Principal Product Manager

The Azure Supercomputing and AI Infrastructure Products (ASAP) organization is responsible for delivering the infrastructure foundation powering the next generation of AI. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to drive end-to-end capacity delivery across Microsoft's rapidly growing AI infrastructure portfolio, including strategic NeoCloud partnerships and large-scale GPU deployments.

This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, engineering execution, product strategy, and operational excellence. You will own complex infrastructure programs from planning and contract commitments through customer-ready capacity delivery, collaborating across engineering, supply chain, datacenter operations, networking, finance, and strategic partners.

The Principal Product Manager combines deep technical curiosity with rigor. They thrive in ambiguity, challenge conventional thinking, identify opportunities for transformation, and drive measurable business impact through both operational excellence and product innovation. In addition to delivering infrastructure at scale, this role will help shape the next generation of intelligent buildout systems by applying automation, AI, and agentic workflows to improve predictability, optimize human effort, and accelerate Dock-to-Live execution.

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.
