Principal Product Manager

Are you passionate about defining how AI assistants and agents securely connect to the systems where organizations keep their knowledge, workflows, and business data?

Microsoft 365 Core is building the Copilot Connectors - the foundation that enables Microsoft 365 Copilot and agentic experiences to discover, understand, and act across enterprise data and applications. Our vision is to make every relevant enterprise system accessible to Copilot through a consistent, secure, and governed platform, while preserving source permissions, organizational controls, and user trust.

We are looking for a highly technical Principal Product Manager to define and drive the next generation of this platform. You will operate at the intersection of product leadership, systems architecture, platform strategy, developer experience, and ecosystem development. You will partner with engineering leaders, architects, security experts, and product teams across Microsoft to shape how first-party, partner, and customer-built connectors are developed, onboarded, managed, discovered, and used across Copilot experiences.

In this role, you will own the strategy and product direction for a product that supports multiple connector patterns - including indexed enterprise knowledge, real-time retrieval, user-context access, and agent-driven actions. You will help create a coherent connector experience across Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, agents, and other Copilot surfaces, while simplifying the lifecycle for developers, administrators, and end users.

You will shape how connectors authenticate, synchronize, expose tools and data, enforce permissions, and participate in agentic workflows. You will also influence investments across multiple organizations to establish common contracts, governance models, and platform capabilities for connecting Copilot to enterprise systems at hyperscale.

This role requires deep technical credibility, solid product intuition, customer obsession, and the ability to align senior leaders across organizations around a shared product and architectural vision.

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.
