You're fluent at communicating with product managers and developers, bringing your team together to simplify, integrate, and co-create successful customer experiences. You’re also comfortable working with others to build alignment on what we want as a team, what our industry partners and customers need and how we’ll build Data & AI solutions that will help make Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services an offering that our partners and customers love.
You’ll work in a focused team collaborating with interaction and AI designers, researchers, data scientists, product managers and design leads. The role’s broad scope will give you ample room to flex your design muscles — both on projects that have immediate impact on our Microsoft cloud business as well as explorations that shape our long-term AI strategy, vision and UX direction of its products.
