** Job Summary*
* The Team

To stay ahead of the curve, it's critical to know where the curve is and how to anticipate the changes we're facing. For the fastest-growing cybersecurity company, the curve is the evolution of cyberattacks and the products and services that proactively address them. Our Services Product Management team operates at the intersection of product innovation and customer success. Operating as strategic consultants to the business, we provide the essential architecture for our products by defining the service Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, anticipating market shifts, and implementing scalable, highly automated service solutions that align with our clients' evolving needs.

As threats and technology evolve, we stay ahead to accomplish our mission.

We are looking for a visionary strategist and Service Product Owner to redefine our Support and Services GTM model for an AI-first, 'agentic' future. As the Senior Manager, Services Product Management, you will act as an internal consultant and the strategic bridge between Product Management, Engineering, Customer Support, and GTM teams. You will focus specifically on a dedicated product set within Network Security, intimately understanding its product priorities and long-term roadmap to design and deliver perfectly aligned support and service models.

Crucially, you are not building the software products; rather, you are the architect of the strategic service, support, and monetization models that surround them. Operating within a highly focused pod model, you will manage dedicated NPI Program Manager(s) while leading the evolution of our Support offerings from a traditional access-based model to one that is outcome-oriented and significantly enabled by AI.

By combining the strategic, market-driven oversight of a top-tier consultant with the operational rigor of a Product Manager, you will ensure our global delivery teams are enabled, aligned, and strategically positioned to deliver exceptional service for every new Net Sec launch.
