Job summary

Cribl is seeking a Director of Product Management for Security Products to own the next wave of Cribl Detect-based offerings. You’ll shape the portfolio, lead customer conversations from initial discussions to launch, and define which areas to fund and how to execute with engineering, marketing, and sales.

This is a remote-first, globally distributed leadership role. You’ll guide strategy, build business cases, and lead cross-functional teams to deliver integrated security products that connect

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 - you have 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 - make sure new capabilities work natively with Cribl Detect (shared data model, detections, alerts, and workflows), not as a set of separate tools.
• Spend real time with customers - CISOs, SOC managers, detection engineers, and analysts - and work with design partners 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.
