Senior Product Manager - Enterprise Application Platform Strategy Group
As a Senior Product Manager in the Enterprise Application Platform Strategy Group, you will use your knowledge of Microsoft products, pricing principles, license models, customer needs, and sales channels to drive pricing and licensing strategy and execution that achieves business growth.
This role will give you the opportunity to become an expert in how Microsoft monetizes its application platform products (SQL Server, BizTalk Server, SQL Azure) and to understand how these products can best be sold alongside other Microsoft offerings. You will manage projects that improve upon existing pricing and licensing rules and create new offerings to meet evolving business needs. Project examples might include work on Appliance licensing models, new models for cloud computing and virtualization, and new models for licenses sold by our partners.
It will be your responsibility to ensure coherence and consistency in overall business policies, including the SKU value proposition, channel pricing, and licensing grants. You will play a leadership role in landing our policies in the field. And you will work in close collaboration with people in other teams across the company.
A successful candidate will have excellent analytical and problem resolution skills, be able to think strategically about business issues, drive closure in cross-functional teams, and deliver strong results on tight deadlines. You must be able to simply explain complex concepts and have a passion for learning new things. The ideal candidate will have 4-7 years of experience in product management, business analysis, or product licensing. BA/BS is required. MBA or a background in enterprise software licensing is a plus.
