APAC Region Design Lead- Technical Infrastructure

Microsoft's mission is to empower every individual and organization globally to achieve more. Our employees 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 an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. 

Within this context, Microsoft’s Cloud Operations & Innovation (CO+I) team serves as the engine that drives our cloud services. Our infrastructure comprises a vast global portfolio of over one hundred data centers and one million servers. This foundation is managed by a team of subject matter experts, who work diligently to support digital services for more than one billion customers and twenty million businesses across over ninety countries worldwide. 

We are seeking an APAC Leader that will lead, inspire, and support a team dedicated to driving excellence in Azure Region Design. The ideal candidate will exhibit the ability to navigate deep technical complexity while fostering executive-level strategic discussions and decision-making. This role demands a strong exemplar of Microsoft leadership behaviors and someone capable of creating an impact beyond their immediate areas of responsibility. 

The Region Design and Technology team spearheads the infrastructure principles and strategy (power, telecommunications, and data centers) that underpin Azure Region launches, expansions, and technology advancements. Our global team collaborates across various disciplines to apply design principles and introduce new technologies. As the Principal Technical Program Manager leading the APAC Region Design team, you will be responsible for creating, socializing, and obtaining alignment for incremental and long-term designs of Azure and AI Regions across the APAC geography. This includes expanding current regions, developing new regions, and integrating cutting-edge technologies as they emerge. 

Aligned with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture consistently. As a group, CO+I focuses on personal and professional development for all employees and offers training and growth opportunities, including Career Rotation Programs, Diversity & Inclusion training and events, and professional certifications.
