Microsoft’s Modern Life Experience (MLX) team could be expanding soon based on a recent job posting that’s focused on “family services.”

At a high level, the Senior Designer employment position listed onMicrosoft’s Career job boardis seeking an individual who “will concept and craft unique and compelling motion design for Family experiences including Family Safety Mobile, Web, Windows, and Xbox interactions.”

More specifically, Microsoft is looking for someone who can help connect with broader design communities within the company to extend motion experiences across multiple company offerings.

ZDNet reporter Mary Jo Foley, recently elaborated onMicrosoft’s “family services” agendaas evident by this new job listing, to explain the company’s continued goal to attract non-enterprise consumers.

Microsoft has repeatedly chased the consumer dragon to varying degrees of success and failure. However, it seems the company has figured out an end-around to its legendary consumer misfires by simply expanding its successful enterprise tools to incorporate and blend families’ needs.

Microsoft 365 is the growing amalgamation of the company’s efforts to foster a prosumer audience of individuals who use Microsoft software and services at work but could also make use of their work tools for their family endeavors.

Some recent instances of Microsoft’s prosumer push have come in the way of a new feature in Excel called Money in Excel, Teams for Personal Life,“Kids Mode” for Edge, andViva Learning.

According to Foley, Microsoft’s Modern Life Planning team, a consortium of investment bankers, consultants, and finance professionals, are ironing out details and partnerships to help expand its M365 “family services” to more prosumers in the future.
