About the role

We are seeking an experienced Director of Product Management to lead our high-growth Agentic AI product portfolio. This leader will have complete 360-degree ownership of our conversational interfaces, autonomous risk agents, and decentralized agent ecosystem, spanning both inbound and outbound product management responsibilities.

Responsibilities

  • Product Portfolio Ownership
    • ROC: Our central conversational chat assistant and primary intelligent interface for the enterprise
    • Autonomous Risk Agents: Our existing out-of-the-box cyber risk workforce (including Agent Val, Agent Sara, and Agent Nova)
    • Agent Studio & Marketplace: Our platform environments allowing customers to compose custom agents and tap into a broader ecosystem
  • Business Ownership and Responsibilities
    • Grow the Business: Act as the ultimate 'Business Owner' of the Agentic AI product portfolio. Constantly evaluate how to drive revenue, justify every agent feature prioritized, and optimize cross-agent synergies.
    • Business Analysis: Run regular data analysis of the agent portfolio's revenue, tracking core metrics like cross-sell, up-sell, expansion, and renewal. Build data-driven plans to improve these metrics for executive leadership.
    • Pricing and Packaging: Evaluate monetization models for autonomous agents, including consumption-based pricing, premium agent tiers, and marketplace monetization models to drive customer adoption.
    • Product-Led Growth (PLG): Architect innovative PLG and Product-Led Sales (PLS) motions specific to AI software. Design digital discovery and sandbox experiences that let users build trial agents in Agent Studio and seamlessly convert to paid tiers.
  • Outbound Product Management Responsibilities
    • Sales Enablement & Positioning: Develop strategic sales enablement collateral, target messaging, and product positioning. Train the global sales team on how to deliver value-based demonstrations of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.
    • Competitive Intelligence: Research the rapidly evolving agentic AI and security landscape. Determine how legacy platforms are positioned and develop offensive strategies demonstrating our unique agentic advantages.
    • Customer Relationships: Maintain deep relationships with enterprise CISOs and security practitioners to gather continuous feedback, understand operational friction, and translate insights into hard product requirements.
  • Inbound Product Management Responsibilities
    • Autonomous Multi-Agent Orchestration: Define product requirements for multi-agent coordination, agent-to-agent communication protocols, and dynamic sub-agent composition (how agents like Val, Sara, and Nova collaborate to orchestrate risk remediation).
    • Explainable AI & Guardrails: Design the framework for how ROCky securely delegates sub-tasks to downstream agents while maintaining strict validation checkpoints and transparent, explainable chain-of-thought processing.
    • Remediation & Workflow Integration: Partner with downstream product teams (such as Patch and Autonomous RemOps) to ensure our agents can seamlessly hand off execution plans to the platform’s underlying remediation fabrics.

    Requirements

    • Proven Track Record: 8+ years of product management experience, or 6+ years of technical leadership/solution architecture experience, with a heavy emphasis on scaling AI/ML products, LLM applications, or autonomous frameworks.
    • Advanced AI Architecture Experience: Practical product experience working with multi-agent frameworks, deep understanding of agentic memory layers, and experience solving the real-world latency, alignment, and cost challenges of complex sub-agent coordination loops.
    • Security & Automation Acumen: A solid foundational understanding of enterprise cybersecurity, vulnerability management, SOC/ROC dynamics, or workflow automation platforms.
    • Platform & Ecosystem Experience: Prior experience building developer platforms, low-code/no-code builders (like Agent Studio), or marketplace dynamics.
    • GTM & Business Expertise: Strong data-driven decision-making skills balancing technical feasibility with clear business impacts, pricing strategies, and pipeline generation.
    • Executive Presence: Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence cross-functionally and confidently engage with C-level customer executives.

    Qualifications

    • Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math; MBA or equivalent practical experience preferred.
