Microsoft Commerce is placing large bets across Consumer, Merchant, Partner, and Payments in a market being reshaped by agentic commerce and a live contest over the protocols and payer models that will govern it. We are looking for a Senior Director of Product Strategy to own the analytical and narrative spine of Commerce strategy: the person who can look across the whole agentic-commerce field and our position in it, size the opportunity, name the bet, and prove the business model works — then write it so it lands in the room.
As a Senior Director of Product Strategy you will work as an individual-contributor force-multiplier to the VP. You will set net-new strategic direction that the pillar teams build against, holds the entire Commerce picture at once, and reaches a defensible call: what we bet on, who pays and why, how big the prize is, and the story that carries it through review. You will reason from first principles about business models and market opportunity, bring structure to high-stakes product decisions, and turn dense analysis into one clear, defensible narrative. Leverage comes from the quality of the thinking and the clarity of the call rather than the size of a team.
The Commerce Strategy Lead owns strategy across the full Commerce portfolio, including:
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.
