• Partner with Sophos X-Ops, Sophos MDR Ops, Engineering, Design, Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to ship EDR capabilities that serve both IT generalists and security analysts.

• Use AI-first product management practices to improve discovery, decision-making, requirements definition, launch readiness, customer insight analysis, and product storytelling.

• Define and prioritize AI-powered EDR experiences such as natural language search, case summaries, command analysis, investigation guidance, analyst assistance, and response recommendations.

• Translate customer research, endpoint telemetry, competitive intelligence, revenue opportunities, and field feedback into product requirements that engineering teams can execute.

• Build go-to-market plans, launch narratives, buyer personas, partner enablement, pricing inputs, and adoption motions that grow Sophos EDR revenue, usage, and market leadership.

• Represent Sophos EDR in customer councils, executive briefings, partner conversations, competitive reviews, analyst discussions, and internal strategy forums.

What You Will Bring

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in cybersecurity, endpoint security, EDR, XDR, MDR, security operations, IT operations, or adjacent technical product areas.

• Demonstrated success taking technical products from strategy through launch, adoption, and measurable business impact.

• Strong understanding of endpoint detection and response workflows, including detections, investigations, threat hunting, response actions, telemetry, reporting, and analyst productivity.

• AI-first product management skills, including practical experience using AI to accelerate discovery, synthesis, prioritization, requirements development, launch planning, customer insight analysis, and product operations.

• Strong fluency across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoint platforms for endpoint security outcomes.

• Proven ability to partner with engineering, threat research, security operations, product marketing, sales, and customer-facing teams to define product-market fit and execute go-to-market plans.

• An open mind, strong curiosity, humility, urgency, and sound judgment, with a proven ability to use data, customer insight, and stakeholder input to make clear product decisions.

• Clear executive communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs, customer value, commercial impact, roadmap decisions, and launch priorities in simple language.
