You will engage directly with executives at Fortune 2500 organizations, diagnose systemic friction, and drive measurable change across the product and the field. Curiosity, analytical rigor, and a hands-on instinct to actually use and test the product are essential to success.  Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. ResponsibilitiesDrive strategic customer engagements. Build and own trusted relationships with our most strategic accounts, representing the voice of the customer inside the product group and the voice of the product to the customer.  Manage executive escalations. Act as the senior point of accountability for critical escalations, coordinating rapid, cross-functional response, communicating clearly with executive stakeholders, and driving issues to resolution.  Lead “Get to Green” recovery engagements. Own customer recovery for critical, at-risk accounts: assess root causes, build and execute a structured recovery plan, align engineering, product, FastTrack, and field partners, and restore customer health and confidence.  Gather and synthesize customer feedback and product asks. Systematically capture feedback, feature requests, and unmet needs; translate them into clear, prioritized, well-evidenced input for product and engineering teams.  Identify systemic issues and improve product quality. Move beyond one-off fixes, analyze patterns across accounts and signals to surface systemic problems, then partner with engineering to drive durable quality improvements.  Enable adoption of Copilot in Office. Help customers successfully adopt and scale Copilot and our newest AI capabilities within Office, removing blockers and sharing best practices that unlock value.  Partner across the organization. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering, product, FastTrack, and field teams, and partner closely with product groups beyond OPG, such as Copilot, to align on priorities, close the loop on customer commitments, and deliver a coherent customer experience.  Test and pressure-test the product. Use the product deeply and hands-on, replicating customer scenarios to validate quality, anticipate issues, and ground your recommendations in firsthand experience. QualificationsRequired Qualifications:  Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering,...
