In this role, you will develop multi-quarter roadmaps, own discovery and requirements with deep technical depth, and interact with enterprise customers to translate problems into scalable product solutions.

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree with 8 years of Product Management experience, Master’s degree with 6 years of Product Management experience, or PhD with 3 years of Product Management experience.
• Product management experience building and managing enterprise SaaS products, with ownership spanning product discovery, requirements, roadmap, delivery, launch, and customer adoption.
• Experience with cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, observability, or adjacent enterprise technology domains.
• Experience working directly with Engineering and Design teams to deliver technically complex SaaS capabilities and customer experiences.
• Experience engaging directly with enterprise customers to understand problems, validate requirements, and inform product decisions.

Responsabilidades

• Own a meaningful product domain within Cisco AI Defense end-to-end, from understanding customer and market problems through strategy, roadmap, execution, launch, adoption, and continuous improvement.
• Shape a 12-18 month domain strategy grounded in customer problems, market dynamics, technology shifts, competitive landscape, and measurable business outcomes—not simply a collection of features or incoming requests.
• Translate strategy into a clear multi-quarter roadmap with defined outcomes, milestones, success measures, and explicit prioritization choices.
• Develop deep expertise in your domain, including the underlying customer workflows, technical architecture, ecosystem, security landscape, and emerging technologies that shape it.
• Spend meaningful time with enterprise customers, security teams, AI builders, partners, and field teams to understand problems firsthand.
• Own product discovery and requirements with sufficient technical depth to work directly with Engineering and Design on architecture, APIs, integrations, data models, workflows, and customer experiences.
• Drive technical and prioritization trade-offs across strategic investments, customer needs, product quality, technical debt, and feature velocity.
• Define measurable product outcomes and use adoption, usage, quality, customer, and business signals to determine whether the product is solving the intended problem.
• Operate with end-to-end accountability. Stay engaged beyond requirements and delivery through product readiness, documentation, enablement, launch, customer adoption, feedback, and iteration.
• Provide product and domain leadership in ambiguous and rapidly changing areas.
• Build strong partnerships across Engineering, Design, Security Research, Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, and other Cisco product teams.
• Look beyond your roadmap to identify shared platform capabilities, reusable primitives, integrations, and experiences that strengthen the broader AI Defense platform.
• Contribute to the effectiveness of the broader Product team by sharing customer insights and improving operations.
• Serve as a trusted product and domain expert with customers, partners, internal teams, and leadership.
