To create and enhance this trust, we increasingly turn to advanced technologies to anticipate and detect risks. Our work helps Microsoft grow its trustworthy 3rd party ecosystem, while proactively protecting individuals and organizations across the planet. Corruption, theft, cyberthreats, discount fraud, and human rights violations can be complex threats, often intertwined. We have an array of services that help us tackle these problems, and your leadership can help us deliver these services consistently and predictably. In this role you will drive the translation of scenarios into actionable features that bring value to internal and external stakeholders.  

Our 3rd Party Compliance Engineeringteam is powered by risk intelligence.

In our daily work, we demonstrate growth mindset, respect, accountability, connectedness, integrity, and agility. We are a diverse and inclusive group of individuals with big hearts, small egos, and a drive to protect others through technology.

Now let us talk about you. If selected to fill this role, you will become an important part of a team of experienced professionals on a journey to integrate and extend a suite of compliance products that are foundational for the company and our industry. We are looking for a talented, curious,technical program manager to simplify and drive complex project requirements, cross-team collaboration, and execution accountability across technology projects. One success factor is having a passion and desire to work under an Agile DevOps culture while enjoying the rhythm of a fast-paced startup environment. You should relish the opportunity to create world-impacting solutions that most people wouldn't believe are possible, and yet you also feel motivated when contributing in small ways. If this sounds like you, and you buy into our team's values, come help us build a foundation of trust for our world's digital future.
