Director, Product Marketing – Security, AI and Emerging Technology

This Director leads the product marketing function across two of the company's energetic and fastest evolving product areas: Security and AI. While these domains serve different buyer personas and address different use cases on the surface, they share a critical strategic thread. Both represent the company's highest growth opportunity to expand beyond its CDN foundation, and both operate in markets where the competitive landscape is shifting rapidly.

This is a highly externally facing, narrative driven role. This leader will work to establish the company as a credible, trusted player in markets where buyers have no shortage of alternatives.

Reporting to the VP of Product Marketing, you will lead and manage a team of product marketers covering security and AI/emerging technology, guide go-to-market strategy and execution, partner closely with Analyst Relations, and act as a cross-functional evangelist for these categories, serving as a key voice in the market.

What You'll Do:

- Team Leadership: Lead and manage a team of product marketers spanning Security and AI & Emerging Technology.
- GTM Strategy & Execution: Guide the strategic creation and execution of go-to-market plans for security and AI/emerging technology product launches.
- Narrative & Messaging: Develop the company's overarching security story and AI/emerging technology narrative, and validate that both resonate with target buyers around the problems that we solve with our solutions.
- Analyst Relations: Partner with the Head of Analyst Relations to support the AR program for security and AI, ensuring the analyst community understands the company's narrative and value propositions in both categories.
- Executive & Company Visibility:



Represent the security and AI/emerging technology product lines in company QBRs.
- Partner & Channel GTM: Collaborate with Partner Marketing and Channel Sales teams to prioritize and support partner GTM efforts.
- Sales Enablement: Partner with the enablement team to create sales trainings and other assets used in sales cycles.
- Market Positioning: Partner with Portfolio Intelligence to apply competitive intelligence and technical differentiation insights to effectively position the company's security and AI products and features.
- Customer & Buyer Insights: Ensure proof points, value delivery, and customer insights cultivated by the Advocacy team and other parts of the org are accurately represented and activated across Product Marketing assets and deliverables.
- Customer Advocacy Support: Partner with the Advocacy team on the creation and review of customer proof materials (case studies, testimonials, references) to ensure they reflect accurately, on narrative security and AI positioning.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Management, Sales, and Marketing to ensure product strategy, messaging, and packaging are aligned and effective.
- Content & Campaign Input: Provide input on and create unique assets with Growth Marketing and Campaigns for use across the buyer journey including within select verticals.
- Category Evangelism: Partner with Portfolio Intelligence to find a differentiated angle in a crowded competitive field for security and AI, shape how that angle is told, and deliver that message to the market in public presentations.

What We're Looking For:

- 12+ years of relevant product marketing experience in security, AI/ML, or related infrastructure categories, including 5 years leading product marketing teams.
- Technical understanding of modern approaches to cloud and application security; familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure and governance concepts.
- Strong analytical abilities, with experience sizing and prioritizing market opportunities.
- Excellent copywriting, editing, and communication skills.
- Highly competent and confident presenter and trainer,



comfortable with frequent interaction with customers, prospects, and industry analysts.
