Product Manager II

Microsoft Teams is looking to hire a talented Product Manager II and executor to focus on next-generation collaborative experiences. We are a team with 300M monthly users and big and bold ambitions.

Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace in Office 365.

You will reinvent these experiences by working with key partners in Office Clients, OneNote, Planner, SharePoint, and Windows to take advantage of innovations in both software and hardware.
