Job Description:
Summary:
The Azure, Windows, and Industry Monetization (AWIM) team in Business Planning focuses on enabling the client mission by creating durable profit growth through high-impact monetization strategies, packaging, and pricing. Our charter is significant and spans key growth engines for the company including all azure solution areas, Windows client and cloud offerings, and our Education and industry offerings and programs. We are responsible for delivering high-impact monetization strategies, packaging, and pricing to create durable profit growth for client. Our team is responsible for the end-to-end monetization process from business strategy development through transactability and execution.
One of the key elements of the role of an AWIM Business Planner is to support various launches across the team. The launch process is an engine of people, systems, and steps that ultimately take a product or service strategy and get it to market. A launch event is anything requiring a commerce change, including (but not limited to) new product or service releases, price changes, name changes, a change to a service, and a deprecation of a service. In this role, the AWIM BP PM will work closely with both the Business Planner and Operations teams to support launches.
Another key element of the role is cross-functional stakeholder engagement in an oftentimes matrixed environment. To successfully collaborate, stakeholders must be aligned, strategies must get proper approvals, and information must be clearly articulated across teams. The AWIM BP PM will work closely with Business Planners and their cross-functional stakeholder counterparts (Engineering, Product Marketing, and Finance) to support this engagement through project management.
Job Responsibilities:
The support provided by the AWIM BP PM will span across five (5) buckets of work which fall under launch support and project management:
1) Dedicated launch assistance
Engage in and support launch prioritization, escalations, data auditing and validation, and pricing verification leveraging deep fundamental product knowledge gained by being embedded within the individual AWIM teams.
2) Launch operational process and stakeholder support
The Operations team is responsible for ensuring a compliant launch process and they have a vendor team dedicated to supporting the Business Planner throughout the launch process for specific launch scenarios and tasks. Not all launches will receive Operations vendor support and Operations vendor support does not cover all launch tasks.
