Microsoft AI Experiences (AIX) is building the future of AI experiences across Copilot, Bing, Edge, and partner surfaces that reach hundreds of millions of people.
This role sits within the AIX Strategy team and will help shape strategy and investment decisions across the organization. We’re looking for a highly analytical strategist who can bring structure to ambiguous business questions, build a rigorous fact base from complex data, and translate analysis into clear recommendations for senior leaders.
You will develop forecasting and predictive models, evaluate market and competitive dynamics, size new opportunities, and build pricing and monetization strategies. The work will require bringing together internal and external data, identifying the metrics that matter, testing assumptions through scenario and sensitivity analysis, and developing business cases that inform product, go-to-market, and investment decisions.
The ideal candidate combines the quantitative rigor of investment banking or strategic finance with strong business judgment and strategic thinking. They are comfortable operating with incomplete information, can independently determine the right analytical approach, and can turn complex analysis into a clear point of view on what Microsoft should do and why.
AI Experiences employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated Microsoft Hub in the U.S. are expected to work from the office at least four days per week. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction.
