Job Summary Your Career In enterprise cybersecurity, data is king - but only if you can ingest it, orchestrate it, and act on it instantly. As a visionary, technically sharp Senior Product Management Leader , you will own the foundational engine of the Cortex platform. In this high-impact role, you will lead a dedicated team consisting of a Product Manager (PM) and a Technical Marketing Engineer (TME) to build a seamless, world-class ecosystem of 1st and 3rd-party integrations, out-of-the-box security content (playbooks, packs), and a thriving Cortex Marketplace. You will be driving the strategy for how our customers onboard, connect their entire security stack, and automate their defenses at scale. Your Impact Lead & Mentor: Manage and scale a high-impact team, providing strategic product direction to your Product Manager and technical/go-to-market guidance to your Technical Marketing Engineer. Own the Cortex Ecosystem: Define the vision and roadmap for our 1st and 3rd-party connector strategy, ensuring flawless data ingestion, integrity, and depth across the platform. Supercharge Automation & Content: Drive the lifecycle of high-value platform content—including automated playbooks, integration packs, and streamlined onboarding workflows that turn complex security data into immediate value. Scale the Marketplace: Treat our Marketplace as a strategic product lever, maximizing the velocity, quality, and adoption of community and partner integrations. Drive Platform-Wide Synergy: Act as a central bridge, collaborating closely with Engineering, Security Research, and peer PMs across XSIAM and Cortex modules (XDR, Cortex Cloud, Exposure Management) to deliver a unified, elite security experience. Qualifications Your Experience Proven Leader: At least 5 years of Product Management experience, including a minimum of 2 years successfully managing and coaching team members (PMs, TMEs, or closely related technical roles). Cybersecurity Native: A solid background in cybersecurity from at least one of your previous positions. ​ Preferred Qualifications Domain Expertise: Hands-on experience in SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) or SIEM environments, with a strong preference for product management experience in these areas. You know what makes an automated playbook effective and why seamless integration matters. Integration Champion: A proven track record of managing complex 3rd-party integrations, navigating external vendor/partner ecosystems, and building developer-friendly APIs. SecOps & Workflow Knowledge: A deep understanding of SecOps workflows and how security analysts operate daily. Ecosystem Thinker: You look at platforms holistically and understand how to bridge the gap between core product strategy (PM) and technical enablement, validation, and content creation (TME). Why This Role is Exciting At the Center of Everything: You and your team sit at the critical intersection of Engineering, Security Research, and Customer Success. Every major feature across XSIAM, XDR, and Cortex Cloud relies on the data pipelines and content frameworks your team creates. If you love high visibility, scaling people, and building ecosystem-level products, this is your next career-defining role.
