Job Description

Our purpose is to earn fans and drive growth by building emotional connections to delight and empower everyone. We engage with consumers globally throughout their shopping journeys, navigating both physical storefronts and digital visits across Direct and Partner Channels in Windows, M365 and Surface. Together with our ecosystem partners, we strategize and implement plans for customer engagement and economic growth. 

As a member of our team, you’ll be part of growing a multi-billion-dollar business, charting new areas of innovation, and impacting billions of lives around the world. You also will be a part of a culture centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day.  

In this role, you will develop our strategy and execution plan for building product knowledge and brand advocacy with retail sellers and driving conversion with consumers in-store and online through our key retail partners. You’ll work with channel marketers to understand product roadmaps, priorities and seasonal campaigns to activate and amplify through our 3rd party agencies and evangelism platforms. You’ll work with partner marketers to build a coverage strategy to drive partner readiness and create compelling partner experiences. You’ll facilitate a globally consistent, locally relevant approach to influence consumers and retail sellers in targeted areas of the consumer shopping journey. Success is measured by execution excellence, audience engagement & education, conversion, sell-through and brand love.   

You will act as a trusted advisor to drive strategic decisions about partner experiences and readiness. In this role, you’ll be the voice of the consumer and the face of the brand at retail to support our business ambitions and business goals. A true omnichannel function, you will leverage the power of people to engage with our audiences across digital and physical channels, building a strong community of Microsoft representatives and trainers to expand the reach and impact of the brand.  

There is an art and science to delivering great readiness and influence programs. We are looking for someone with a broad-based understanding of evangelism and influencer marketing, but also a data-driven mindset and operational expertise to optimize our coverage models to drive the highest ROI.  

Working with the Worldwide Partner Experiences Team, you will shape the product storytelling, sales motion and in-store experience and how we humanize the shopper journey online. You’ll be joining a tight-knit global community with deep expertise and a passion for transforming traditional labor programs into omnichannel readiness and influencer marketing. Being a member of Consumer Channel & Partner Marketing team means you’ll be part of a cross-functional team focused on driving channel marketing for an exciting and growing ecosystem. You’ll have the opportunity to share feedback around store-level and market trends, product feedback and establish best practices for influencing retail sales professionals and consumers, leveraging the global infrastructure for support and shared platforms.  

This role is flexible in that you can work up to 50% from home based on proximity to a Microsoft office.   

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.
