How you can make an impact

You will be working in the Azure, Windows, and Industry Monetization organization in the Data, AI, and Analytics group.  In particular, the team you will work with focuses on building the future of Azure analytics.  While analytics is already a meaningful portfolio, the team is on a mission to accelerate analytics growth even further in a market that is expected to grow 28% annually to $300B+ by 2030.  With portfolio growth comes the opportunity to tackle interesting challenges and questions, work in a dynamic environment, and get significant exposure to senior leadership.

While the team covers many products, a key focus is on Microsoft Fabric.  Launched in late 2023, Fabric is a SaaS analytics platform that is key to unlocking analytics growth for Azure in the years ahead.  Fabric offers users a compelling seamless customer experience across a wide range of ever-expanding analytics workloads (including our Copilot AI capabilities) that is enhanced and complemented by the integrated business model the team has created.

As the team continues the analytics growth journey, we are looking for a business planner to develop business strategies, compelling monetization approaches, and effective packaging and pricing approaches to capture mindshare and create profitable growth.

Your role will be developing and implementing strategies and offers for organizations and users who are looking to unlock insights and better decision making.  Your work will help build preference and revenue growth for Azure.  This work will also build on and connect to the broader Azure efforts underway in Infra, Databases, Industry, as well as AI.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.

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.
