Overview

Microsoft Edge sits at the center of how users experience the web, Windows, and AI-powered productivity. As the browser evolves from a productivity surface into an intelligent, AI-first platform, we are extending the Edge charter forward—across core browser capabilities, AI experiences, Windows Copilot integration, and the underlying web platform (Chromium).

We are seeking a Principal Product Manager who will play a defining role in shaping the long-term product direction of Microsoft Edge. This role is about devising product shape, not just shipping features—setting vision, defining bets, influencing adjacent platforms, and ensuring that Edge continues to be a first-class surface for users, developers, and the broader Windows + Copilot ecosystem.

This is a senior, high-impact role intended for product leaders who thrive in ambiguity, think at ecosystem scale, and are motivated by extending a charter rather than executing within fixed boundaries.

The primary intent of this role is to extend the Edge charter forward.

This includes:

• Evolving Edge from a modern browser into an AI-native application runtime.
• Defining how AI, Copilot, and browser primitives come together to unlock new user experiences.
• Influencing the future of the web platform and Chromium to better serve Edge, Windows, and Microsoft’s AI strategy.
• Shaping how Edge differentiates while remaining grounded in open web standards and ecosystem compatibility.

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.

Starting January 26, 2026, Microsoft AI (MAI) employees who live within a 50-mile commute of a designated Microsoft office in the U.S. or 25-mile commute of a non-U.S., country-specific location are expected to work from the office at least four days per week. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction.

Responsibilities

As a Principal Product Manager in Edge, you will:

Product Strategy & Vision:

• Define the long-term product shape and north star for Edge core capabilities, AI features in Edge, and deep Windows Copilot integration.
• Identify and frame high-leverage problems where browsers, AI, and operating systems intersect, and turn them into clear product strategies.
• Extend the Edge charter by influencing adjacent surfaces such as Windows Copilot, system-level experiences, and developer platforms.

Core Browser & Platform Leadership:

• Own and evolve core browser capabilities (e.g., navigation, state, performance, privacy, extensibility, and user trust).
• Drive product thinking across platform foundations including profiles, sync, identity, security, and performance.
• Partner closely with engineering to shape foundational investments, not just feature roadmaps.

AI & Copilot Experiences:

• Define AI-first user experiences in Edge that go beyond incremental enhancements.
• Shape how Copilot manifests inside the browser, across tasks such as creation, discovery, comprehension, and automation.
• Collaborate with Windows and M365 Copilot teams to ensure coherence, clarity of roles, and differentiated value for Edge.

Web Platform & Chromium Influence:

• Act as a product voice for Microsoft within the Chromium ecosystem.
• Influence web platform direction to unlock future Edge and Windows scenarios.
• Balance open-web principles with Edge-specific differentiation and strategic advantage.

Cross‑Org Leadership

• Work across highly diverse stakeholders: engineering, design, research, data science, Windows, Copilot, developer platform teams, legal, and privacy.
• Navigate ambiguity, negotiate tradeoffs, and align teams around shared outcomes without direct authority.
• Represent Edge product strategy in executive and cross-company forums.

Data‑Driven & Customer‑Obsessed Execution

• Use data, user research, and experimentation to validate hypotheses and drive prioritization.
• Ensure product bets are grounded in user value, long-term leverage, and strategic fit.
• Translate learning into scalable platform investments.

Qualifications Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development.
• Solid experience shipping and evolving large-scale, user-facing platforms.
• Proven ability to operate at both strategic and execution depth.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep understanding of browsers, operating systems, developer platforms, or the web ecosystem.
• Experience working with or influencing open-source platforms (e.g., Chromium).
• Solid product intuition for AI-powered experiences and human‑AI interaction.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence in complex, cross-org environments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
