The mission of the Microsoft CISO Organization is to defend Microsoft, our customers, and our partners from cybersecurity threats. Our strategy is grounded in advanced threat intelligence, proactive threat hunting, resilient security operations, sustainable governance, and use of AI to anticipate, detect, and respond to even the most sophisticated attacks.
The CISO Operations Security Implementation & Capability OSIC team plays a critical role in turning the CISO strategy into reality. OSIC is responsible for scaling, systematizing, and operationalizing cybersecurity initiatives across the CISO Organization and across Microsoft.

Role Overview
We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to join our CISO Operations Security Implementation & Capability OSIC team.

Applying strategic insight, enterprise influence, technical and security judgment, and systems thinking, you will translate executive intent into scalable operating models and organizational capabilities; clarify outcomes, governance, decision rights, dependencies, sequencing, and risk-based tradeoffs; and orchestrate execution across teams with different incentives, cadences, and authorities. You will instrument outcomes, diagnose drift, and use AI, telemetry, and other evidence to course-correct priorities and investments. As a trusted advisor and force multiplier, you will enable senior leaders across engineering, security, operations, risk and compliance, and business organizations to make informed decisions, remove systemic barriers, drive adoption and change, and deliver long-term security impact across Microsoft.
