Job Summary
We're seeking a Senior Product Manager to define and advance our Device Security solution — an AI-first solution that discovers, assesses, and protects every managed, unmanaged, and IoT/OT device in organizations. You'll own product areas across our key pillars and drive cross-functional delivery from concept to launch.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience in IoT/OT Security, Vulnerability Management, Network Security (NGFWs, NAC), Endpoint/EDR, or CTEM/CAASM/ASPM, — with a systems mindset, comfort in engineering-level discussions, and ability to lead customer-facing presentations. The nearterm roadmap is explicitly agentic; fluency in autonomous AI workflows as a product — not just tooling — is a real differentiator.
Success in this role demands agility, excellent time management, and the ability to thrive in Palo Alto Networks’ fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities
Define and communicate product strategy and roadmap aligned to business goals and market trends.
Translate customer needs into clear business and functional requirements across the portfolio.
Partner with UX to craft intuitive workflows and dashboards that drive engagement.
Collaborate with Engineering, Design, and GTM throughout the product lifecycle to deliver high-quality releases.
Prioritize initiatives based on customer insights, business value, and technical feasibility.
Lead go-to-market readiness with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success.
Serve as voice of the customer — validate features, test builds, guide post-launch iterations.
Stay ahead of managed/unmanaged device and IoT/OT security trends through research and competitive analysis.
Evangelize Device Security's AI capabilities — ML-based discovery, LLM enrichment, multi-factor risk scoring — to partners, customers, and internal stakeholders.
Own the roadmap areas — turning autonomous AI capabilities into trustworthy product experiences. Ground features in customer use cases and measurable outcomes.
Drive Device Security expansion — coordinating across Business Units, Product, IT, NPI, and partner teams.
Track adoption metrics; partner with CS and GTM to convert deployments into realized security value.
Define and communicate the product strategy and roadmap, ensuring alignment with business goals and market trends.
Translate customer needs and technical considerations into clear business and functional requirements across the product portfolio. Lead platform scale initiatives.
Own the agentic security roadmap — define requirements for the Agentic actions on our NetSec and 3rd party systems, translate autonomous AI capabilities into concrete product experiences customers can trust and act on.
Partner with UX to craft intuitive user experiences, focusing on workflows and dashboards that drive engagement and satisfaction.
Collaborate with engineering, design, and GTM teams throughout the product lifecycle—from concept to launch—to deliver high-quality releases.
Prioritize product initiatives based on customer insights, business value, and technical feasibility.
Lead go-to-market readiness by working closely with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success teams.
Serve as the voice of the customer by validating features, testing builds, and guiding post-launch iterations.
Stay ahead of emerging trends in the Managed/Unmanaged Device and OT/IoT security landscape through ongoing research and competitive analysis.
Act as a product evangelist for Device Security, articulating how our AI-first platform — including ML-based device discovery, LLM-enriched asset profiling, multi-factor risk scoring, crowdsourced behavioral baselines and native security enforcement and protections — delivers outcomes competitors cannot match.
