• Conducting in-depth data analysis to assess competition, customer impact, and support research initiatives.
• Supporting other Snyk teams in utilizing security data, explaining complex security data concepts, and facilitating its integration into various customer workflows.
• Collaborating with product marketing to frame and promote security features and contribute to developer relations activities such as blogs and thought leadership. 
• Leading zero-day incident responses and communication, staying updated on security news and trends, and monitoring competitor activities to inform product decisions.

What You’ll Need:

• A proven track record in managing complex products, from ideation through delivery, with a focus on security intelligence and data-driven decision-making. 
• Deep understanding of application security and/or open source security, including cybersecurity concepts, trends, and standards, with experience in leading zero-day incidents and staying informed about security news and competitor activities.
