Product Manager II

Overview

The Trust Experiences and Compliance (TEC) team’s mission is to make Windows the most trusted platform for business and life. We are redefining how compliance is designed, implemented, and sustained across Windows. Our vision is simple: make compliance happen seamlessly. We are building innovative, AI-powered and agentic solutions that integrate directly into engineering workflows, reduce compliance toil, strengthen control effectiveness, and enable teams to build trusted products by default.

The Compliance arm under TEC enables Windows + Devices teams to ship innovative experiences responsibly by translating evolving internal policies, regulatory obligations, and customer expectations across Responsible AI, Privacy, and Data domains into clear product requirements, scalable review processes, durable controls, verifiable evidence, and timely release decisions.

We are seeking a Product Manager II to drive complex compliance programs across Windows + Devices. This role sits at the intersection of product development, engineering, privacy, data governance, responsible AI, trust, legal, safety, security, regulatory and audit readiness. The successful candidate will help teams move from evolving requirements to concrete design decisions, privacy and data assessments, responsible AI reviews, risks and mitigations, approvals, and continuous compliance — without losing sight of product velocity, customer control, or trust.

You will own cross-functional programs spanning privacy reviews, Responsible AI system and model reviews, data governance, consent and data-use controls, diagnostic and required service data, access governance, data portability, transparency documentation, release readiness, regulatory implementation, and audit evidence. You will create durable operating models that make obligations clear, ownership explicit, decisions traceable, and compliance increasingly automated and built into the engineering lifecycle.

The regulatory portfolio includes obligations under GDPR, Digital Markets Act, EU Data Act, Executive Order 14117, EU AI Act, California AI Transparency Act, South Korea AI Act, Colorado AI Act, and other applicable global requirements.

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.
