Job Level
About the role
- Own the end‑to‑end product strategy and multi‑year roadmap for PingOne Privilege, with a focus on global enterprise and regulated customers.
- Define how PAM capabilities (e.g., credential and secrets vaulting, session management, just‑in‑time and just‑enough access, elevation and approvals, auditing and forensics) evolve to meet emerging threat, compliance, and operational needs.
- Define how PAM integrates with Ping’s broader identity platform (SSO/MFA, IAM, IGA, directories, analytics) to deliver differentiated, end‑to‑end scenarios.
- Engage directly with CISOs, developers, security architects, identity leaders, and operations teams to deeply understand enterprise threat models, workflows, and constraints.
- Translate complex security and compliance requirements into clear, opinionated product use cases for both cloud and hybrid deployments.
- Monitor the PAM, IAM, and IGA competitive landscape and adjacent markets (cloud infra, DevOps, ITSM, ITOM) to ensure Ping is a strategic differentiator.
- Drive complex cross‑functional initiatives that span multiple product areas and services, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, and communication.
- Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success on positioning, packaging, and GTM plays for PAM‑centric solutions and bundles.
- Support strategic deals, customer escalations, and roadmap reviews as the primary product voice for PAM, especially with large global accounts.
- Define and track key success metrics (e.g., privileged account/session coverage, reduction in standing privileges, attach/expansion rates, time‑to‑value) and use them to drive iteration.
- Champion a culture of customer‑backed, data‑informed, experiment‑oriented decision‑making across the product organization.
Requirements
- 10+ years in product management for enterprise B2B software, with significant time in identity and access management.
- Direct product ownership in Privileged Access Management (or closely related domains such as privileged session management, credential vaulting, PAMaaS, privileged remote access, CIEM) for large or regulated enterprises.
- Demonstrated success defining and executing strategy for complex products spanning on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
- Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives without direct reports, aligning Engineering, Architecture, GTM, and Operations teams around common outcomes.
- Strong understanding of privileged access concepts: least privilege, Zero Standing Privileges, just-in-time access, session monitoring and recording, approvals and workflows, secrets management, and audit/compliance needs.
- Solid grounding in identity and security fundamentals, including authentication, authorization, policy models, directory services, and common enterprise infrastructure targets.
- Deep knowledge of IaaS cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and developers tools and technologies including SSH, RDP, Kubernetes and Databases.
- Additional experience in IAM and IGA (SSO/MFA, federation, lifecycle provisioning, access requests, certifications, SoD) is a significant plus.
- Exceptional problem-structuring and analytical skills, comfortable working with both qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including experience presenting strategy and roadmap to executives and strategic customers.
- Proven ability to decompose large initiatives into clear milestones, manage risk, and drive execution in agile environments.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or related field; an advanced degree is a plus.
