Full Job Description
Overview

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.

This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction.

Responsibilities
  • Define the future of AI-powered Search journeys.
  • Lead product strategy and teams to define experiences that help users move from intent to action.
  • Own high-impact product opportunities.
  • Identify gaps in how users discover and evaluate information and define solutions that meaningfully improve decision quality and confidence.
  • Drive cross-org alignment in a highly matrixed environment.
  • Partner across engineering, UX, data, and Search teams to deliver cohesive, end-to-end experiences.
  • Translate AI capabilities into real user value.
  • Apply advances in LLMs, grounding, and retrieval to create differentiated, trustworthy user experiences.
  • Operate with a solid user and data orientation.
  • Leverage user research, experimentation, and metrics to iterate quickly and drive measurable impact.
  • Lead from ambiguity to clarity.
  • Frame product vision, define roadmaps, and drive execution in a fast-evolving space where problem definition is often the hardest challenge.
