The Central Program Management team at Microsoft Research Redmond is a collaborative team of generalists who create the connective tissue across disciplines. We thrive in the ambiguity: helping researchers and engineers focus on the right problems, create clarity, and bring big ideas to life. Our team blends vision, strategy, and execution discipline to accelerate innovation and ensure research has real-world impact (while making sure we have fun while we do it!).

We’re looking for a Senior Program Manager who shares this spirit and will join us on the journey to transform how we conduct research across the entire stack. This role combines design thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and fluency with emerging technologies to identify the right problems, shape bold opportunities, and drive them into impactful research programs.

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.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
