Microsoft Corporation has an immediate opening for a Law Enforcement Response Specialist to join its Law Enforcement and National Security (LENS) team. The successful candidate will be highly-organized, motivated, and comfortable with working both independently and as part of a global team.

LENS is an integral part of the Privacy and Regulatory Affairs (PRA) organization within Corporate, External and Legal Affairs (CELA). The PRA organization is comprised of multiple teams responsible for Microsoft’s public policy and compliance practices relating to privacy, government regulatory issues, online safety, and lawful access. As part of PRA, the LENS team is responsible for balancing public safety and global trust in Microsoft through principled advocacy, and compliance with government demands that respect the rule of law and protect our customers’ privacy. LENS provides this support for Microsoft’s online services such as Hotmail & Outlook.com, OneDrive, Xbox Live, Skype, etc.

Within the global LENS team, response specialists review and respond to criminal legal demands in compliance with Microsoft’s lawful access policies, customer commitments, and applicable laws. Specialists are responsible for ensuring that these requests are processed both expeditiously and accurately. This requires a keen eye for detail, superior judgement, and effective multi-tasking abilities.

In addition to responding to legal demands, Specialists also assist other teams at Microsoft in support of the company’s commitments to customer security and digital safety. These teams are engaged in the detection and prevention of child exploitation, cybercrime, business email compromise, and other enforcement efforts to protect our customers’ security and privacy. The role also involves regular engagement with law enforcement agencies, providing training on Microsoft’s policies and process.

Understanding Roles at Microsoft

The way we define roles includes two things: discipline (the type of work) and career stage (scope and complexity). The career stage has two parts – the first identifies whether the role is a manager (M), an individual contributor (IC), an admin-technician-retail (ATR) job, or an intern. The second part identifies the relative seniority of the role – a higher number (or later letter alphabetically in the case of ATR) indicates greater scope and complexity.
