About the role
As Director of Product Management for Security Products, you'll own the next wave of Cribl's security portfolio.

Then you'll lead what we fund, from the first customer conversations to launch and growth.
Responsibilities

- Lead execution for what we fund — define the product, write the requirements, set success metrics, and drive delivery with engineering from 0 to 1 and beyond
- Make it one platform — make sure new capabilities work natively with Cribl Detect
- Spend real time with customers — CISOs, SOC managers, detection engineers, and analysts
- Partner with Marketing, Sales, and technology partners on positioning, packaging, launch, and field enablement
