Customer Experience Program Manager

In the past customers asked Microsoft if they should use our cloud to get value, increasingly, customers now ask can they use our cloud given the complex regulatory and technical environments they face. Here on the Customer Experience and Assurance Team we are working from an “inside the cloud” view to provide expert help to Microsoft customers who are assessing their security, privacy, technical and regulatory risks of using Microsoft 365, Azure and the growing catalog of MS Cloud Services.

The bigger the customer, the more risks they must manage and the more resources and skill they apply to the complex concerns that emerge at the intersection of cloud technology, contractual and regulatory disciplines. Microsoft has always led the way with cloud security – now we must lead the way helping customers use Cloud services while confident of their compliance with regulatory, privacy and similar obligations.

In some cases, you’ll provide for-fee assistance to some customers who have very specific assurance needs to plan for, and you’ll deal with customer contacts of differing types including vendor management, audit assessors, lawyers, technical staff and business executives.

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.
