## VP Product Management, Threat ProtectionApply: United States of America - Massachusetts - Remote: United States of America - Florida - Remote: Full time: Posted Today: R6784## VP, Product Management, Threat Pretection ## About MimecastThe work people build is worth protecting, and it's harder to protect than it used to be. AI agents now move at machine speed with human-level access, and a small slip-up can become a very public one. We disrupt cybercriminal activity before that happens. We think fast, go big, and always demand more of ourselves. We work hard, deliver, and repeat. We grow with real determination and put success well within reach. We push each other to be better and expect to be pushed back, in a community built on respect, where everyone is counted. Work Protected. ## OverviewAs Vice President, Product Management, you'll report to the SVP, Product Management and lead a major product division at Mimecast. You will sit on the product executive leadership team, shape company-level product strategy and make decisions on major product and AI investments. Your remit spans commercial outcomes, the division's competitive position and the leadership bench needed to sustain both. **What You'll Do*** Own company-level product strategy for the division - pricing and packaging implications, competitive positioning, and platform fit - not just a roadmap.* Present investment plans directly to the CEO and board, including ROI projections and risk mitigation, and secure approval for major commitments.* Take full P&L-adjacent accountability for the division's outcomes, with the product portfolio delivering a significant share of Mimecast's net-new ARR.* Act as architect of the operating model, culture, and talent strategy for the entire product organization, not just one portfolio.* Own succession planning and the development pipeline for VP- and director-level product talent across the function.* Build a leadership team with genuine AI fluency - the ability to reason about AI strategy at a level that informs real investment decisions.* Navigate the full complexity of running a large product organization at once: talent, strategy, culture, commercial outcomes, and executive alignment.* Apply AI-powered analytics to rebalance investment and prioritization across multiple teams, not just within a single team's plan.* Define the AI capability vision for the entire product organization: investment priorities, governance frameworks, and the standard every product leader is held to. **What You'll Bring*** 10+ years of progressive product management experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise software, including several years operating at VP or GM scope with P&L or P&L-adjacent accountability.* Track record of presenting to and securing investment from a board or equivalent executive body, not just recommending upward to a single sponsor.* Experience building and running a product organization's operating model end to end - how the function plans, hires, develops talent, and measures itself.* Demonstrated ownership of a commercial outcome tied directly to revenue, such as net-new ARR, expansion, or a major go-to-market transition, not only product quality metrics.* Strong executive presence and the ability to represent product strategy credibly to the CEO, board, and external stakeholders.* Deep fluency in applying AI to product strategy and organizational decision-making, with a clear point of view on responsible, high-standard AI use across a team.* Cybersecurity or adjacent high-trust enterprise software experience is a strong plus, given the nature of Mimecast's platform. The base salary range for this position is 216,000 - 324,000 USD plus benefits. This range represents the minimum and maximum new hire compensation for this role. The position may also be eligible for incentive plans and additional benefits, in accordance with company policy and local regulations. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location with individual compensation also dependent on factors such as qualifications, experience, and skills. Final offers will reflect these considerations and may vary accordingly.**Belonging at Mimecast**Cybersecurity is a community effort.
