Senior Director, Communications, Copilot
MicrosoftAbout the role
At Microsoft AI, we are building the future of human-AI interaction through Copilot—an AI companion designed to empower people and organizations to achieve more. Copilot is rapidly becoming a defining platform for how individuals create, work, and innovate, and Microsoft is uniquely positioned at the center of this transformation.
We are hiring a Senior Director, Executive Communications to support a senior executive (EVP) within the Copilot organization. This role sits at the intersection of executive storytelling, product positioning, and market influence—helping shape how both the leader and Copilot are perceived across key audiences.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and understands how to build visibility, credibility, and narrative from the ground up. You will operate with high ownership and proximity to leadership, helping elevate an executive voice externally while positioning Copilot at the forefront of conversations with builders, creators, and innovators. From shaping executive presence on social platforms to influencing how Copilot shows up in the broader AI ecosystem, your work will directly impact talent attraction, partnerships, and long-term market positioning.
The ideal candidate is a strategic and highly adaptable communications leader who blends executive counsel with hands-on execution. You bring strong instincts for narrative development, understand how to engage modern technical audiences, and know how to build relevance in fast-evolving markets. You are comfortable operating with ambiguity and understand how to position both a product and a leader in moments that matter.
