Vice President of Product Management, Cybersecurity

The Vice President of Product Management (VPPM) will play a pivotal role in the future of our company, providing the overall vision for the product roadmap and leading product management. The VPPM is a challenging role—one that will help shape not only our products but our entire company. The VPPM will guide CodeHunter’s products from conceptualization through planning and development, with responsibility for evidence-based product definition, User Experience (UX) design, pricing strategy, market and user research, competitive/market analysis, market launch, and coordination with the sales, support, and services teams.

The VPPM must have a deep knowledge of product management and three or more years familiarity with the MSP/MSSP and enterprise cybersecurity marketplace, including the priorities and motivations of buyers and end users. The VPPM will be responsible for developing and implementing strategic product plans and for collaborating with customers, prospects, external partners, and internal teams to grow our business. This position requires leadership and organizational skills to take ownership of product development and lead cross-functional teams to ensure successful business outcomes.

Requirements

• Set Product Strategy: Ensure that the entire company understands the vision and direction for the product. This is a shared responsibility with the CEO and other executives, but the VPPM has a unique responsibility to communicate and reinforce that strategy across teams.
• Direct and Manage Product Roadmap: The VPPM will create and maintain product roadmaps, and business cases, as well as manage the creation and maintenance of feature backlogs; timelines; business, functional, and user requirements; and analysis and design artifacts such as persona descriptions, use cases, user stories, user task flows, and journey maps.
• Represent the Customer and End User: The VPPM understands user-centered design and brings the mindset of customers and end users into the organization, considering them at every stage of product development, delivery, deployment, and adoption--owning the complete product experience.
• Ask Hard Questions: The VPPM must ask the tough questions, keeping both the customers and end users in mind while questioning how planned work relates to the product’s purpose and goals. It is their job to ask, “Are we building what matters?”
• Bring the Company Together: Great products are the result of a team effort. The VPPM acts as a cross-functional leader, bringing the organization together to meet business goals. The VPPM is one of the company’s best storytellers, internally and externally.
• See the Future: The VPPM must draw on a deep knowledge of the product, its customers and end users and the industry to predict the future. It’s their responsibility to define a roadmap and set the product and the company on a course to lead the market.
• Satisfy All Stakeholders: Ensure revenue and customer satisfaction goals are met by collaborating with internal and external “clients.”
