Senior Product Manager, Cloud Security (CNAPP)

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly technical Senior Product Manager to lead the strategy and productization of Trend Micro’s Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP).

Responsibilities

• Own the strategy and roadmap for the cloud security portfolio, defining a prioritized, outcome-driven plan.

• Synthesize customer requirements, field feedback, competitive intelligence, and market trends into a coherent strategic roadmap.

• Decide which capabilities to build, extend, integrate, or partner on, and sequence delivery based on customer need, business impact, and technical feasibility.

• Identify and drive opportunities to embed AI and generative AI into the product — such as AI-assisted detection, investigation, remediation, and analyst productivity — as a core part of the roadmap.

• Use AI tools to accelerate product work, including research, requirements, competitive analysis, prototyping, and decision-making.

• Co-Work with R&D to Deliver Cloud Solutions

• Apply strong cloud expertise in architecture and design reviews to guide technically sound, cloud-native product decisions.

• Own the “what” and “why”: author clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria, and make timely trade-off decisions during development.

• Maintain a healthy backlog, participate in agile ceremonies, and remove ambiguity so engineering can move quickly.

• Collaborate effectively with globally distributed R&D teams across multiple time zones.

• Field Enablement and Feedback

• Co-work with the field — sales, solution engineering, and customer success — to deliver enablement, messaging, demos, and competitive positioning.

• Establish repeatable channels to collect, structure, and prioritize field and customer feedback, and feed it back into the roadmap.

• Partner with product marketing on launches, pricing and packaging input, and adoption programs.

• Customer and Market Engagement

• Meet with executive stakeholders — cloud security directors, CISOs, and CTOs — to understand strategic priorities, risk posture, and buying criteria.

• Engage hands-on cloud, platform, DevOps, and security engineering teams to capture detailed requirements and validate solutions.

• Represent the product strategy clearly to executives, customers, partners, analysts, and both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Participate in customer advisory boards, briefings, pilots, and industry events to shape and communicate the roadmap.

• Go-to-Market and Differentiation

• Define why each capability matters, which customer problem it solves, and how it should be positioned and sold.

• Develop positioning, competitive analysis, customer presentations, solution briefs, and demonstrations.

• Ensure every capability creates clear, measurable value for the customer and the business.

• Data-Driven Prioritization and Success

• Use customer demand, product usage, adoption, technical feasibility, competitive intelligence, and pipeline impact to prioritize investment.

• Measure success through customer adoption, risk reduction, influenced pipeline, and reusable platform capability.

Qualifications

• Strong, hands-on cloud expertise is mandatory — deep working knowledge of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and/or Google Cloud architecture, services, and security.

• Strong AI fluency is mandatory — demonstrated, hands-on use of AI and generative AI tools in daily work, and a clear point of view on how AI reshapes cloud security products.

• 7+ years of combined experience across cybersecurity, cloud security, cloud platforms, or enterprise software.

• 5+ years of product management or technical product leadership experience, including 3+ years focused specifically on cloud or cloud security products.

• Cloud expertise from both a technical and a product management perspective.

• Demonstrated experience co-working with R&D to deliver cloud-related solutions through the full lifecycle: planning, design, and implementation.

• Experience working with field teams (sales, SE, customer success) on enablement and structured feedback loops.

• Experience engaging customers at both executive (CTO/Director) and hands-on practitioner levels to gather requirements.

• Experience collaborating with globally distributed R&D teams across multiple time zones.

• Previous experience as a cloud architect, solutions architect, security architect, software engineer, sales engineer, or technical product manager.

• Experience with cloud security or CNAPP domains such as posture management, workload and container protection, cloud identity/entitlements, detection and response, and application security.

• Familiarity with security operations (SOC) workflows and integration with SIEM, XDR, and SOAR platforms is a plus.

Technical Expertise

• Strong Understanding Of Cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

• Cloud-native services, workloads, containers, and Kubernetes

• Cloud security posture, configuration, and compliance

• Cloud identity, authorization, and entitlements

• Cloud threat detection, response, and runtime controls

• Infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines

• APIs, telemetry, policy enforcement, and security findings

• Compliance frameworks (CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, SOC 2)

• SaaS, hybrid, on-premises, and sovereign deployment architectures

Product Leadership Ability

• To turn complex cloud technology into clear customer use cases and product requirements.

• Strong roadmap, prioritization, execution, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
