Who you are
- Product leadership experience: 10+ years in product management with several years leading and growing PM teams, ideally within cybersecurity, endpoint, or infrastructure software
- Broad endpoint portfolio ownership: a track record managing a wide range of endpoint use cases — such as compliance, patch management, vulnerability management, and secure/zero-trust access — not a single narrow feature area
- Deep domain knowledge: strong grasp of cybersecurity, endpoint security best practices, data protection, threat prevention, patch and vulnerability management, and device posture/compliance
- Hands-on and technical: comfortable working shoulder-to-shoulder with R&D; day to day, engaging credibly on architecture and trade-offs, and going deep in the product rather than staying at the surface
- Multi-platform endpoint experience: experience delivering endpoint or agent software across operating systems and device types — Windows and macOS desktop, and iOS and Android mobile
- Platform product thinking: experience building or evolving a shared platform that multiple teams develop on, balancing consistency and reuse with team autonomy and speed
- AI-first ways of working: an AI-first mindset — you actively apply AI tools to your own and your team’s daily work to move faster and raise quality
- Community / product-led growth: experience growing a free, community, or product-led offering and converting adoption into commercial outcomes is a strong plus
- Business & partnership builder: demonstrated ability to build the business — pricing, packaging, GTM — and to establish technology and channel partnerships
- Track record of delivery: proven experience managing products from concept through launch, with results in user adoption, revenue growth, or market penetration
- Analytical & decisive: strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills with a data-driven approach
- Exceptional communicator: outstanding interpersonal and executive communication skills, enabling collaboration across cross-functional teams and credibility with customers and leadership
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business, or a related field; MBA is a plus
- Ways of working: familiarity with Agile methodologies or similar frameworks
What the job involves
- Reports to: Chief Product Officer (CPO)
- Join a pre-IPO, global cybersecurity leader at the forefront of innovation. We protect the unseen — the infrastructure that powers our way of life. OPSWAT protects the world’s critical infrastructure across IT, OT, and ICS environments, trusted by more than 2,000 organizations, governments, and institutions worldwide
- We are seeking an exceptional product leader to own the vision, strategy, and execution of MetaDefender Endpoint — the endpoint foundation that delivers peripheral media protection, advanced compliance, remote access control, vulnerability detection, and patch management to secure critical assets and maintain organizational security
- This is a senior leadership role with end-to-end ownership of a broad endpoint portfolio spanning multiple high-value use cases, every endpoint agent flavor across desktop and mobile, a free global community edition, and a platform strategy that other OPSWAT product lines build on
- You will set the roadmap, work hands-on with top global R&D; teams every day,
and build the business and partnerships that scale endpoint across the globe
- MetaDefender Endpoint secures devices inside critical IT and OT networks and powers a portfolio of endpoint use cases. This role owns that portfolio end to end:
- Peripheral Media Protection: the foundational use case — scanning and sanitizing removable media and peripheral devices before their content can be accessed, protecting devices inside critical IT and OT networks from USB and removable-media threats
- Advanced Compliance: continuous endpoint posture and compliance assessment — verifying device health, configuration, and security controls against regulatory frameworks and organizational policy, with audit-ready evidence
- Vulnerability Assessment: continuous asset inspection and file-based vulnerability assessment with CVSS-based risk prioritization to surface the vulnerabilities that matter most, before and after software is installed
- Patch Management: a strategic growth direction for the company — centralized patch management across on-premises, air-gapped, and cloud environments, automatically patching third-party applications and OS updates on flexible schedules and with audit-ready evidence
- Zero Trust Access: real-time device posture and compliance checks that feed continuous, least-privilege, per-application access — layering device health onto identity so every access decision reflects who the user is and whether their device is healthy
- Endpoint as a platform: the shared endpoint foundation that OPSWAT’s other product lines — such as Managed File Transfer, Network Access Control, and Endpoint Malware Scanning — build their endpoint capabilities on, so each team ships on a single, common endpoint architecture without losing the agility and domain expertise it owns
- The role owns every flavor of the endpoint agent — from Windows and macOS desktop clients to iOS and Android mobile apps — delivering a consistent endpoint experience across desktop and mobile platforms
- Beyond the commercial offering, this role also stewards the free MetaDefender Endpoint community — an open, no-cost download that lets anyone experience OPSWAT’s technologies firsthand — growing adoption, gathering feedback, and building a pipeline into the commercial portfolio
- This is a hands-on, technically-engaged product leadership role — not a pure strategy or coordination seat
- You own the full endpoint portfolio across its commercial use cases, every agent flavor, and its community edition, and you are accountable for the outcomes: adoption, growth, and customer success
- You partner with global R&D; on a day-to-day basis — in the details of architecture, prioritization, and release — and you champion the platform strategy that lets multiple use-case teams build on a shared endpoint foundation while preserving each team’s speed and expertise
- You bring an AI-first mindset, leveraging AI in the day-to-day work of the team to maximize efficiency and output. You build, mentor, and lead a team of product manager,
product designer, product marketing, and engineering professionals, set the bar for product excellence, and represent endpoint to customers, partners, and executive leadership
- Own product vision & strategy: define, refine, and champion the vision and roadmap for the MetaDefender Endpoint portfolio — compliance and patch management, zero trust access, and vulnerability management — aligned to business goals and evolving market conditions
- Drive patch and compliance as a growth engine: make centralized, cross-environment patch management (including air-gapped and OT) a flagship direction, and translate it into differentiated roadmap and go-to-market
- Champion the endpoint platform: lead the strategy to establish MetaDefender Endpoint as the single architecture that use-case teams (e.g., Managed File Transfer, Network Access Control, and Endpoint Malware Scanning) develop on — enabling reuse and consistency while protecting each team’s agility and ownership of its business goals
- Own every agent flavor: drive a consistent, high-quality endpoint experience across all agent platforms — Windows and macOS desktop clients and iOS and Android mobile apps
- Lead with an AI-first mindset: bring AI into the day-to-day work of the product organization — from research and requirements to analysis and delivery — to maximize efficiency and output across the team
- Grow and steward the community edition: own the free MetaDefender Endpoint community experience end to end — adoption, engagement, feedback loops, and conversion into commercial value
- Work hands-on with R&D;: partner with global R&D; teams daily — writing crisp requirements, making trade-offs, and driving execution through to high-quality, timely releases
- Build business and partnerships: develop the business case, pricing, and packaging, and cultivate technology and channel partnerships that expand endpoint’s reach and ecosystem
- Lead market & competitive analysis: stay ahead of emerging trends, assess competitive products, and identify customer needs to inform prioritization and positioning
- Drive user-centered development: advocate for the end user by gathering feedback, analyzing usage data, and driving continuous improvement in usability, functionality, and satisfaction
- Orchestrate cross-functional delivery: partner closely with engineering, sales, marketing, and support to deliver high-quality releases and seamless integration into the broader OPSWAT portfolio
- Track performance: establish clear KPIs, monitor product and adoption performance, and use insights to guide enhancements across both commercial and community
- Communicate with stakeholders: clearly articulate strategy, updates, and results to internal teams, executive leadership, and customers — fostering alignment and enthusiasm
- Build and lead the team: build, mentor, and lead a high-performing, cross-disciplinary team of product managers, product designers, product marketing, and engineering professionals, setting a strong bar for product craft and execution
