Microsoft’s Cloud business is expanding, and the Cloud Supply Chain (CSCP) organization is responsible for enabling the infrastructure underlying this growth including AI! CSCP’s vision is to empower customers to achieve more by delivering Cloud Capacity Differentiated at Scale. Our mission is to deliver capacity for all cloud services predictably through intelligent systems driven by continuous learning and a world class organization.

The Demand Planning team is one of the most central functions within Capacity Supply Chain & Provisioning (CSCP). We drive forecasts, plans and capacity decisions which directly impact Microsoft's cloud customers, as well as our margins. To do this successfully, we partner closely across Microsoft with Engineering, Finance, Supply Chain, Data Centers, New Product Introduction (NPI) and Deployment Engineering. The Demand Planning Manager will plan development and engagement, while impacting customer capacity availability and the bottom-line cost for the Azure Business. This role is demanding, but also offers opportunity for high impact, visibility, and growth.
