• Translate complex federal security requirements into actionable product specifications for Identity and Access Management (IAM), encryption, and audit logging, personnel access.
• Serve as the primary product nominee for FIPS compliance modules and government‑specific licensing models.
• Lead the product strategy for the European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) and KSA regions, navigating prerequisites including legal, partnership (e.g., CNTXT), and infosec requirements.
• Define data residency and personnel control requirements (e.g., in‑country staff, cleared personnel) to support organizational data sovereignty.
• Collaborate with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud on specialized deployment packages like Assured Workloads for restricted jurisdictions.

Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years deeply focused on cloud security, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS compliance.
• Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of FedRAMP (Moderate/High) requirements and the process of achieving certification for a multi‑tenant cloud service.
• Technical Depth: Strong grasp of cloud architectures (AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure), including VPC peering, private endpoints, encryption (BYOK/KMS), and multi‑tenant security.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with global data sovereignty trends and regulations such as GDPR, and their impact on cloud region strategy.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to explain complex compliance and technical concepts to both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
• Leadership: Proven track record of working cross‑functionally across legal, security, operations, and sales to launch products in regulated markets.

Bonus Qualifications

• Prior experience securing a data platform, database product, or real‑time analytics service.
