Product Manager; Rapid Response Job Austin area,Texas USA,IT/Tech

Position: Staff Product Manager (Rapid Response)

Horizon3 is in search of a highly motivated and technically skilled Staff Product Manager to lead the strategy and evolution of Node Zero Rapid Response
This role requires a strong blend of product leadership, cybersecurity expertise, threat intelligence experience, technical depth, and customer empathy to help organizations quickly understand whether emerging vulnerabilities create real, exploitable risk in their environments
The Staff Product Manager for Rapid Response will own the product strategy, roadmap, customer experience, and operating model for Node Zero Rapid Response
This leader will partner closely with the Attack Team, Engineering, Data, Design, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Channel, and Support to define how Horizon3 monitors emerging threats, determines which vulnerabilities matter, maps those threats to customer environments, validates real-world exploitability, and helps customers take action before attackers do
Own the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and measurable outcomes for Node Zero Rapid Response, helping customers understand and respond to emerging vulnerabilities based on real exploitability and customer-specific risk
Establish the end-to-end operating model for Rapid Response, from initial threat signal through research, prioritization, customer relevance analysis, exploit/test development, notification, remediation, retesting, and verification
Set clear ownership, decision rights, service-level expectations, and operating rhythms across the teams required to deliver Rapid Response at speed
Drive standardization and scalability across Rapid Response research, customer communications, integrations, and operational workflows
Establish and grow exploit-intelligence relationships with security vendors, researchers, and other relevant intelligence providers to identify emerging Rapid Response opportunities as early as possible
Define the threat intelligence strategy for Rapid Response across vendor advisories, CVEs, CISA KEV, public research, exploit repositories, attacker activity, and other sources of vulnerability and exploit intelligence
Develop a prioritization framework for determining which vulnerabilities warrant immediate Rapid Response coverage based on exploitability, attacker utility, prevalence, customer footprint, potential impact, and evidence of exploitation in the wild
Partner directly with vulnerability researchers and attack engineers to assess exploit prerequisites, affected products and versions, attack techniques, mitigations, and the evidence and production-safety controls needed to validate exploitability in customer environments
Build capabilities that identify which customers, environments, and assets are potentially affected by an emerging threat using asset intelligence, technology fingerprinting, exposure context, historical Node Zero data, and other relevant signals
Drive the product, onboarding, and Customer Success motion required to get 100% of customers to run EAD and keep discovery current so Rapid Response notifications can be relevant and actionable
Drive automation that accelerates exploit and test development, including reusable research and exploit-development workflows, AI-assisted analysis, automated data collection, quality gates, and production-safety checks
Define and monitor operational metrics such as time from disclosure to threat assessment, time to customer relevance determination, time to test availability, alert precision, validation coverage, remediation rates, and retest rates
Track Rapid Response test rates by event, customer, segment, and technology to ensure the offering is delivering measurable customer value and to identify adoption gaps that require product or go-to-market action
