Careers / Marketing, Sales and Field Engineering

Security teams are dealing with change from both directions. Attackers use AI to automate reconnaissance and exploitation, while AI agents inside companies introduce new risks through their access, decisions, and actions. At the same time, AI is changing how security teams work. Organizations need to decide which tools to adopt, what they can trust, and how much autonomy to allow.

SOC teams count on Gurucul to help them navigate these changes. We build the SIEM and the AI that works in it. Founded in 2010, Gurucul helped pioneer user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and has since built AI agents into data handling, detection, triage, investigation, and response. We’re a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SIEM. We’re dedicated to helping security teams handle the threats in front of them and prepare for what comes next.

The Director of Product Marketing will be central to that work. This is a player-coach role on a small, scrappy team, starting with one direct report and plans to grow. You’ll lead the product marketing function while doing the work yourself. We want someone who recognizes which market shifts matter and judges the work by its contribution to pipeline, wins, and adoption.

You can get deep into technical details and turn that understanding into clear, customer-centered messaging and stories. You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and building a function as the business grows. You might be a strong individual contributor ready to lead, or an experienced manager who still enjoys writing, launching, and working with the field.

We value customer-centricity, experimentation, clarity, collaboration, and a focus on results. We respect people’s points of view and expect them to change their minds when the evidence calls for it. If you like learning a product deeply, telling its story, and helping the people around you get better, we’d like to meet you.

• Market and category strategy. Help define where Gurucul competes and lead how we position our products with buyers and analysts. Spend time with customers, prospects, and practitioners to understand who buys, who evaluates, and what changes a decision. Lead win-loss analysis and competitive intelligence, examine customer and marketing data, and bring what you learn into messaging, go-to-market plans, and product strategy.
• The story
  . Build a compelling narrative that connects a buyer’s problem to why Gurucul is the right choice. Answer questions about trust, explainability, and control with specific capabilities and evidence. Turn the narrative into presentations, web copy, demo stories, and executive talk tracks that buyers remember and sellers can deliver with confidence.
• Proof.Know the product well enough to explain how it works and where its limits are. Build strong relationships with Product Management and Sales Engineering to validate claims, develop scenarios, and capture customer outcomes. Clearly distinguish released capabilities, previews, and future direction in every story.
• Launches and go-to-market. Define the audience, use cases, offer, launch plan, and sales enablement for major releases, and carry those plans through execution. Work with Product Management on packaging and pricing, and with Marketing on campaigns. Develop distinct plans for acquiring new customers, increasing adoption, and expanding existing accounts, each with clear success measures.
