Director, Open Innovation Center

The Microsoft Open Innovation Center (MOIC), based in Strasbourg, France, supports the community of libraries, archives, museums, government agencies, and other knowledge institutions that are positioned to grow the corpus and stewardship of culturally and linguistically diverse data to enable technology to reflect the linguistic and cultural history of Europe. The MOIC is a part of the Open Innovation Team in the Intellectual Property Group at Microsoft. The Open Innovation Team builds legal and policy solutions to empower Microsoft and our customers, partners, and developers to deliver value through open innovation. 

As Director of the MOIC-Europe, you will lead and execute on the mission of the MOIC, aligning with Microsoft's European Digital Commitments and Culture AI initiatives and will work closely with Microsoft's Strasbourg AI for Good Lab. This opportunity will allow you to develop partnerships with knowledge institutions across Europe, design new partnership engagements, and support increased accessibility of open access datasets for AI innovation. 

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees, we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
