Job summary

Cribl is hiring a Director of Product Management for Security Products. You will own the next wave of Cribl's security portfolio, evaluating areas beyond Cribl Detect, building business cases, and guiding build, partner, or buy decisions.

Lead from discovery to launch, shaping a portfolio rather than inheriting one. You will drive strategy with CISOs and SOC experts, partner with Marketing, Sales, and technology teams, and grow a team of PMs as we fund new areas.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in product management or a closely related role, with 5+ years building security products.
• Deep understanding of security operations - SIEM, detection engineering, incident response, and how SOC teams actually work day to day.
• Hands-on product experience in at least one of: security automation and response (SOAR), identity security (ITDR, UEBA), AI or agentic security, or threat detection and response.
• A track record of taking a product from 0 to 1 - from problem discovery to a product customers pay for and use.
• Portfolio-level thinking - evaluated new markets, built business cases, and made clear recommendations with incomplete information.
• Leadership - experience leading or mentoring PMs, and leading through influence across engineering, marketing, and sales.
• Technical depth to go deep with engineers on data architectures, detection logic, and AI/LLM-based systems.
• Strong written communication - you write clear strategy docs and PRDs, and you make decisions in writing.
• Good judgment under uncertainty - you can say "we shouldn't build this" as confidently as "we should."

Responsibilities

• Drive the strategy for the next wave of security products - market analysis, customer discovery, competitive landscape, and a clear recommendation on what to do first, second, and not at all.
• Build the business case for each area - the customer problem, market size, why Cribl can win, build/partner/buy options, and what it takes to get there.
• Lead execution for what we fund - define the product, write the requirements, set success metrics, and drive delivery with engineering from 0 to 1 and beyond.
• Make it one platform - ensure new capabilities work natively with Cribl Detect (shared data model, detections, alerts, and workflows).
• Spend real time with customers - CISOs, SOC managers, detection engineers, and analysts to validate direction before we commit.
• Partner with Marketing, Sales, and technology partners on positioning, packaging, launch, and field enablement.
• Grow the team - as areas get funded, hire and lead product managers to own them.
• Represent Cribl security externally with customers, analysts, and at industry events.
