TL;DR · Principal Technical Program Manager, Sovereign & Regulated Cloud

As a Principal Technical Program Manager at Microsoft Security, you will lead the development of a unified sovereignty strategy that ensures data residency and isolation models are consistent across all services. You will work closely with engineering teams to drive large-scale programs supporting EU Sovereign Cloud and government cloud scenarios, such as FedRAMP High, while developing scalable architectures for regulated environments. Your responsibilities include identifying cross-service dependencies, resolving system-level challenges, and partnering with Azure and compliance leaders to shape Microsoft’s broader sovereignty strategy. You must have extensive experience in leading technical programs in cloud or distributed systems, designing cloud platforms, and working in regulated environments like GDPR or FedRAMP. Proficiency in translating regulatory requirements into engineering solutions is crucial, as is the ability to influence stakeholders across organizations without direct authority.

What you'll do

  • Lead development of a unified sovereignty strategy for Microsoft Security services.
  • Drive alignment among engineering teams to ensure consistent approaches to regulated cloud readiness.
  • Deliver complex, cross-organizational programs supporting EU Sovereign Cloud and government scenarios.
  • Develop scalable architectures and deployment patterns for regulated environments.
  • Identify and resolve cross-service dependencies and system-level challenges in regulated markets.
  • Partner with Azure, compliance, and senior leaders to influence broader sovereignty strategy.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience leading large-scale, cross-organizational technical programs
  • Extensive background in designing and operating cloud platforms with managed data flows
  • Proven track record working in regulated environments like FedRAMP or GDPR
  • Skill in translating regulatory requirements into scalable engineering solutions
  • Experience supporting sovereign and government-regulated cloud environments
  • Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders across organizations without direct authority
