Senior Product Marketing Manager, Competitive Intelligence - Identity and Network Security

Microsoft is hiring a Senior Product Marketing Manager to lead competitive intelligence across identity, identity governance, threat detection, and network access security. The role translates market and customer evidence into product recommendations, positioning, and field guidance, including for securing AI.

Responsibilities

Identity and network access vendors are expanding into securing AI, from governing AI agents to controlling how people use AI apps. You’ll track how platform and specialist competitors are evolving across IAM, governance, and SSE, and what that means for Microsoft

You’ll work with Entra product marketing and engineering to turn that insight into decisions on how Microsoft secures AI agents and AI access: where to invest, what to improve, and how to position. You'll ground recommendations in customer conversations, win/loss analysis, field feedback, and market signals

You’ll build the vendor analyses, technical briefs, and battlecards sellers use against identity, governance, and SSE competitors, including in evaluations focused on securing AI. You’ll support priority deals where competitive insight can change the outcome, using AI to keep pace with the market while staying accountable for accuracy
