Head of Product

Summary

Join Stairwell, a leading cybersecurity company, as their Head of Product. In this hands-on leadership role, you will own the product roadmap, drive alignment across teams, and build tight feedback loops with customers. You will work closely with engineering, threat research, and product marketing to scope, prioritize, and ship products. The ideal candidate possesses 7+ years of product management experience, including at least 3+ years in security or infrastructure-focused products, and a deep understanding of the modern detection and response ecosystem. You will be responsible for shaping the product strategy, incorporating customer feedback, and making confident decisions. This role offers the opportunity to define a new category in cybersecurity and work with a talented team.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product management experience, including at least 3+ in security or infrastructure-focused products
• Deep understanding of the modern detection and response ecosystem including TIPs, SIEM, SOAR, EDR, malware analysis, and how teams actually operate
• You’ve owned roadmap and strategy before, not just scoped tickets. You’ve shipped products and driven impact
• Strong communicator - structured, sharp, and credible with both engineers and executives
• Ability to move fast. You’re expected to arrive with a working model of the market, not spend two months getting up to speed

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap across the core platform, workflows, integrations, and GTM enablement
• Balance short-term product acceleration with long-term vision and defensibility
• Drive alignment across functions. Make sure every team knows what we’re building, why, and how it moves the mission forward
• Build tight feedback loops with customers, Sales Engineering, Marketing, and Support
• Extract signal from customer asks, field noise, and roadmap chaos and turn it into clear priorities
• Serve as the internal voice of the market. Help the team understand the “why,” not just the “what.”
• Work closely with Engineering to scope, prioritize, and ship
• Partner with Threat Research to translate detection logic, variant discovery, and adversary behaviors into high-leverage product bets
• Work with Product Marketing to position what we build in a way that resonates with users, buyers, and analysts
• Represent the product externally with customers, partners, and analysts. Talk about it like a builder, not a buzzword machine
• Help shape and sharpen how we define the category and how we win it

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with malware analysis workflows, detection engineering, or SOC tooling
• Background in product marketing, analyst relations, or category positioning is a plus
• Familiarity with how threat intel, IR, and SOC workflows intersect — and how to simplify them with software
• Experience with API platforms, integrations, or infrastructure products aimed at highly technical users
• Bonus points if you understand how SIGINT-style systems work - data collection, storage, and continuous analysis at scale. That mindset fits naturally with how we think
