TL;DR · Lead Director, Software Product Management

Lead Director, Software Product Management leads the Security Automation portfolio within Enterprise Information Security. This leader manages a team of product managers, focusing on coaching and craft development rather than individual product ownership. The role involves defining multi-year roadmaps, conducting continuous discovery with security practitioners to translate workflow pain into prioritized features, and ensuring high adoption rates through robust enablement and documentation. Key responsibilities include managing the full product lifecycle, performing build-versus-buy analyses, and establishing outcome measures like cycle-time reduction and risk-reduction proxies. The candidate must possess technical fluency in APIs, data models, and agile delivery tools like Jira. This role addresses the challenge of automating security operations for internal users, such as GRC teams and infrastructure engineers, by applying commercial-grade product management discipline to internally built security products within a highly regulated environment.

What you'll do

  • Develop and manage the multi-year roadmap and strategy for the Security Automation portfolio.
  • Lead, hire, and coach a team of product managers while establishing high standards for product craft.
  • Conduct continuous discovery with security practitioners to identify pain points and validate automation opportunities.
  • Manage the full product lifecycle including internal go-to-market, documentation, training, and usage measurement.
  • Define and track outcome metrics such as adoption rates, cycle-time reduction, and risk-reduction proxies.
  • Partner with engineering leadership to manage requirements, backlog health, and trade-off decisions during development.
  • Perform build-versus-buy analyses including market scanning, vendor evaluations, and total cost of ownership modeling.
  • Communicate portfolio progress, investment value, and strategic tradeoffs to executive sponsors and internal stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of experience in technology roles, including at least 8 years in software product management.
  • 4+ years of experience leading, coaching, and developing other product managers.
  • Experience in a commercial software or SaaS organization is preferred.
  • Demonstrated ownership of product strategy, multi-year roadmaps, and evidence-based discovery practices.
  • Proven ability to define, instrument, and report on outcome measures such as adoption and cycle-time reduction.
  • Technical fluency sufficient to partner with engineers on architecture, integration, and feasibility discussions.
  • Experience with build-versus-buy analysis, commercial software evaluation, and financial business case construction.
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical or business field is required; Master's degree or MBA is preferred.
