The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Microsoft is hiring a CTO in Charleston, WV.

• Role description

  Think of this CTO job at Microsoft as Growth Mindset without the red tape, plus a Charleston, WV team that actually ships. With $220,000 - $403,000 on the table, this c-level role rewards 15 years of Strategic Planning with autonomy and team-driven growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Carry the Teamwork thread across three time zones and two tools
  • Deliver make-it-better results that align with broader business objectives
  • Sense when a Charleston relationship needs a call, not an email
  • Keep Microsoft's Time Management pipeline humming without constant hand-holding
  • Trim Teamwork processes that have quietly outlived their purpose
  • Keep the Microsoft backlog ruthlessly honest about what's truly next
  • Adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a fast-paced general environment
  • Keep c-level expectations grounded in what the hybrid role can deliver

  What You'll Bring

  • A point of view, held loosely and defended well
  • A point of view on Microsoft's space, sharpened by your own reading
  • Solid Resilience grounding, plus Time Management you can pick up on the fly
  • Comfort steering general conversations toward a decision
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  Microsoft is a generously-mentoring company in Charleston, WV that turns complex general problems into simple, elegant solutions. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

  The offer rewards both ends, $220,000 - $403,000 for your Growth Mindset today and mentorship for the c-level leader you become tomorrow.
