Job description

Censys’ mission is to be the one place to understand everything on the internet. Frustrated by the lack of trustworthy Internet intelligence, we set out to create the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date map of the Internet. Today, Censys delivers real-time Internet intelligence and actionable threat insights to global governments, over 50% of the Fortune 500, and leading threat intelligence providers worldwide.

Location: This position is remote within the United States or Canada.

As Director of Product Management, you will guide product development through all stages of the product life cycle: identifying customer needs and developing, launching, and sustaining products, shaping the next generation of our modules. You will represent Censys to customers, vendors, and partners, synthesizing information and communicating what you learn to internal stakeholders. You will build, maintain, and develop a world class team of product managers who care deeply about our mission to be THE authority for Internet Intelligence and Insights.

As Director of Product Management for Solutions, you will lead Censys’ evolution from a best-in-class Attack Surface Management (ASM) product to a unified exposure management solution, spanning 1st party and 3rd party risk visibility. You’ll shape the strategic direction and execution of products that define how organizations understand, monitor, and secure their presence on the Internet— working cross-functionally to deliver value to our customers and advance Censys’ leadership in Internet Intelligence.

This is a critical leadership role for a deeply technical, business-savvy product leader who can translate complex Internet-scale challenges into clear, executable product strategies. You’ll lead a high-performing team of product managers, partner with engineering, design and research, and collaborate across go-to-market functions to bring innovative solutions to market.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and develop a world-class team of Product Managers focused on Censys’ attack surface management and supply chain intelligence
• Define and drive the unified product vision across ASM and supply chain risk management, strategy, and roadmap, connecting core capabilities like asset discovery, ownership, risks, and analytics into cohesive customer workflows.
• Partner closely with engineering leadership to prioritize and deliver features that scale, perform, and differentiate Censys’ platform in the cybersecurity market.
• Partner with Design and AI teams to make exposure management insights more intuitive, conversational, and actionable within customer workflows.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Research to ensure customer feedback, market insights, and competitive signals are continuously integrated into product planning.
• Establish and scale best-in-class product management processes, ensuring clarity of priorities, crisp execution, and data-driven decision-making.
• Identify and validate new opportunities for Censys’ platform — including integration with third-party ecosystems, developer enablement, and next-generation intelligence capabilities.
• Represent Censys externally with customers, partners, and at industry events, evangelizing our vision and shaping market perception of Internet Intelligence.
• Measure success rigorously, using both quantitative (usage, adoption, ARR contribution) and qualitative (customer feedback, internal alignment) signals to iterate effectively.

About You

• 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years in a leadership role managing other PMs.
• Proven success building and scaling enterprise SaaS or data platforms, ideally in cybersecurity or risk intelligence domains.
• Deep understanding of Attack Surface Management (ASM), Internet data, or adjacent areas such as threat intelligence, network discovery, or cloud security posture management.
• Strong technical acumen — you can comfortably discuss APIs, data pipelines, and architectural tradeoffs with engineers, and speak credibly with CISOs and technical buyers.
• Demonstrated ability to influence executive strategy through data-driven insights and market storytelling.
• Track record of driving cross-functional alignment and delivering measurable business outcomes in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Excellent communicator — able to craft compelling product narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Skilled at balancing strategy and execution — zooming out to define a market vision, and zooming in to ship value every quarter.
• Demonstrated ability to hire, mentor, and retain top product talent.
• Prior work in startups or high-growth SaaS environments where speed and adaptability were key.
• Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.

Bonus Points

• Hands-on familiarity with Internet-scale systems and network protocols (e.g., TLS, DNS, BGP, etc. ).
• Experience integrating AI/ML into cybersecurity or analytics workflow.
• Experience leading product-led growth (PLG) or usage-based monetization strategies.

For candidates located in a high cost of living location, the base salary range is $238,000 USD and $257,000 USD.

This position is located remote with no expectations to come into an office regularly.
