Customer Experience Program Mgmt Specialist - Microsoft : Job Details

Within the Azure Chief Product Office organization, the Customer and Field Experience (CFx) team is focused on supporting successful Azure adoption among top customers and strategic segments. The team also equips partners in the Field-sales and support organizations-to broaden adoption. Several roles within the Customer and Field Experience (CFx) team collaborate to achieve this goal. This particular role involves direct engagement with Field teams and the customers they support, ensuring that Microsoft's Field organization can scale effectively to meet the evolving needs of Azure customers. Success in this role requires building systems such as tools, forums, and skilling programs that enable scale, while also addressing specific, often bespoke, customer needs-especially during the sales cycle where Azure Core may still be developing standardized solutions.

As a Customer Experience Program Mgmt Specialist, you will work closely with Microsoft Customer and Partner Solutions (MCAPs) Field teams, serving as their general contractor across Azure Core and acting as a key engineering point of contact. You will collaborate with Azure Product Groups to address new or unique customer needs, streamline the engagement model between Field and Product Groups, and develop improvements that allow Microsoft Customer and Partner Solutions (MCAPs) to scale independently. This role may require up to 25% travel.

You will play a critical role in bridging engineering and customer-facing teams, ensuring that customer feedback informs product development and that Field teams are equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. Your ability to navigate ambiguity, build scalable systems, and foster collaboration across teams will be essential to driving impact in this role.

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.
