Senior Director, Product Management – Autonomous Remediation Platform (Autonomous Rem Ops)
About the Role

Location:

Foster City, CA, USA 3-days’ work from office

Organization:
Product GTM & SME

Reports To:

SVP of Product Management Qualys is redefining cybersecurity operations through the Enterprise Tru Risk Platform and the industry's first AI-Native Risk Operations Center (ROC). We are seeking a visionary Senior Director of Product Management to lead the evolution of Tru Risk Eliminate into the market's leading Autonomous Remediation Operations (Rem Ops) Platform.

This leader will define and execute the strategy for Agentic AI-powered cyber risk reduction, transforming remediation from a manual, ticket-driven process into an autonomous, intelligent, and measurable business workflow.

You will own the vision, roadmap, and execution for a Next-Gen Autonomous Rem Ops platform that orchestrates risk elimination across vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, cloud exposures, application risks, identity risks, and emerging AI risks.

Working across Product, Engineering, Data Science, AI, Design, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, you will build the category-defining platform that enables enterprises to move from "finding risk" to "proving risk reduction." Qualys' ETM platform already positions itself as an AI-powered Risk Operations Center with Agentic AI capabilities; this role will define the execution system that closes the loop.

Mission Build the industry's first Autonomous Rem Ops Platform that enables enterprises to:

Discover remediation opportunities

Prioritize based on business risk Generate optimal remediation plans

Execute fixes autonomously

Coordinate cross-functional teams

Validate outcomes

Measure and prove cyber risk reduction

Why This Role Matters This is not a traditional PM leadership role.

This leader will define the future of cyber risk reduction.

Most security vendors stop e stop y few can execute remediation.

The mission of this role is to build the platform that autonomously eliminates cyber risk at enterprise scale and positions Qualys as the leader in the emerging Autonomous Rem Ops category—creating a natural evolution from VMDR to ETM to a fully autonomous Risk Operations Center."Autonomous Rem Ops (Remediation Operations):
The system of record and system of action for enterprise cyber risk reduction."That category has the potential to be materially larger than traditional vulnerability management because it spans IT Operations, Sec Ops, Cloud Ops, Dev Ops, IAM, and AI Security rather than just vulnerability scanning.

What You Will Own Product Vision & Strategy - Define the long-term vision for:
Autonomous Remediation Operations Move beyond vulnerability remediation into:
