We do this by bringing together the entire breadth of our customers’ data assets with personalized user and intent understanding, to create a compliant and agile platform that democratizes the ability for developers to build intelligent M365 applications.

Responsibilities
• Technical experience - API Design, Authentication, Authorization.
• Leadership - You need to be expert at leading cross-functional teams on complex projects. To quote our CEO Satya… great leaders provide energy, clarity & results.
• Energy - Bring it! Microsoft moves fast, and the cloud industry moves even faster. We’re looking for passionate, motivated people who inject energy and a sense of urgency into the projects and teams they work on.
• Clarity - Clarity is perhaps our most important value add. New is always hard and comes with a long list of questions. Our job is to align everyone on the same plan and keep them there.
• Results - We’re looking for doers… people who consistently get stuff done. How do we measure success? Deliver the right infrastructure at the right time in the right place at the right cost and with minimal surprises. That’s a fantastic result!
• Collaborator - Partnering with others is at the heart of this role, so top-notch collaboration skills are essential. Great collaborators aren’t just easy to work with - they also raise tough questions, challenge others as necessary and negotiate win/win solutions.
• Presence - Can you build relationships and influence people… from execs to individuals, across business and technical disciplines? Are you equally deft at leading cross-functional meetings and building rapport in 1:1 conversations?
• Framer - Providing effective structure to solve complex problems, organize teams and communicate to stakeholders. Excellent framing rallies people and brings clarity.
• Learner - Working on a fast-paced industry requires an ability and appetite to learn quickly… and to keep learning. In short, we are looking for people with growth mindsets.
