Microsoft Calendar – Time and Places is a core team within Microsoft 365, focused on redefining how people manage time, coordinate schedules, and connect across organizations. By deeply integrating AI through Microsoft Copilot, the team is transforming the calendar experience into a proactive, intelligent assistant that helps users plan smarter, reduce friction, and stay focused. Calendar Copilot features offer intelligent suggestions, meeting prep, follow-ups, and time protection—making scheduling not just easier, but more meaningful. As Microsoft continues to evolve the future of work, the Time and Places team plays a pivotal role in embedding AI into everyday routines, ensuring that time is spent with intention and impact. In essence, this team is not just building a calendar—they’re shaping the rhythm of modern work.

We are seeking a Principal UX Researcher to help us set the path for our next generation of AI-powered experiences for time management in the Calendar apps and in Copilot chat. For this role, we’re looking for someone who can move between exploratory, generative research to rapid evaluations of prototyped ideas. Someone who works across organizational roles to uncover the unspoken questions and beliefs and answers them with precision, detail, and durability. Someone who always puts people first and centers their needs, problems, goals, and aspirations for the team. Someone who is energized by direct, tangible product impact. A strong mixed methods researcher comfortable in interviews and with deep data analysis. If this sounds like you, please apply!
