Microsoft ACE Rotation Program

Are you a university junior or senior pursuing a career in marketing? The Microsoft Accelerated Connections and Experiences (ACE) Rotation Program is a two-year program designed to broaden perspectives, build strong communities, and strengthen participants’ marketing skill sets. 

Jumpstart your marketing career


With an optional internship between your junior and senior year of college, followed by two one-year rotations in our Marketing and Consumer Business organization, the ACE program will give you the chance to work in different marketing roles, without changing jobs. You will have an opportunity to learn and develop a broader range of marketing skills. Our ACE program participants walk away with more confidence in their skills – and a clearer picture of the career path they would like to follow. 

Live our culture


At Microsoft, our employees drive our culture. We embrace a growth mindset, asking employees to become learn-it-alls instead of know-it-alls. We believe in giving employees the freedom to move out of their comfort zone, try new things and use what they’ve learned to get better. We’re focused on bringing out the best in people, supporting their goals, and empowering them to find deep meaning and purpose in their work. And we encourage employees to get involved in their communities by giving back, with their time and money to philanthropic and non-profit organizations, by matching employee donations.

Thrive in our community


Being part of the ACE Rotation Program means being a part of the ACE community. A community made up of other early-in-career marketing employees going through similar experiences, who grow and learn together. It’s a community that Microsoft invests in, through learning and networking opportunities tailored for those just starting their careers. And one that grows into a valuable peer network over time.
