The X3 Strategy and Ops team within E+D is looking for a Principal Product Designer to help us inform and guide future AI initiatives within M365 and Copilot. S+O is a multi-disciplinary team composed of: UX Strategists, Researchers, Designers, UX Engineers, Storytellers, and PMs. We are take a horizontal, humanity-centered approach to developing UX perspectives on emerging challenges  at the intersection of Business, Experience & Technology. Our work crosses product silos in the form of thought leadership, creation of best practices, and what is sometimes referred to as incubation or envisioning. As we build our evidence-based, humanity-centered process, we embrace a flexible, multi-disciplinary approach to drive innovation within M365, hypothesizing, experimenting, prototyping, and refining to build perspective around near future development opportunities for our org. 

The S+O design team is new and being built as a partner team to existing incubation groups in strategy, research, UX engineering, and, more broadly, engineering and AI thought leadership teams within Microsoft. As strategists explore and engineers develop the potential of new capabilities in AI, we will experiment and design those capabilities into our products 1-2 years before they ship. We will inform leadership decision making that drives product-level development that improves and enriches the workflows of our customers. We’ll work with the familiar UX design tools to do it…Figma, wireframes, prototypes, and constant sharing and building on the ideas of others in the team. Research, hypothesize, design, prototype, learn, refine, repeat.

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.
