Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell is seeking a highly accomplished Senior Director, Product Security to lead a cross-cutting, enterprise-wide product security function.

As the executive leader for Product Security and PSIRT, this role serves as a primary interface between engineering, product teams, executive leadership, and external stakeholders. Success in this role depends on the ability to translate technical risk into business impact, align diverse stakeholders, and drive decisive action through influence rather than direct authority.

• Define and articulate Marvell’s enterprise Product Security vision, strategy, and priorities in a clear and compelling manner.
• Communicate product security risk, trends, and recommendations to executive leadership in business-relevant terms.
• Prepare and deliver executive-level presentations that enable informed risk and investment decisions.
• Establish trusted relationships with senior leaders across engineering, product, legal, and operations.

• Own the enterprise Product Security strategy and multi-year roadmap spanning all product lines.
• Establish company-wide product security policies, standards, and governance models applied consistently across organizations.
• Drive alignment and accountability for security outcomes through partnership and influence.

• Partner closely with engineering, architecture, product management, quality, legal, supply chain, and operations teams.
• Enable teams to integrate security-by-design practices through guidance, tooling, and shared accountability.
• Act as a connector across organizations to resolve security issues that span multiple teams or products.

Risk Management and Decision Support
• Establish an enterprise product security risk management framework that enables consistent identification, prioritization, and treatment of risk.
• Translate technical vulnerabilities and architectural risks into clear business and customer impact assessments.
• Support executive decision-making by framing risk tradeoffs, mitigation options, and residual risk acceptance.
• Provide ongoing visibility into enterprise risk posture, emerging threats, and systemic issues.

PSIRT Executive Leadership and External Engagement
• Serve as the executive owner of Marvell’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PCIRT).
• Lead cross-functional response to significant product security incidents, including executive briefings and customer communications.
• Oversee coordinated vulnerability disclosure and engagement with external researchers, customers, and partners.
• Ensure consistent, accurate, and timely security communications during incidents.

People, Influence, and Culture
• Build and lead a core product security and PCIRT leadership team while operating within a federated model.
• Develop security champions and trusted partnerships across engineering organizations.
• Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and proactive risk management across Marvell.

Key Metrics and Success Measures
• Executive and stakeholder confidence in product security risk communication and decision support.
• Consistent enterprise adoption of security-by-design and SDL practices.
• Reduction in systemic and repeat product security risks.
• Mean time to communicate, triage, remediate, and disclose product vulnerabilities.
• Effectiveness of cross-functional coordination during security incidents.
• Improved clarity, predictability, and visibility of product security risk at the executive level.

What We're Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or a related discipline.
• 12+ years of experience in product security, including leadership of enterprise initiatives.
• 5+ years in senior leadership roles requiring influence across multiple organizations.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to executive and non-technical audiences.

• CISSP, CISM, or equivalent certifications.
• Proven success operating in highly matrixed, cross-functional organizations.
