At Microsoft our mission is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. The M365 Core product design team is creating AI-powered experiences that help people achieve more with less effort.

We are designing Search, Assistant and Intelligence-driven experiences via an ongoing conversation with our customers, building a relationship where we work to understand them and earn their trust through transparency and respect. We are looking for a passionate, fearless and focused Senior Designer who can help to shape how we use AI and voice input to create experiences that our customers love.

Artificial intelligence is changing everything about the ways we design and build products and experiences. Our team embraces the uncertainty and variability of non-deterministic systems, approaching the design intelligence-driven experiences with curiosity and humility. Rather than seeking a singular perfect design solution, we strive to create experiences that adapt gracefully and rapidly to the ever-changing unarticulated needs of our customers.

• Work with design and engineering teams across Microsoft to create experiences that deliver on our customer promises.
• Deeply understand and fiercely advocate for the experience throughout all stages of the customer journey.
