About the role
- Own the end-to-end execution of one or more Security Products workstreams, translating strategy and customer needs into clear requirements, sequencing, and shippable increments.

- Work cross-functionally across Security, IAM, Networking, Support, Billing, and service teams to ensure integrated customer journeys, clear ownership boundaries, and clean remediation paths.
- Define and maintain release criteria for your scope, including quality bars, rollout approach, customer readiness inputs, and internal enablement requirements.
- Produce clear written narratives and launch assets that explain customer value, expected behavior, and operational considerations, in partnership with Corporate Communications, Product Marketing, and Developer Relations.
- Create and maintain reusable templates, checklists, and stakeholder workflows that make product launches and customer updates consistent and low-friction.
- Help align incident response communications by maintaining customer-facing update templates, coordinating stakeholder workflows, and ensuring product and incident messaging remains accurate and timely during high-priority events.
