  • Own guidelines, eligibility, and program policy end to end, from design through implementation, ensuring programs operate with integrity and in alignment with Microsoft and CELA standards.


  • Lead the systems and infrastructure that enable volunteering at Microsoft, including the platform and data behind it, and evolve them to changing needs.


  • Build and oversee the spectrum of engagement, from civic participation and skills-based service to nonprofit board service, so employees strengthen the organizations and communities they serve while growing their own skills and leadership.


  • Develop new pathways that reach more employees and more moments in their careers, including AI-enabled volunteering and new forms of engagement, piloting in Washington State before extending nationally and globally.


  • Build, launch, and assess at least two new programs in the first 18 months, from concept and pilot through evaluation and a clear recommendation to scale, evolve, or retire.


Cross-Functional Activation & Storytelling

  • Serve as the integrated go-to-market lead for the Global Employee Engagement team: plan launches and activations for Microsoft Give's flagship moments in partnership with the team and with Marketing, HR, Communications, Government Affairs, and Philanthropy so campaigns and key moments land as one coordinated effort.


  • Coordinate Microsoft Give & volunteerism storytelling that authentically reflects employee and community impact, and represent the programs with internal leaders, partners, and at external events as needed.
