## Description

At Microsoft AI, we are building advanced AI systems that help people and organizations achieve more. We are creating a trusted, repeatable system that turns high-value Microsoft product data into compliant, secure, researcher-ready assets for AI training and evaluation while protecting users and honoring product commitments.

This individual-contributor role sits within the Microsoft AI Lab and drives the day-to-day technical program work required to move high-value data from request through compliant acquisition, preparation, access, use, and refresh. You will own execution across the data lifecycle: clarifying researcher requirements, identifying accountable source owners, ensuring data is properly obtained and approved, coordinating secure transfer and access, overseeing scrubbing and quality validation, documenting permitted uses and controls, and maintaining reliable refresh and deletion processes.

**Responsibilities**

- Drive data programs from intake through delivery by translating researcher needs into clear requirements, milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, and acceptance criteria.

- Unblock acquisition and access by coordinating with product data owners, engineering teams, legal, privacy, security, Responsible AI, procurement, and external partners; escalate decisions with concise context and recommended paths.

- Manage day-to-day technical relationships with source teams and data partners, including data specifications, transfer methods, schemas, storage, access patterns, service expectations, issue resolution, and refresh commitments.

- Coordinate data preparation and remediation, including ingestion, scrubbing, de-identification, credential and PII removal, deduplication, filtering, quality checks, and validation against researcher requirements and compliance controls.

- Oversee recurring refreshes and lifecycle operations by defining schedules, monitoring freshness and delivery health, resolving failures, validating replacement datasets, and ensuring expired or disallowed data is removed as required.

- Maintain clear program artifacts and operating rhythms, including status, decisions, risks, control evidence, issue logs, handoffs, and metrics for cycle time, quality, refresh reliability, compliance, and researcher readiness.

**Qualifications** **Required Qualifications**

- Bachelor’s Degree AND 6+ years of experience in engineering, product or technical program management, data operations, privacy-sensitive technology, or equivalent experience.

- Experience driving complex, cross-organizational technical programs with multiple dependencies, clear milestones, risk management, and measurable delivery outcomes.

- Experience working with data pipelines or lifecycle operations, including acquisition, ingestion, transformation, quality validation, access, refresh, retention, and deletion.

- Demonstrated ability to influence without authority, build productive technical relationships, resolve ambiguous ownership, and communicate decisions and escalations clearly.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Bachelor’s Degree AND 8+ years of experience in engineering, product or technical program management, AI data operations, data governance, privacy-sensitive products, or equivalent experience.

- Experience delivering data programs across product, research, engineering, legal, privacy, security, Responsible AI, and platform teams in a large or highly regulated environment.

- Strong technical judgment and written communication skills, with experience defining operational controls, troubleshooting data delivery issues, creating scalable processes, and using metrics to improve cycle time, quality, compliance, and refresh reliability.

The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $142,800 – $274,800 per year. There is a different range applicable to specific work locations, within the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metropolitan area, and the base pay range for this role in those locations is USD $188,000 – $304,200 per year.
