Principal Product Manager

Shape the strategy for the capacity and platform work that matters most across M365 Copilot and turn that direction into a roadmap teams can execute. Take on high-impact problems across the charter, including capacity intake and planning, supply and demand balancing, buildout to SLA, GPU utilization and platform health, and model onboarding and migration, and drive them to a result. Bring a strong customer mindset—partner with Copilot scenario teams to understand their needs and translate them into platform capabilities and capacity investments. Use AI-driven analysis of demand signals, telemetry, and operational data to forecast more accurately, catch capacity and reliability issues early, and fix them at the root. Use agents, automation, and AI Ops to analyze data, coordinate work, and act on what you learn—turning manual, ticket-driven intake and allocation into intelligent, self-service systems. Model capacity and hardware tradeoffs with AI prototyping and scenario testing before committing investment, paired with solid product, engineering, and financial judgment. Weigh cost, performance, and reliability against each other, and prioritize multi-year capacity investments with partners across engineering, finance, and supply chain. Advance platform, model, and hardware transition strategy, and help the platform run more efficiently as AI workloads grow. Set success metrics, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), and KPIs (key performance indicators), and shape investment priorities with leadership. Explain complex technical and financial tradeoffs to executives in a way that leads to decisions. Mentor other product managers on the team, grow their capabilities, and move the team toward better, AI-forward ways of working.
