Overview

The Microsoft Edge browser team is hiring a Product Manager II to own and grow the student browsing experience, from high school classrooms to college campuses. As the inbox browser for over 1.5 billion Windows devices, Edge is Microsoft's most-used consumer product, and this role sits at a uniquely high-leverage intersection: helping students learn smarter, read deeper, stay organized, and harness the power of AI, all from within their browser.

Students today are doing more of their academic lives online than ever before. They're reading research papers, annotating textbooks, writing essays, juggling dozens of open tabs across multiple assignments, and increasingly turning to AI to help them think and create. Yet most browser experiences were never designed with them in mind. This role is your opportunity to change that.

Many of Edge's current features already resonate deeply with students — Immersive Reader for distraction-free reading and text-to-speech, PDF annotations for highlighting and marking up academic documents, and Copilot's multi-tab context for synthesizing content across open tabs. You'll evolve these into a cohesive, AI-powered student experience that makes Edge the browser students reach for — not just the one they're assigned.

What Makes This Role Compelling

Serve a high-stakes audience: Students don't have time for friction. A better reading tool, a smarter annotation flow, or an AI assistant that actually understands their research context can directly improve academic outcomes, at massive scale.
AI is the frontier, not the future: With Copilot Mode's multi-tab context and summarization capabilities already in Edge, you'll be building on a live AI platform, designing student-specific experiences that go far beyond what any standalone AI tool can offer.
Beloved features with untapped depth: Immersive Reader, PDF annotations, and Read Aloud are already used by millions of students. You'll unlock the next generation of what they can do.
Cross-platform, real-world impact: Students move between Windows laptops, Tablets, and phones. Your features need to work consistently, and delight across all of them.
