Principal Product Manager, Bing Places - Microsoft AI Search

Microsoft AI is pushing the boundaries of technology and reimagining how people engage with information, moving beyond traditional search toward intelligent systems that help users make decisions. This is a rare opportunity to help define how Search evolves in the AI era. 

In Bing Places, we sit at the center of this transformation. We power how users discover, evaluate, and act on information about the physical world—from finding a restaurant to making high-confidence decisions that impact their daily lives. Our work spans classic search and emerging AI-native experiences, with a clear ambition: to build systems that don’t just retrieve information but enable decisions and complete journeys. 

We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to join the Bing Places team to help define the future of how people search the Web and navigate their lives. Leading a team of product managers and working closely with other MAI teams, you will have the opportunity to define how we use AI to improve our Search journeys, with an opportunity to make a significant impact on our users' lives. 

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.
