Microsoft

We’re on a mission to radically transform the way employees learn and grow — moving from static, top-down destination platforms (learning management systems/learner experience portal {LMS/LXP}) to agentic-first, inflow skilling experiences, powered by AI-native technologies and grounded in the science of human motivation and learning. As our Senior User Experience Product Lead - Learning & Skilling, you will be at the forefront of this transformation, fusing deep user experience design with learning science, behavioral insights, and product strategy.

In this new and critical role, you’ll shape how learners interact with intelligent agents — not through passive content catalog consumption, but through personalized, contextual, and value-rich experiences that spark curiosity, foster skill development, and integrate seamlessly into the flow of work.

You’ll lead the Learning & Skilling UX (user experience), aligned to the corporate Learning & Skilling Strategy, leveraging design frameworks and cross-company partnerships to create our next-generation skilling ecosystem that enables our vision to unify work and skilling together into a seamless, ubiquitous experience.

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.
