roadmaps and executive storytelling.

  • Demo platform strategy and governance across intake, prioritization, QA, and launch readiness.

  • Enablement, measurement, and feedback loops to improve demos and ensure one Azure narrative.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead the strategy and roadmap for an Azure-wide demo platform (content + tooling + repeatable patterns) that makes it easy to build, maintain, and reuse high-quality demos across teams.
  • Establish a Demo Center of Excellence for Azure with clear intake, prioritization, quality bar, governance, and lifecycle management (build, refresh, publish, retire).
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to ensure demos are technically accurate, reliable, and aligned to the product roadmap and top customer scenarios.
  • Create mechanisms that scale: templates, demo “building blocks,” standards, and enablement so teams across Azure can contribute while maintaining a consistent bar.
  • Define and maintain the demo-led narrative for Azure—connecting capabilities across Developer Tools, AI, Data, Infrastructure, and Security into cohesive customer scenarios.
  • Translate customer needs into technical use cases, story arcs, talk tracks, and demo flows that make complex concepts understandable and compelling.
  • Ensure demos and storytelling are consistent across major moments: flagship 1P events, product launches, customer briefings, analyst engagements, digital experiences, and social/outbound content.
  • Engage executives to understand their executive voice and priorities; translate technical truth into clear narratives and demos they can confidently use in keynotes, customer meetings, and analyst conversations.
  • Drive cross-team alignment across multiple product groups so major moments land as “one Azure story,” not disconnected point solutions.
  • Partner closely with the Executive Briefing Center (EBC) team to support high-stakes customer briefings and repeatable platforms, including readiness of the on-site demo environment and scenario portfolio.
