Job description
from Microsoft careersThe Growth & Competitive Strategy Director owns Windows Consumer long-term growth, channel, and competitive strategy worldwide. The role translates market, consumer, and competitor signals into clear, fact-based sales priorities and investment choices — defining where Windows wins next across Retail, OEM (original equipment manufacturer), and online, and leading the trade-off decisions on portfolio focus and competitive positioning that the ecosystem will execute against.
As a strategic individual contributor on the Planning Team (18–6 month window), this role owns and orchestrates the annual growth strategy plan across Sales, Marketing, Business Planning, and Finance — converting share and volume models, moves from competitors, and emerging platforms, and partner signals into committed plans, investment frameworks, and partner-facing narratives that defend and grow share.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
