Microsoft is seeking a Production Manager to support SAP PP, forecasting, and the strategic initiatives that define our next phase. This trust-based manager role offers $77,000 - $123,000, the freedom to own your roadmap, and a team that helps you grow.
Key Responsibilities
- Shape the 6-year strategy without turning it into a slide museum
- Write the brief that turns a vague growth-minded ambition into a scoped project
- Make the renewal case before the internship client starts shopping around
- Cut three steps out of an approval chain nobody loves
- Sequence the rollout so OH regions don't all break at once
- Own the math behind every Production Manager promise made to a customer
- Optimize the supply chain to balance cost, speed, and reliability
- Time the Akron launch against what Microsoft can realistically staff
What You'll Bring
- Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
- Willingness to relocate to Akron, OH, or to make remote work
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a manager capacity
- The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
- Practical APQP skills sharpened in an internship setting
The story of Microsoft is really the story of Akron, OH betting on an autonomy-rich idea about business and being proven right. The hands-on pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.
We deliver $77,000 - $123,000, comprehensive benefits, and a development culture where curiosity and impact-driven ambition are rewarded.
