Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the all-up Microsoft Foundry and agent platform narrative, including the primary MPF, positioning hierarchy, messaging pillars, proof points, naming logic, and competitive differentiation.
  • Lead the core platform BOM and story system across materials, solution plays, executive briefing content, field and partner readiness, web experiences, thought leadership, technical content, and demos.
  • Connect GitHub, Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, Microsoft IQ, Agent 365, Security, and adjacent data and AI products into a coherent end-to-end customer story while preventing duplicative or conflicting narratives.
  • Translate the product roadmap into a small set of strategy-relevant big rocks, and identify important market or customer themes that are not yet explicit on the roadmap. Use those insights to influence product and portfolio decisions.
  • Set the editorial and storytelling quality bar across executive briefs, blogs, thought leadership, launch assets, social content, event story arcs, demos, customer evidence, and field materials.
  • Lead narrative readiness for Tier 1 launches and major marketing moments, including Build, Ignite, AI Tour, executive briefing programs, and priority third-party events. Align announcements, demos, creative, sessions, and field readiness around one story.
  • Serve as a thought partner to executives and product and engineering leaders. Represent the platform with customers, analysts, partners, and the field, and shape analyst relations, public relations, compete, and executive communications.
  • Establish a clear operating model across product marketing, engineering, brand, communications, events, developer relations, sales, and partner teams, including decision rights, review cadences, ownership, and escalation paths.
  • Use a light-touch growth lens to evaluate narrative performance, adoption, customer comprehension, competitive position, and field feedback. Focus on the insights and tradeoffs that should change strategy rather than owning campaign execution end to end.
  • Lead, coach, and develop senior product marketers. Set clear priorities, create accountability and build an inclusive culture that combines high standards with sustainable execution.
