We’re seeking an exceptional Design leader to create and lead a team focused on AI innovation in SharePoint and M365. Our products drive employee engagement, culture, and communication in a hybrid world for hundreds of thousands of organizations and millions of people worldwide.

Integrate and advance knowledge management in SharePoint and build innovative new system capabilities on top of this foundation. Work on high visibility UX that integrates across M365 products and utilizes the Microsoft semantic index to power relevant content that reaches employees where they work and enables them to be more productive, collaborative, and connected. Drive innovation using the latest in AI capabilities and explore new product value in knowledge and content.

This is a rare opportunity to have both meaningful impact on the design and development of innovative content products and to grow and shape a team of incredible designers.

Finally, you love working across disciplines and collaborating with other teams to bring about the best outcome.

Our Culture

Our Studio is a diverse team of designers, researchers, and UX Engineers who partner closely with PM, Engineering, Marketing, and other disciplines.

We embrace the Microsoft Model, Coach, Care management framework and support the growth of each individual on the team.

We have a proven track record of delivering strong business results, driven by close partnerships and a shared commitment to excellence. While much of the team is based in Redmond, Washington, this role will play a key part in driving impact from Ireland. We work together across locations, contributing to each other’s work to make it better, reusing rather than reinventing. We celebrate our wins, learn from challenges, and foster an environment where growth, collaboration, and fun are part of how we achieve success.

We focus on creating an inclusive workplace where all people and ideas are welcome. To this end, we have created local mentoring rings and communities where we can learn from each other and grow. We focus on having inclusive interactions that foster open dialog. We are dedicated to the work of creating a strong, inclusive, and transparent culture – a safe place to do our best work

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.
