Microsoft hybrid • Redmondfull_time

The Azure Strategic Finance (Revenue Planning) team influences decision-making and implementation of strategy across the Azure portfolio. Our charter is to ensure leaders are focused on the highest ROI opportunities and initiatives. We integrate insights into actions across GTM, deal structure, business model, and resource allocation/prioritization. The Azure Core team has an opening for a qualified candidate with relevant experience to lead regional pricing and fleet management.

 

In this Finance Manager - Azure Strategic Finance role, you’ll collaborate with Marketing and Engineering to develop frameworks for how we price Azure services globally.  You’ll analyze demand signals and market trends to inform how we think about growth shaping across regions and price elasticity. Your work will influence regional growth, product roadmap, and how we measure business performance. Often you will bring data-driven insights to business partners and validate go/no go outcomes with rigorous financial modeling. You’ll work closely with Marketing, Engineering, Sales, COGS Finance, and Corp Strat.

In the first six months a few of the projects you’ll work on are:

  • Partner with Marketing / GTM on a regional pricing assessment and creation of global pricing frameworks
  • Assist with augmenting the capacity reservation portfolio
  • AI market landscape / ecosystem analysis

We're excited to offer a hybrid role that give you the best of both worlds.  You'll get to collaborate in person with your teammates at our Redmond office three days a week, and enjoy the flexibility of remote work the rest of the time.  If you love connecting face-to-face and also appreciate some work-from-home days, this could be a great fit for you.
