We are hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive tenant onboarding of Microsoft 365 services inside Microsoft's internal IT organization. Microsoft runs many internal Microsoft 365 tenants, including high profile tenants where security, compliance, and operational bars are at the highest level. The highest impact part of this role is creating clarity in ambiguous problem spaces and delivering tenants to users on time and on quality. You will take loosely defined goals, partner across many engineering teams, and turn them into clear plans, owners, milestones, and decisions. You will operate in high stakes scenarios with a broad stakeholder set including Microsoft 365 product engineering, internal business groups (for example customer support and finance), security organizations, and internal IT leadership, often with conflicting requirements that you will reconcile to keep delivery moving.

This position is based at the Redmond campus with 3 days per week work in the office and 2 days per week work from home. Relocation assistance is available.

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.

Responsibilities

• You will manage stakeholders across Microsoft 365 product engineering, internal business groups (for example customer support and finance), security organizations, and internal IT leadership. Surface conflicting requirements early and drive them to a clear decision.
• You will deliver in high stakes scenarios: keep work moving while managing risk, escalations, and tradeoffs.
• You will run program rhythms: status, milestone reviews, risk and issue management, dependency tracking, and executive readouts.
• You will communicate clearly in writing and in meetings; tailor the message for engineers, business stakeholders, and senior leaders.

Qualifications
