The world's a lot different than it was 20 years ago. Work has changed. It's more collaborative, more asynchronous, more expressive. It's also way more complex. Working groups have evolved from small teams in a single company, to diverse hybrid teams consisting of contributors from different companies in different time zones that, sometimes, even speak different languages.

In Teams we have a bold ambition: To make communication and collaboration as simple as sending a text. Imagine a lawyer being able to send a collaborative document to their client, complete with a DocuSign workflow to have it approved and notarized. Picture a world where your small business can respond to clients outside of working hours with rich answers provided by AI.

We in Teams believe in this mission and have the global power and reach to accomplish it in ways unlike any other. It is our team's mission to connect all individuals and organizations in ways that provide collaboration without barriers. People are always at the center, and we humanize our experiences in ways that allow expression of personality -- even across time zones and the digital divide.

We are looking for Principal Product Manager (Teams) to join us here in Redmond.

This role will require a capable mix of product design, data driven decision making, cross-team execution, and closely partnering with both customers and your fellow PMs to ensure we ship the right thing at the right time.

As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals.
