A Product Owner here translates Microsoft's ambitions in CA into milestones a team can actually hit by Friday. Here, a mid-level Product Owner owns their work, partners with a tight team, and earns $97,000 - $144,000 while building their career.

Key Responsibilities

• Streamline operational workflows to reduce cost and improve efficiency

• Spot when a mid-level initiative has quietly lost its sponsor
• Sit in on mid-level hiring to keep the org chart matching the strategy
• Watch competitor moves and tell Microsoft which ones actually matter
• Spot the bottleneck nobody mentions in the standup and unclog it

What You'll Bring

• Comfort presenting to a CA-wide audience without a script
• Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Product Owner position
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings

Trusted by businesses nationwide, Microsoft operates an empowering business platform from its Oakland base. Trust, transparency, and steady momentum are the three things we protect above all else.
