Azure wins when our technical attributes show up clearly—in real customer scenarios, grounded in the value our products deliver. And Azure’s true differentiation comes through in the combined value of our developer tools, AI, data, infrastructure, security and more as a unified platform. From our most experienced executives to our marketing team and global field organization, they all depend on our ability to consistently, reliably communicate technical value connected customer outcomes.
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Azure Technical Marketing & Lead Demo Marketer to lead development of our Azure demo platform and to build a Demo Center of Excellence (COE) across Azure. This role that operates Azure-wide—partnering closely with leaders across Developer Tools, AI, Data, Azure Infrastructure, and Security teams, while collaborating with marketing partners across Microsoft (including M365 Copilot and others) to bring an integrated product story to life. This demo narrative will surface across flagship 1P events, customer conversations, product launches, analyst engagements, and digital/social outbound communications. This role is also tightly aligned to the Microsoft Executive Briefing Center (EBC)—supporting customer briefings and helping maintain a world-class, on-site demo environment that showcases Azure end-to-end with credibility, reliability, and relevance.
Beyond just demo creation, you will help to build a technical-led culture across Azure where our teams can embrace the depth of the portfolio and integrate real-world customer use cases and product depth into their everyday workflows. You will define what “exec-ready” and “field-ready” looks like for technical storytelling and demos, and you’ll build repeatable mechanisms that scale. And with an eye for competitive differentiation, you will identify and communicate the key value in Azure that is showcased in inspiring, scenario-led demos to decision makers in our customers.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Azure Product Marketing, you will operate as the connective tissue across product teams and marketing surfaces—driving alignment, quality, and reuse. Success will be measured by adoption of the demo platform and COE assets, impact in major launch moments and executive engagements, and the ability to consistently translate Azure’s technical capabilities into clear, credible customer narratives and demonstrations.
