Job Description

Overview

Growth Design has one job: get people to build a Copilot daily habit that enhances their work experience. What you design will have tremendous influence over teams across M365 + Windows.


As a Senior Product Designer , you will partner closely with PMs and designers from other teams to craft experiences that change user behavior. You will understand the business goals, desired user behaviors, and constraints. Proactive communication is critical – you will do a lot of question asking, convincing, and challenging.

You will split your time between two ‘modes’ of design - rapidly generating design explorations where the goal is to inspire, promote brainstorming and alignment; and digging deep to craft end-to-end experiences that balance ‘moving metrics’ and providing delightful, engaging, and trustworthy experiences. You will partner with content design and research to ensure that your designs are coherent and rooted in customer understanding. Much of your work will be self-directed; at the same time, you’ll need to stay in sync with partners and stakeholders.

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.
