**Overview**
Microsoft Security is one of the world's largest security organizations — spanning endpoint, identity, cloud, and data security — and one of Microsoft's fastest-growing businesses. Microsoft Security has made a clear commitment: transforming Security Engineering into an AI-first organization that can operate at the pace the threat landscape demands.
As part of the Executive Office of the EVP of Microsoft Security, the **AI Transformation Leader** sits at the center of that transformation. This role is responsible for activating Security Engineering's new AI-first way of working as the standard operating model — and building the programs, rituals, and change infrastructure that make those ways of working durable.

- Identify and systematically remove barriers to adoption — organizational, tooling, and behavioral.
- Build feedback loops that connect adoption reality on the ground back to operating model design and product teams.
**- Build and Run AI Enablement Programs**
- Design and run the Security Frontier Enablement Lab — a structured environment where engineering teams experiment with AI tools, agents, and workflows in low-risk, high-signal settings.
- Produce and scale the AI & Agents Hackathon series to surface new use cases, accelerate adoption,



and build community around AI-first practice.
- Run Demo Day as a recurring, visible forum that makes AI-first work celebrated and shared across Security Engineering.
**- Drive Behavior Change at Scale**
- Translate the new AI-first operating model into clear behavioral expectations that managers can reinforce and engineers can act on immediately.
- Build change mechanisms that install new habits and sustain them over time.
- Ensure the internal engineering experience mirrors the AI-first future that Microsoft Security delivers to customers.
**- Measure Adoption and Feed Insight Back**
- In partnership with Engineering leaders, define and track leading and lagging indicators of AI tool and operating model adoption across Security Engineering.
- Surface adoption patterns, blockers, and bright spots to senior leaders with decision-ready clarity.
- Use data to continuously improve programs and sharpen where effort lands next.
