• Lead product backlog grooming to refine cybersecurity and customer objectives, translate vision into detailed initiatives and epics featuring robust design details and clear acceptance criteria, and ensure requirements are well understood by the engineering teams
• Maintain technical and risk credibility with your own team and with partners across the enterprise
• Maintain close ties to various stakeholders, developers, and engineers across the company, ensuring the services we create meet their needs as products evolve
• Iterate quickly and see the products through to production and scale
• Establish product value propositions, metrics, and key indicators
• Recruit, motivate, mentor, and lead those around you to be their best

Preferred Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience with cloud based or on-prem network security services and products (WAF, Bot Management, DDoS Mitigation)
• 5+ years of experience with cybersecurity frameworks and concepts such as NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, CMMC, FedRAMP, etc.
• 5+ years of experience performing analysis of or developing solutions for cyber threats, vulnerabilities, risks, or, events
• 5+ years of experience working on teams and presenting to stakeholders cybersecurity information such as metrics, threat intelligence, controls and/or requirements
• 4+ years of experience working in multi-cloud environments
• 4+ years of experience using security tools (e.g., Splunk, Crowdstrike, Qualys, or AWS Security Hub)
