Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

As Senior Director, Frontier Transformation Marketing, you will lead the team that sets the direction for downstream commercial marketing and field enablement across Microsoft. Your organization will create the Frontier Transformation narrative, thought leadership platforms, field seller assets, and the GTM foundation that powers integrated campaigns, industry motions, solution plays, and seller execution at global scale.
