Job description

Overview
At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. That mission drives everything we do-including how we communicate. On the Microsoft Communications team, you'll be part of a dynamic group of storytellers who bring to life the innovations, people, and impact that define Microsoft.
Azure sits at the center of the AI era. The Azure Communications team doesn't just communicate product news-we shape how the world understands the platform powering the AI era, connecting Microsoft's innovation across silicon, systems, data, and cloud into one trusted story. Our ambition is to define and lead Azure as the integrated AI platform-silicon to agent-and the most trusted, comprehensive cloud for the AI era. It's a fast-moving, high-visibility space, and we're growing our team to meet the moment.
About the Role as the Senior Communications Manager
This is a new individual contributor role focused on telling the story of the accelerated systems that power AI, from silicon to server to software. You'll build deep relationships across our silicon and hardware partner ecosystem, shape narratives that showcase the innovation behind Microsoft's AI systems, and bring those stories to life for media, influencers and creators, and the wider technology community.
You'll also manage inbound media inquiries across Azure so we're looking for someone who can move quickly between planful, proactive storytelling and fast-turn media response across the full Azure portfolio. If you love a mix of strategy and hands-on execution, thrive on collaboration, and can translate complex, technical breakthroughs into clear, human-centered stories, this is your chance to make an outsized impact.
Who You Are
  • A passionate storyteller with genuine curiosity about AI, silicon, and the systems shaping our future.

  • A problem solver who can simplify complex, technical topics into compelling, human-centered narratives.

  • A versatile self-starter who can flex across topics and priorities-moving smoothly between planful storytelling and fast-turn media response.

  • A collaborative partner who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and builds trust with engineers, executives, customers, and partners alike.

  • A media-savvy professional who knows how to shape narratives and land them with the right audiences.

  • Passion for process and drive for creativity.

Responsibilities
  • Support communications and storytelling with Microsoft's silicon and hardware partners-showcasing the accelerated systems, from silicon to server to software, that power the AI era-and connect that work to the broader brand narrative across media, analyst, and industry audiences.

  • Manage inbound media inquiries across Azure flexing across topics and responding quickly as news breaks.

  • Support spokespeople with media prep, executive messaging, and high-profile speaking opportunities.

  • Create social and influencer engagement plans that build momentum around major product and partnership moments.

  • Create and maintain compelling content to support ongoing storytelling efforts with customers and partners.

  • Collaborate with the broader communications team at Microsoft to support cross-company events and news beats.

  • Help protect the Microsoft brand by identifying and mitigating reputation risk on an ongoing basis.

  • Embody our Culture and Values.

Qualifications
Required/minimum qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, Finance, or related field AND 4+ years communications, marketing operations, field operations, program management, project management, or related experience OR equivalent experience

Additional or preferred qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience leading communications strategy and execution.
  • Experience with partnership, deal, or ecosystem announcements, including financial- or earnings-adjacent messaging.
  • Experience working with technology partners or a partner ecosystem to build joint narratives and land co-announcement moments.
  • Proven track record driving enterprise product launches and customer storytelling.
  • Strong interest in, or experience with, AI, silicon, hardware, and infrastructure technologies, with the ability to translate technical topics for non-technical audiences.
  • Established media and industry analyst relationships, plus experience preparing and coaching spokespeople.
  • Exemplary interpersonal, writing, and communication skills.
  • Proven track record juggling multiple priorities and stakeholders-and flexing across topics-in a fast-changing, fast-breaking news environment.
  • Strong diplomatic skills and the ability to work effectively within a collaborative, cross-functional team.
  • Ability to deal with change and ambiguity while maintaining professionalism and a good sense of humor.
  • Strong project management with ability to drive multiple projects at once.
