Job description

Full time

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Vice President, Horizontal AI Product, to lead product strategy and execution for horizontal AI capabilities across CrowdStrike’s products and for new AI-native products, platforms, and services emerging from the Cybersecurity Superintelligence Lab. You’ll turn advances in models and autonomous systems into capabilities that change how organizations defend themselves. Our goal is to move security operations toward full autonomy, helping defenders stop threats faster and reduce manual work while giving customers control over how autonomous systems act.

You’ll own the product vision, roadmap, and outcomes for this portfolio. You’ll partner with business-unit product leaders and the overall product organization of the company to bring those capabilities into their products, agreeing on priorities and responsibilities for delivery and integration.

You’ve built and scaled AI products, and you understand the infrastructure behind them. You bring sound judgment to deploying AI where security and reliability matter most. You move easily between research tradeoffs, customer problems, and business decisions.

What You’ll Do:

• Set product strategy and investment priorities for the portfolio. Define success through customer adoption, revenue contribution, and improvements to security operations. For shared capabilities, measure adoption by product teams and their effect on delivery speed and cost. Balance near-term delivery with longer-term investments, and decide which initiatives to scale, change, or stop.

• Turn AI research into products. Partner with researchers, engineers, and customers to test emerging capabilities, validate their value, and guide them from early experiments through launch and continued development. Work with the product organization to determine whether each capability belongs in an existing product, a shared service, or a new offering, and agree responsibilities for delivery and ongoing ownership.

• Drive product direction for shared AI platform capabilities within this portfolio. Define the shared services and tools teams need to build and scale AI products. Work with architecture, engineering, and product leaders on build-or-partner decisions and drive adoption across product teams.

• Set launch and scaling criteria for the portfolio with the relevant product and engineering leaders. Establish clear requirements for quality, reliability, security, cost, and human oversight.

• Work directly with security practitioners, enterprise customers, and design partners. Identify high-value workflows and validate new capabilities in real operating environments. Partner with the relevant product leaders, Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success on pricing, packaging, launch, and customer growth.

• Build and lead the AI product team for this portfolio. Recruit and develop AI-native product leaders, and establish clear ownership and operating mechanisms.

What You’ll Need:

• BS, MS, or PhD in computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 15+ years of experience in product management or technical leadership within enterprise software, including responsibility across multiple products or business units.

• A proven record of building and scaling AI products and platforms from early development through production, customer adoption, and measurable business impact.

• Strong technical fluency in AI systems and their supporting infrastructure. Experience using evaluations and customer evidence to make product decisions about reliability, launch readiness, cost, and appropriate levels of autonomy.

• Experience in cybersecurity, secure infrastructure, or another mission-critical enterprise environment.

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional product launches and align senior leaders around shared priorities across teams with distinct product roadmaps.

• Experience building and developing high-performing product teams and leaders.

Bonus Points:

• Experience partnering with AI research leaders to shape research priorities and turn original research into products with sustained customer adoption and commercial success.

• Experience creating a new product category or developing a successful commercial model for AI capabilities.

• Experience bringing autonomous capabilities into production security workflows.

• Experience growing adoption of a shared AI platform through developer ecosystems, open-source initiatives, or industry partnerships.

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware.

There’s much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
