Responsibilities

• Partner with engineering, research, and technical leaders to coordinate cross-team initiatives, track progress, and surface risks, dependencies, and follow-ups to maintain momentum.

• Ensure the right instrumentation and evaluation signals exist, telemetry, quality metrics, and end-to-end validation, so teams can iterate quickly while maintaining a clear bar for production outcomes.
• Produce clear, structured materials—documentation, status updates, and summaries—to support shared understanding and informed decision-making across stakeholders.
• Support the intake, prioritization, and sequencing of work across Excel Copilot programs, helping balance scope, capacity, and near-term execution needs.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve program operations, applying TPM best practices to reduce friction and increase clarity and follow-through.
• Advance the AI frontier responsibly while embodying Microsoft’s culture and values.
