Microsoft's Global Strategy &amp; Operations (GSO) team turns strategy into execution for the Core commercial organization.

This leader is ultimately accountable for the quality, timeliness, and business impact of everything the team delivers, orchestrating cross-MCAPS alignment and executing with excellence each executive rhythm through a rigorous, end-to-end execution process, from building the execution plan through to final delivery.</p><p>
This leader must be agile, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and comfortably represent the team while interfacing directly with senior CVP stakeholders and their teams. They set direction and priorities, remove blockers, coach the individual contributors on the team, and build a resilient, high-performing operation that scales with the business. The role requires an exceptionally high level of attention to detail, strategic thinking, a drive for operational excellence across every process, and the ability to bring structure to ambiguity while developing those same capabilities in others.</p><p>

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As AI agents become part of how the world works, that empowerment increasingly depends on trust. These agents are only as efficient and reliable as the tools made available to them. As organizations connect agents to a fast-growing ecosystem of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, plugins, skills, connectors, and custom integrations, the ability to onboard, discover, and govern those tools becomes essential to enterprise trust. Today this is a fragmented and fast-emerging space. We're looking for a leader who can bring coherence to this tool's governance story.</div><div>
