Principal Strategy and Planning Leader
We are at a defining moment in technology. AI is reshaping how organizations operate-embedding autonomous agents into core workflows and collapsing the time between decision and action. Security models built for a human-paced world cannot govern AI at machine speed, making trust across identity, data, and governance the decisive factor in enterprise AI adoption. Microsoft Security is uniquely positioned to lead this shift, extending our mission to make the world safer by helping customers confidently harness AI while defending against increasingly sophisticated, AI-powered threats. This is not an incremental evolution of security-it is a reinvention for the AI age.

This role operates at the intersection of strategy, execution, and insight-turning leadership priorities into executable plans, sharp metrics, and AI-powered intelligence that keep the organization on its commitments.

If you are energized by complex problems at the intersection of AI and security, and driven to shape outcomes that define an industry, this is your opportunity to help build the next generation of enterprise security.
