Principal Product Manager - Microsoft Advertising Monetization

Overview

Microsoft Advertising is building the systems that help sales teams, business leaders, finance partners, and product teams understand performance, manage monetization, and operate the business with confidence. Within Microsoft AI Monetization, we are hiring two Principal Product Managers to lead distinct but connected areas of the advertising business: Data & Reporting and Billing & Monetization Platform.

The Data & Reporting role will own the reporting foundation across Search, Display and Video, and Acquisitions. Sales teams and leaders rely on reporting to run the business, but today the portfolio is supported through a mix of systems and part-time ownership. This role will bring dedicated product leadership to create a more unified, reliable view of performance, reduce time spent reconciling data, and help leaders identify risks and opportunities faster.

The Billing & Monetization Platform role will own the end-to-end monetization flow across Ads, Xandr, and Gaming — from campaign delivery to usage, billing, invoicing, payment, and revenue recognition. This role will drive modernization of the core billing platform, support the MAP migration, ensure revenue accuracy and compliance, and lead critical cutover work for Xandr and Gaming while keeping the business audit-ready.

Both roles require strong product judgment, deep cross-functional leadership, comfort operating in complex systems, and the ability to turn ambiguity into durable product strategy. These are high-impact ownership roles for product leaders who want to shape the infrastructure, data, and monetization capabilities that help Microsoft Advertising run and grow at scale.

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.
