Every day, we bring our insatiable curiosity and customer obsession to the table, challenging ourselves and each other, to make tomorrow better for the millions of businesses we empower around the globe. As one of Microsoft’s growth businesses (with consistent YoY double digit growth), key monetization pillars, and Customer Solution Areas (CSA), we contribute over $10B in annual revenue. On the Microsoft Advertiser Platform, we build high scale services for our customers, as well as our Field teams across Sales, Support and Marketing that service these customers. Businesses depend on us to onboard to the Microsoft Ad eco-system, manage their ad creatives and budgets, and set up and optimize their marketing campaigns to get the highest return on investment in meeting their marketing goals. We have the triple challenge of accelerating growth of ad creatives from these advertisers, increasing our fair share of their marketing budgets, and winning fans and advocates among them, by creating love for our product.

Are you ready for that challenge?

As CEO of your product portfolio, you will shape these products every day. You will walk in our customers’ shoes – building on engagements with them, you will understand how they are using our product today and what they need from our product tomorrow. You will deeply understand the industry we are serving, the business we are in and our competition. You will identify new growth initiatives, craft product vision and the strategy to realize it. You will lead innovation, using data to experiment, learn, and iterate, without fear of failure. You will work across the company with other product groups, as well as across the aisle with other disciplines. We need leaders who can keep the big picture in focus, while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. You will partner with, and inspire, our development team to deliver significant value to our customers and business. Besides working with these technical peers, you will also work well with non-engineering disciplines such as our UX Research/Design/Content, Sales, Support, Marketing, Business Development, Operations, Compliance, Legal and Finance partners – you will leverage and collaborate with them to keep a close pulse on our customers, define best-in-class experiences, evangelize our vision and roadmap externally, take changes to market, and then measure their impact against customer and business goals.
