Senior Product Manager

Microsoft AI is pushing the boundaries of technology and reimagining how people engage with information, moving beyond traditional search toward intelligent systems that help users make decisions. This is a rare opportunity to help define how Search evolves in the AI era.

In Search Places, we sit at the center of this transformation. We power how users discover, evaluate, and act on information about the physical world—from finding a restaurant to making high-confidence decisions that impact their daily lives. Our work spans classic search and emerging AI-native experiences, with a clear ambition: to build systems that don’t just retrieve information but enable decisions and complete journeys.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the Search Places team to help define the future of how people discover and engage with places across traditional Search and AI experiences. Working closely with teams across MAI, you will shape how we deliver relevant, high-quality places results across these surfaces, with the opportunity to make a significant impact on how users navigate and interact with the world around them.

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.
