Senior Marketing Manager, AI Innovation & Transformation

Overview

Help shape what marketing can do next.

Microsoft's Marketing Innovation & Transformation team is looking for curious, action-oriented marketers who can turn emerging possibilities into meaningful business impact. That could mean building an AI-powered prototype, helping teams adopt a better way of working, or connecting corporate marketing strategy with the realities of field execution.

We're hiring across several complementary opportunities with a shared mission: make marketing more innovative, connected, and effective. We welcome different combinations of marketing, technical, transformation, and strategic experience. You do not need to be an expert in every area below; we'll explore where your strengths can have the greatest impact during the interview process.

This team sits within Commercial AI Customer Marketing. We connect marketing strategy to business outcomes through storytelling and narrative, integrated commercial campaigns, customer evidence, and business and market intelligence.

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We bring a growth mindset, collaborate across boundaries, and build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture where everyone can thrive.

Responsibilities

Across these opportunities, you will:

• Partner with corporate and field marketing teams to understand business priorities, customer needs, workflow challenges, and opportunities for improvement.

• Turn ambiguous challenges into clear priorities, practical initiatives, and measurable outcomes.

• Bring together stakeholders across marketing, technology, data, and operations to experiment, learn, and deliver.

• Communicate ideas, evidence, and recommendations through compelling demonstrations, narratives, and executive briefings.

• Apply responsible innovation, security, and accessibility principles, using approved enterprise platforms where applicable.

Your primary focus will align with one of three areas:

AI innovation & solutions

Turn ambitious ideas into working marketing solutions. Design, build, demonstrate, and evaluate prototypes, agents, applications, and automations. Combine technical fluency with product marketing judgment to show what is possible, establish business value, and transition validated solutions to appropriate partners for enterprise hardening and scale.

Marketing transformation & adoption

Help marketing teams turn new capabilities into better everyday outcomes. Lead discovery, rethink workflows, translate needs into actionable requirements, and run focused pilots. Develop change management, enablement, and upskilling programs that remove adoption barriers and deliver sustained improvements in speed, productivity, quality, and cost.

Corporate & field alignment

Connect corporate priorities with field realities. Build effective two-way relationships across corporate marketing, CMO organizations, planning stakeholders, and regional and local teams. Translate market signals and execution challenges into actionable recommendations that improve program relevance, asset usability, localization readiness, and field activation.
