You find the mechanics of Security and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) businesses fascinating. You thrive at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Business Systems, Customer Success, and Sales. You could give an impromptu talk on the pros and cons of the value of various types of application / services data for use in threat detection and why none of them are perfect. While most of your product colleagues view building and leading the platform capabilities that enable the SaaS services as a nightmare, you see it as an opportunity. You are excited by the opportunity to work across not only the services teams, but with the engineers and analysts to provide the core of a detection and remediation service - the data.

Still reading? Great! This role isn’t for all PMs. Yes, all of the standard PM things apply – plan, prioritize, communicate, and implement a roadmap, form relationships, and become the authority in how customers use our product. In this role though, less of the focus is on end users and more passionate about internal goals and customers. If you get happiness mostly from building products for external users, it will be frustrating. But if achieving business goals and making systems hum is your thing, and building excellent user experiences is just one of the ways you do it, you’ll thrive!
