Senior Program Manager, Global Employee Engagement - Infrastructure & Impact

Overview

Microsofts Washington State & Global Employee Engagement (WSGEE) team sits at the intersection of public policy, philanthropy, and employee engagement. The team is responsible for strengthening the companys long-term trust, credibility, and impact across Washington State, while also driving employee giving and volunteerism across the world. Its flagship program, Microsoft Give, generated more than $250M in giving in fiscal year 2026, including the company match, and more than 1.2M volunteer hours, supporting more than 36,000 nonprofits worldwide.

Employee engagement at Microsofts scale runs on a platform: it is where employees give and volunteer, where campaigns come to life, and where the data lives that tells the story of our impact. The Global Employee Engagement team is seeking a Senior Program Manager, Infrastructure & Impact to be the programmatic owner of that backbone. You will translate program goals into how the platform works for employees and nonprofits: configuring campaigns and giving opportunities, defining segmentation and targeting, setting up matching and volunteer programs, standing up the campaign pages and reporting behind fundraising events and signature moments, and resolving the program questions that arise along the way, working in close partnership with the operations and systems team that manages day-to-day operations. You will also lead the evolution of how Microsoft measures impact, from dollars and hours to community outcomes, and use data and AI to reach the right employees with the right opportunities at the right time.

This is an opportunity to bring a programmatic and analytical mindset to one of the most recognized employee engagement programs in the world. You will shape how a global program is built and delivered on its platform, work with senior leaders and partners across CELA, HR, and Finance, and define what the next generation of engagement infrastructure looks like as AI changes how programs are personalized, measured, and run.

The Senior Program Manager will report to the Senior Director, Global Employee Engagement, on the Washington State & Global Employee Engagement team. The position will be based at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington.
