Director of Product Management, Security

We're looking for a Director of Product Management to own our security product strategy end to end - the vision, the roadmap, build vs buy decisions. You will set the multi-year investment strategy for our security offerings, go deep with engineering on database security, networking, and identity management. You will be the subject matter expert for other PMs navigating security-adjacent decisions..

Responsibilities

• Own the product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for our security offerings, and make the case for it - internally with engineering and leadership, and externally with customers and the market.
• Go deep on database security, networking, and identity and access management (IAM) - enough to argue the details with engineering, not just approve what they propose.
• Partner closely with engineering, design, sales, and marketing to ship products that are actually secure, not just marketed that way.
• Translate complex security requirements into specifications and user stories that engineering can understand.
• Own backlog prioritization and the trade-offs that come with it, weighing business value, customer risk, and engineering cost.
• Drive go-to-market for security launches - positioning, sales enablement, documentation.
• Monitor how security features perform in the real world and use that data, not just instinct, to decide what to build next.
• Be the security subject-matter expert other teams come to, and provide guidance and coaching to PMs working on security-adjacent problems elsewhere in the org.
• Represent our security posture and roadmap externally - with top customers, prospects, and analysts when the conversation needs someone who actually understands the tradeoffs.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, with a significant and sustained focus on security products or features, including experience setting security strategy at an organizational level.
• Real, hands-on experience with database security principles and best practices.
• Strong understanding of networking concepts and their security implications.
• In-depth knowledge of identity and access management (IAM).
• Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+) preferred.
• Solid program management skills: planning, execution, and risk management across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• A track record of representing product externally - with customers, analysts, or at industry events, and translating deep technical security topics for non-technical audiences.
• Experience guiding or informally mentoring other PMs, even without a formal reporting relationship.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, and the judgment to know when to escalate versus when to just make the call.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where priorities shift and you're expected to bring order to it, not just follow along.
