Would you like to spend your days protecting hundreds of millions of people from the most sophisticated cyber threats on the planet? Are you a product visionary with the technical depth to go deep with engineers and the strategic instincts to shape a multi-billion dollar business? Do you want to lead the product that sits at the absolute core of Microsoft's security portfolio?
MDE is the anchor of the Microsoft Defender business, and the product that organizations around the world trust to protect their most critical assets. This is not a supporting role. This is the role. The one where your decisions shape how enterprises defend themselves against threat actors, ransomware gangs, and the spectrum of modern adversaries.
We are looking for a Director of Product Management who will own everything: the strategy, the roadmap, the customer and analyst relationships, and the competitive narrative. You will set the direction for a product, and you will ensure Defender remains the best endpoint protection solution in the world.
This role is based in Redmond, leading a truly global organization with core development hubs in Redmond, Tel Aviv, and Hyderabad. You will work horizontally across Microsoft at the highest levels, partnering with M365, Windows, Azure, Microsoft AI, and our internal Digital and CISO organizations.
