Director, Product Management

Location: 5 On-Site Days a Week in Sunnyvale, CA Headquarters.

Our Team's Vision:

At Illumio, our product management team thrives on visionary leadership, customer-centric innovation, and relentless execution. We tackle the most critical and complex challenge in modern cybersecurity: stopping malicious actors and containing cyber threats before lateral movement turns an attack into a widespread business catastrophe.

As a product manager here, you will directly define, design, and drive the future of Zero Trust, micro-segmentation, and automated breach containment. You will work side-by-side with world-class engineers, strategic partners, and global enterprise customers to defend highly complex hybrid data centers and multi-cloud architectures.

If you are eager to solve massive, distributed security problems and build resilient software that the world’s largest organizations rely on daily to safeguard their critical infrastructure, join our mission and shape a safer digital future.

Your Impact:

• Define and own the strategic vision and multi-year roadmap for advanced security workflows within the Insights platform.

• Drive the product strategy for advanced threat detection and behavioral analysis capabilities tailored to modern security operations center (SOC) environments.

• Partner closely with engineering leadership across multiple engineering teams to define requirements, prioritize features, and deliver capabilities through agile development cycles.

• Collaborate directly with field teams, customers, and strategic partners to gather operational workflow requirements and validate product-market fit.

• Develop the innovation roadmap for advanced analytical models and AI/ML-assisted features that streamline security investigation and triage.

• Lead product planning for platform integrations with ecosystem tools, enabling security operations teams to seamlessly leverage Illumio capabilities within their existing workflows.

• Own competitive positioning against market alternatives, partnering with Product Marketing to articulate Illumio’s unified value proposition.

• Build and mentor a high-performing team of product managers, establishing strong PM practices as the organization scales.

Your Toolkit:

• 10+ years of experience in product management or closely related roles (engineering, sales engineering, technical pre-sales) in enterprise security or networking.

• 5+ years of product management experience shipping analytics, detection, or workflow products in the network security or cybersecurity domain.

• 3+ years of experience managing and developing product managers.

• Deep domain expertise in network traffic analysis, security analytics, or detection and response – with a practitioner’s understanding of how SOC teams investigate and respond to network-based threats.

• Track record of defining and delivering enterprise SaaS products that security practitioners use daily, with demonstrable outcomes in user adoption and customer retention.

• Experience with data-intensive security products: flow analytics, behavioral detection, SIEM/SOAR integrations, or threat intelligence platforms.

• Established practice of utilizing data and analytics to inform product decisions, including product usage telemetry, customer engagement metrics, and market research.

• Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels – setting multi-year vision while running sprint-level prioritization with engineering teams.

Bonus Points:

• Product management experience at a vendor focused on network security analytics, security operations, or detection and response capabilities.

• Experience building products that leverage network flow data (NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, VPC Flow Logs) for security use cases.

• Understanding of AI/ML technologies applied to security detection – anomaly detection algorithms, graph neural networks, or LLM-based security reasoning.

• Background in network forensics, incident response, or security operations.

• Experience with Zero Trust architectures, microsegmentation, or network security policy management.

• Familiarity with cloud-native data platforms designed for security analytics at scale.
