• Shape requirements for areas such as:
  • AI application and agent security
  • Model access governance
  • Prompt and data protection
  • AI activity logging and observability
  • Policy enforcement and runtime guardrails
  • Identity, authorization, and least privilege controls
  • Third-party AI risk management
• Develop business cases, success metrics, and adoption plans for new AI security capabilities.
• Prioritize features and investments based on risk reduction, enterprise value, technical feasibility, and adoption needs.
• Create clear product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and rollout plans.
• Lead cross-functional execution from concept through pilot, launch, and scale.
• Establish feedback loops with users, security teams, and platform teams to continuously improve product effectiveness.
• Track external market developments, regulatory changes, and emerging threats relevant to AI security.
• Communicate roadmap progress, decisions, dependencies, and risks to senior stakeholders in a concise, decision-ready manner.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience across product management, engineering, architecture, cybersecurity, enterprise technology, or related fields.
• Former hands-on experience in engineering and architecture roles, with the ability to engage credibly with technical teams and influence solution direction.
• Experience working in or alongside cybersecurity, cloud, identity, developer platform, or governance functions.
• Strong understanding of AI/ML and GenAI concepts, with the ability to translate technical and risk concepts into product strategy.
• Experience defining product roadmaps and delivering complex enterprise products across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Strong ability to write product requirements and convert ambiguity into clear execution plans.
• Familiarity with AI security concepts such as:
  • prompt injection and misuse risks
  • model and agent access controls
  • human-in-the-loop and approval patterns
  • logging, monitoring, and traceability
  • Third-party model and vendor risk
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, highly cross-functional environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in AI security, cloud security, identity and access management, application security, or security architecture.
• Experience with enterprise AI platforms, AI governance processes, or model risk/control frameworks.
• Familiarity with secure SDLC, platform security patterns, and policy/control implementation.
• Experience working with regulated environments and audit or compliance stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to launch 0-to-1 or early-stage enterprise security capabilities.

Success Profile

The successful candidate will:

• Bring clarity to a fast-evolving AI security landscape.
• Balance speed, usability, and control effectiveness.

Example Outcome Areas

• Launch governance-enabling product features that improve secure onboarding of AI use cases.
• Improve visibility into AI usage, data flows, and security-relevant activity.
