Azure is transforming that experience for enterprise customers and fast-growing AI teams, moving from complex, reactive processes toward a simpler, more predictable, and scalable way to plan and deliver capacity.

You will work with engineering, product, finance, and operations leaders to uncover friction, translate customer and business needs into clear requirements, and make recommendations that shape revenue impact and the experience of customers across global markets. You will be successful when customers and internal teams can make faster, higher-quality decisions, navigate fewer handoffs, and rely on more consistent ways of working at Azure scale.
