Principal Product Manager

Vision & roadmap - Define the multi-quarter strategy for Azure Bastion, connecting customer needs and market opportunities to a clear investment roadmap. Strengthen the core virtual machine access experience and evaluate where extending secure access to additional workload types would create meaningful value. Windows & Linux experiences - Own the strategy for seamless RDP and SSH access across Windows and Linux workloads. Partner with engineering to address differences in authentication, client experiences, session workflows, and troubleshooting across browser and native client access. Enterprise, hybrid & multi-cloud strategy - Understand secure access needs across complex Azure estates, on-premises environments, and other clouds. Define where Bastion should invest, integrate, or partner, accounting for connectivity, identity, governance, and operational requirements. Build strategy & sequencing - Decide which customer scenarios, integrations, and access capabilities to pursue, in what order, and why. Balance customer demand, security value, business opportunity, engineering effort, and ongoing service costs. Product backlog & execution - Own and prioritize the backlog end-to-end. Translate ambiguous problems into clear requirements, success measures, and shippable increments; guide tradeoffs from discovery through launch and iteration. Security, governance & trust - Partner with security and identity teams to advance capabilities such as least-privilege access, private connectivity, session auditing, and enterprise policy integration. Make strong security and straightforward administration central to product decisions. Customer engagement - Be the voice of administrators, developers, security teams, and enterprise platform owners. Lead discovery, design partnerships, and feedback loops that ground the roadmap in real operational needs. Resolve dependencies and drive integrations that feel coherent across Azure. Service quality & product outcomes - Define and track success through adoption, connection success rates, session performance, reliability, customer satisfaction, and cost efficiency. Use telemetry, customer feedback, and operational learnings to prioritize improvements. Adoption & business growth - Partner with marketing, sales, and field teams on positioning, packaging, pricing recommendations, and customer enablement. Reduce friction from initial evaluation through enterprise deployment and sustained usage.
