Vice President, Platform Product Management

About the role

The VP, Platform Product Management will define and execute the multi-year product strategy for Rapid7's foundational cloud security platform. This leader will drive the evolution of centralized platform capabilities including identity, agentic AI services, data plane architecture, developer ecosystems, and shared cloud services.

Responsibilities

• Architect the multi-year platform product vision and execution roadmaps, transforming disparate shared systems into a cohesive, developer-friendly platform ecosystem.
• Lead and develop a high-performing product organization, developing technical platform leadership and building lasting organizational capability.
• Synchronize core platform roadmaps and technical dependencies directly across all application business units to unlock massive engineering velocity.
• Oversee the strategic management of shared infrastructure investments, cloud unit economics, and data architecture governance policies.
• Establish data-driven operational metrics focused on platform adoption rates, developer API satisfaction, system uptime, and computing cost efficiencies.
• Mitigate architecture deployment risks by introducing robust early-warning mechanisms for platform blockers, scalability constraints, and data privacy compliance.
• Lead cross-functional alignment initiatives across product boundaries to establish unified cloud-native platform frameworks, shared identity models, and consistent developer toolsets.

Qualifications

Deep expertise implementing scalable identity systems, unified data plane architectures, developer-facing APIs, and cloud infrastructure cost-optimization strategies.

Experience with agentic AI in production.

Talent for making rapid, evidence-backed architectural trade-off decisions that maintain platform momentum while integrating varied business unit requirements.

Communication style that distills deep technical platform roadmaps and structural constraints into clear, motivating business rationale for non-technical stakeholders.

Cultivate a global engineering and product network across corporate boundaries to deliver integrated, scalable platform updates.

Diagnose organizational and structural friction — across architecture, matrix relationships, and team dynamics — and adjust leadership style and process levers to drive platform health at scale.

Skills

Demonstrated mastery in steering complex technical platform portfolios, infrastructure-as-a-product strategies, or centralized cloud service roadmaps within enterprise SaaS ecosystems.

Absolute commitment to establishing clear engineering ownership parameters, joint team milestones, and transparent cross-functional delivery expectations.

Openness to driving deep technical and operational change, keeping decentralized product teams and engineering squads fully aligned to forward-looking platform standards.
