Description

Overview We’re living through an unprecedented moment in technology — where the fusion of healthcare, data, and generative AI is redefining what’s possible for patients, providers, and partners around the world. Microsoft’s Health & Life Sciences (HLS) organization is at the forefront of that transformation, building products that accelerate innovation and deliver meaningful impact at global scale. To power our next wave of growth, the HLS Chief Operating Office (COO) is building a new foundation for predictable, high-quality, secure, and accountable product delivery. We’re looking for an exceptional Product Planning Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the design and rollout of a unified product planning and release management ecosystem — one that connects strategy to execution and ensures we’re building the right things, at the right time, the right way. This is a career-defining opportunity to architect how product and engineering teams across HLS plan, prioritize, and deliver innovation in the AI era. You’ll drive consistency and operational excellence, bringing clarity and transparency to how we build, launch, and scale products that matter. You’ll work within the COO but operate across every corner of the business — collaborating with product management, engineering, marketing, compliance, and Microsoft partner organizations. You’ll influence leaders, orchestrate alignment, and help transform how HLS operates to win the market with confidence. #hls #hlssp #Health&LifeScience #technicalprogrammanagement, #Programmanagement #TPM Responsibilities Lead a Connected Product Planning Ecosystem Design and operationalize a unified, end-to-end product planning and release management framework across HLS.
