Responsibilities

• Define and own the product strategy and roadmap for Software Supply Chain Security, aligned with company goals and customer needs.
• Lead the end‑to‑end lifecycle of features—from ideation and requirements through delivery, launch, and iteration.

• Prioritize the product backlog using company strategy, customer feedback, user data, and competitive insights.
• Engage directly with customers, partners, and field teams to understand pain points, validate usability, and gather adoption feedback.
• Work closely with marketing, enablement, and documentation teams to ensure impactful releases and go‑to‑market success.
• Define and monitor key KPIs such as adoption, detection accuracy, coverage, false positives, and scanning performance.

Requirements

• Strong background in B2B SaaS/Cloud products and cybersecurity (ecosystems, attack techniques, and leading tools).
• Skilled at working with developers and UX teams to turn complex technical challenges into intuitive, high‑value solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to define and communicate technical requirements clearly to R&D teams.
• Hands‑on, proactive problem solver with strong ownership and a “can‑do” attitude.
