Microsoft Looking For Group Product Manager at Redmond, WA Full Time

The Microsoft Security division is looking for an experienced, energetic and hands on Group Product Manager – to lead a dynamic culture focused team, building admin and end-user multi-cloud Data Security and Privacy solutions.

Data Security and Privacy are perhaps the largest challenges our customers face today! These challenges are growing in speed and complexity at a seemingly exponential pace. The move to the cloud, new privacy regulations like GDPR, securing the Internet of Things (IoT), growing skill gap, increasing attacker sophistication and the growing economic opportunity for them are only going to make this more challenging and more important. Our customers need our help! Our team delivers data protection, data governance, response, and audit capabilities across the entire multi-cloud digital estate.

The team is focused on creating complete solutions that allows these crown jewels to be managed in conjunction with business and regulatory requirements. These cover a wide range of scenarios such as data protection, governance, response and incident management for security, legal or regulatory requirements, internal investigations, and many more. These have traditionally been time, labor intensive and specialized capabilities. Our own worldview presents a very different opportunity congruent with our mission – to empower our customers to easily achieve the highest levels of data governance across their entire, heterogenous digital estate by delivering intelligent, integrated, extensible, and automated solutions. We are in a unique position to deliver these capabilities in a way that no one else can.
