Your responsibilities will be end to end, from problem discovery and user story refinement, all the way through to delivering delightful solutions that customers love.

We are looking for someone who can work with an excellent team to own customer issues and define customer outcomes, support their position with customer, competitor, and sales data, and work effectively in a highly distributed team environment. It's in our culture to learn, adapt, and improve, so you'll be someone who isn't afraid to try new things.

What You'll Do

Identify customer problems and work with UX and Engineering to develop customer solutions aligned with product roadmap goals.

  • Own and drive the future of AI capabilities in Cisco Hypershield
  • Take the lead and spearhead unknown threat detection using eBPF capabilities

  • Product Sense: Bring together insights from every corner (customers, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams) to design and focus on excellent product experiences.
  • Curiosity: Understand that creativity and growth start with a curious, humble approach and asking thoughtful questions.
  • Ownership: The best product managers take the responsibility of delivering a successful product to heart, and step in wherever needed, even if crossing typical role boundaries; they never shy away from the details nor lose sight of the bigger picture.
  • Communication: Effective communication with any audience (company leadership, engineering, customers, and more) is key to success in this role.
  • Attitude & Ambition: inquisitive, hard-working, driven, and not afraid to fail. Team first but willing to take the lead with minimal guidance and supervision.
